A low budget horror movie that has its own way of doing things.

HAUNTED ECHOES is a story about a husband and wife whose daughter is abducted one night, after a 10 day search her body is eventually found, several months later the husband and wife move in to an old house, and a series of strange events start to take place.

The fact that this film is low budget is obvious once it gets started, but that doesn't mean it didn't have the talent behind it, unlike your big budget fare these days, this film has own way to generate a creepy tone, it isn't very atmospheric, and it doesn't really aim to make you jump out of your seat, it concentrates more on setting the right mood, which it manages very well.

The script itself is very well written, it develops the characters of the husband and wife well enough for you to relate to their situation, and everything they do and how they react to certain things all make sense.

In case you might feel you won't enjoy this film because it is low budget, here's a few things to take into account, it is directed by Harry Bromley Davenport, who was known for directing an early 80's sci-fi movie called XTRO that later spawned two sequels, and stars Sean Young, David Starzyk and E. Emmet Walsh, who give believable performances and are not exactly unfamiliar faces.

Overall, if you're looking for artistic aspirations, you probably won't find it here, but if want creative film making skill or creative talent you'll find plenty.
