I think I really only liked this movie cause Jesse Bradford was in it. It was kinda spooky but not all that great. It did have its moments to keep you entertained. It just was really nothing special.
Very chilly horror flick at times but the acting and ending left a little to be desired. Overall, not bad at all though.
Let's get the important thing out of the way first...
Jesse Bradford is hot. Topless, tattoos, six pack abs... nuff said ;)
One word - eerie.

We've seen this before - The ring, Grudge, Shutter... but it's still a decent movie, spookier than I thought, but not really scary. It takes its time to build up the horror, which i usually hate, but in this case, it works.
Worth a watch, because it's one of the best remakes i've seen lately... made me jump a few times too :)

Despite its unoriginal plot, it has a well-crafted atmosphere, and the entire cast definitely did a good job.
It's a remake but I love it. It got some really scary parts here and there, so if you wanna watch alone...keep the lights on lol Most of the horror is raised by sound in this movie, which makes a remarkable job at that.
Didn't see the original, but this version was well-made. And yey for Iza Calzado! :D
wonder wads sigaw luks lik .....it rili got me for a few times ,rili creepy at times
The film's impressive atmosphere is thoroughly leveled off by the lackluster story.
A good remake of a Filipino horror film. In some aspects is an improvement over the original, although this movie is slow burning and sometimes a bit too slow. The sound design is amazing though!
The Echo is well bland it's neither very entertaining nor even meaningful i have seen way worse its better than the grudge if thats even making a point all in all its not worth your money SKIP IT!!!
