1.4 - Stir of Echoes

Let the battle for best 1999 Supernatural Horror Thriller begin! 

The Mikes argue which is better: M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense or this week's Forgotten Cinema selection; Stir of Echoes starring Kevin Bacon?

Join Michael Butler and Michael Field as they discuss David Koepp's skills as a screenwriting, grotesque practical effects, the importance of secondary over ancillary characters, and what makes a good supernatural thriller.

Oh, and one of them is wrong about which of the two films is better. !!!SPOILER ALERT!!! It's Mike.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
