Rob Lowe stars in the low budget horror film Stir of Echoes: The Homecoming. Unrelated to the original film, this spin-off follows a soldier returning from Iraq, who’s suffering from PTSD, as he begins to have visions of a burn victim and attempts to find a way to appease the vengeful spirit. The film doesn’t follow any of the rules established in the first film, and sort of does its own thing. And this is a problem, as there’s not much continuity. Also, the story and characters are wholly uninteresting; Lowe is boring as hell, and there’s no reason to care about his character. Monotonous garbage, Stir of Echoes: The Homecoming goes for cheap scares and comes up short.
It takes a special type of stupid and greed to look at a decent movie, and then surgically remove every thing that made it good. Slap the originals title on it and ship direct go video. Did you like the original “Stir of Echos”? If so preserve your enjoyment of that movie by avoiding this cash grab of a direct to video release.

The Rob Lowe point of mid-2000's horror and an awful sequel to one of the best films ever.
