Download Free Stir Of Echoes: The Homecoming

I was never really sure why people didn't like this move as much as the
first. I was really impressed with the way this film was made. the plot
is very similar to the first and just as entertaining. Another thing
that I should mention is that this sequel is much scarier and creepier
than the first one. The ending was not the best of the best but it was
acceptable for the situation. The acting was just fantastic and most of
the scenes were played out very well and quite believable. When the
movie was over I almost immediately wanted to see it again. Not much to
dislike about this sequel, unless you're not a big fan of tragic
endings, but overall a very good sequel and great way to get some good
scares..

When coming across a direct to DVD sequel of a mainstream horror or sci
fi movie movie, usually one cannot be blamed for staying away. The
rental stores are full of such sequels that are abysmal due to poor
acting, poor special effects, and most of all poor directing. One will
both waste their time and their money trying to enjoy such nonsense.

Imagine the surprise when Stir of Echoes: The Homecoming, yes a sequel
to a mainstream horror movie, proves itself to be a surprisingly
intelligent thriller. The Homecoming won't win any awards but it does
hold its own and is able to give a convincing story.

Captain Ted Cogan (Rob Lowe) holds himself responsible for the death of
an Iraqi family during his tour of duty. Like many veterans, Ted only
wants to return home to his family and forget the war so that he can go
back to the life he once knew. The problem is that such memories never
fade easily and home is never the same once you have been gone for so
long. Ted's wife Molly (Marnie McPhail) and son Max (Ben Lewis) find
that the husband and father they once knew is a different man.

However, something else haunts Ted. A series of graphic images of those
who died in Iraq, including strange visions of what appear to be the
future, stalk Ted. While he believes it to be mere post traumatic
stress disorder, it soon becomes clear that something else is going on
and that Ted is facing a different kind of ghost then he expected.
While his family falls apart around him, Ted realizes that if he is to
keep his sanity then he needs to solve the mystery of what is
happening.

Much like the previous Stir of Echoes, a spirit demands vengeance and
unless that vengeance is fulfilled then that spirit will take its anger
out on whoever it can reach. The truth, however, is more horrific than
even Ted could imagine and will force him to make the most difficult
choice in his life. The ghost isn't one that followed him from Iraq.
The truth is that the ghost wants vengeance against Max for a crime he
committed......

Stir of Echoes Homecoming doesn't rely on gore to push the horror that
Ted is experiencing. Instead it uses dialog and mood setting to give
the feeling of Ted's isolation and confusion. Not the best movie but it
is a good sequel that shows the original idea of Stir of Echoes is
still interesting.
