Did You Know?
| Trivia | The title of the original Filipino film (Sigaw) translates to The Shout or The Scream. The title on the DVD release was changed to The Echo to avoid confusion with Wes Craven's horror film entitled Scream (1996). This remake followed suit. See more » |
| Goofs | Alyssa sees Gina knocking on Bobby's door and immediately suspects he's seeing another girl and tells her friends about this. The fact that Gina was covered in bruises and was obviously in tears did not seem to occur to her at all. See more » |
