    This is worth scarier than the original! The supernatural story is a surprisingly good and dramatic tale of prejudice and justice. Rob Lowe gives a solid performance in the role. It is certainly polemic for many, but I liked it, specially the unexpected twist with the true reason... read more for the spirit's revenge.
    As the ghosts haunting Rob Lowe's character Cogan become more frustrated and aggressive, their attacks become increasingly more violent. Much like Kevin Bacon's character in the first movie, Cogan also experiences various hallucinations related to future events. I certainly can't fault the work of director Ernie Barbarish who manages to stretch a small budget out so the movie looks great.

    This inferior sequel to the highly underrated original was quite enjoyable through most of the film. Several suspenseful moments and scares to keep you interested.

    The only issue I had was during the revelation at the end. The final flashback revealing the truth was a little t... read moreoo long. It could have been edited down to just the basic idea with limited dialogue: Here's what happened. Boom. Done. Too much dialogue removed emotion from an essential element of the plot.

    Watched it on late night on FX. It killed time between 1 and 3 in the morning. It was good for that purpose by itself. It's not worth a rental or anything.

    This wasn't that bad.I went in with low expectations the way you have to do when watching a movie like this,especially a sequel to a movie like this.They are almost always a let down.While I wouldn't call it great,it was good and I recommend it to anyone who likes supernatural ty... read morepe ghost stories.It startled me a few times which is hard to do.

    I'd really like to give whoever decided to make this sequel a condemnation of the Iraq War a good smack. What an absolute waste of time. It basically carbon-copied the original, and decided to grand-stand. What Senator is watching this?

    If the dead could communicate with us they would say, "don't watch this movie."

    I have nothing good to say about this piece of shit and it gives me a headache to try and think of anything worthwhile to say about it so instead I will just say that if you have not seen the origina... read morel Stir of Echoes, get on it because it's dope--perfectly creepster, perfectly filmed, perfectly plotted. When making a movie about ghosts the scare factor is so limitless, know why? Because you can't kill ghosts and they're scary as fuck, however stir of echoes 2 does a great job of making them laughable and the least scary things in the world. Rob Lowe's acting is embarrassing. This movie is simply a waste of film reel.
