Nice mix of thriller and horror
A woman with two men are looking for a person carrying special powers; in order to stole them by killing the bearer.
When the first victim did not have the powers; the start looking for her daughter; a young girl that seems to be very powerful.
This is a very small movie with acceptable acting and some very bloody killings that keep the interest and pace until the "could be better ending"; fill with cheap special effects.
Is not a masterpiece but for 75 minutes very entertaining.
Am I really the first person to post a review for this film?
Well, if this is the case, then hopefully this one review will spark some interest in people and compel them to see it. It most certainly deserves notice and praise.
Even though it isn't to original it does have its share of notable high points and delivers an array of quality that sets itself considerably higher than your average thin budget indie films. This one will surprise you with a terrific cast, marvelous acting, an engaging storyline even a wonderfully orchestrated musical score.
From what I understand, this is the product of a first time director who also co-wrote the screenplay; Brian Feeney. Having what seems to be an extensive background in editing also lends greater skill to this very well done piece of work.
The story seems to dwell more in the psychological thriller genre than say horror or ghost story involving, without giving anything away, a little girl (played beautifully by Melissa Lee) who possesses powerful psychic abilities channeled down from her real mother who was thought to have been dead for years. Both of her parents, Alisha Seaton and Jeannie Bolet (also superb) scramble to keep their daughter safe from a certain wicked woman who originated "The Echo Project" with the intent on using gifted people for evil doings.
There is a couple of nude scenes which doesn't really fit in with the pace and sharpness of the story but they don't decrease the momentum. As a whole the film is a small treasure.
Take note.
