The New York Times
In a taut, grippingly intense performance, Bacon captures the frenetic torment of a man driven to extremes by forces he can't begin to fathom.

Stir of Echoes is much more down and dirty (than The Sixth Sense), and the thrills are more visceral.

Koepp does a masterful job of grounding his intimations of the supernatural in a totally persuasive down-to-earth context.

There's visceral horror, too, including a grisly image -- a horror-in-miniature involving a fingernail -- that located an open nerve in my jaded ability to endure screen violence.
