What’s also new here is the idea that apparitions can move with the person they’re haunting.

It’s a brilliant way to turn a well-worn trope on its head and bring something new to the table and the concept works BECAUSE we’re expecting the usual stereotypes and cliches not in spite of it. Whilst it may look like they are, and indeed we’re meant to think they are, attacking her in a very cliched well-worn ghost story style it turns out that instead they are literally reaching out to her for help. Intriguingly the ghostly apparitions here aren’t actually looking to harm Alysa. One that makes Echoes of Fear stand out from the crowd? Well… Thankfully, despite a shaky, somewhat stereotypical, opening it turns out Echoes of Fear has a GREAT idea behind its story… One that, once you’ve seen the film, gives an all-new, deeper, meaning to what is – at first – a generic horror title. So you need to have a solid idea for one if you set out to make a haunted house film today. They have been since the dawn of horror film making. Let’s be honest, haunted house movies are ten-a-penny. When her friend Steph arrives they attempt to solve the mystery and what they uncover forces them to confront the diabolical truth about what this “home” is hiding. Something supernatural lurks in the house and she begins to believe that her grandfather was trying to find something before he died. While she is packing away her grandfather’s belongings some strange and unexplained events inside the house start to spook her and she soon comes to the conclusion that she is not alone. She cannot keep the house so travels there to prepare it for sale.
