Movie stir of echoes10/28/2023 There were a few vague references to the premonitions that tied to the story in an enjoyable way, for example, the reason he kept hearing “Paint it Black” was because that was the song playing while she was being raped. Kevin Bacon did a pretty decent job walking the line of someone who is crazed because of the importance of what he is doing while not just being “crazy”. There are scenes that seem a little hokey and almost silly, that would work fine in a book, but on-screen doesn’t translate as well. It is based on a short story, and it shows. This viewing of the film was far more enjoyable, and slightly less awkward. Look at him tear into that lawn with the physique of Iggy Pop! This family moves out of their house, and the film ends with the little boy still hearing visions wherever he goes. Their parents were in on the cover-up, so they attempt to silence him, but one parent turns on the other parent. After touching the body, he sees the rape and murder of the girl, which turns out to be committed by two boys in the neighborhood. After receiving the vision of the words “DIG”, he begins tearing up his house, and eventually finds a body, covered in an orange jacket. By constantly fluctuating between the real world and these visions, his wife gets alienated and his job is at risk, yet he feels this is the most important thing he has done with his life. Clearly there is something supernatural going on, and not only that, but his young son is the only person who claims to share these visions. This results in visions of a young girl in his house, involving broken fingernails, the feeling of suffocation, an orange jacket, and a song he can’t quite put his finger on. At a party one night, his sister-in-law hypnotizes him and leaves a subconscious suggestion to be more open. Kevin Bacon plays a (supposedly) typical Chicago utility worker who regrets where he ended up in life, who’s also quite close-minded. Knowing Kevin Bacon, he’d probably still fuck her. Not only that, but I got that shit on BLU-RAY. Realizing I didn’t remember much of it, and after seeing that it was actually filmed in my neighborhood, I decided to give it another shot. To be honest, I didn’t really remember much from the film, other than it involved “Paint it Black” by the Rolling Stones. Well, she stopped watching shortly after the love scene where Kevin Bacon had visions of fingernails falling off and then going to the bathroom to pull his own teeth out. The first time I watched this movie, it was on VHS right after it came out, and I had invited my mom to watch it with me.
