What happens

The Echo is a 2008 American supernatural horror film directed by Yam Laranas and written by Eric Bernt and Shintaro Shimosawa. It is a remake of the 2004 Filipino film Sigaw, which was also directed by Laranas. The film stars Jesse Bradford and Amelia Warner, with Iza Calzado reprising her role from the original. The film was first released at the Fantasia Film Festival on July 17, 2008, in Canada. The film ultimately failed to get a theatrical release in the United States and was released straight-to-video on November 10, 2009, on DVD and Blu-ray formats. The theatrical release occurred internationally. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
