Watch The Echo For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This movie is pointless, too boring and too predictable. In less than 10 minutes we understand what is going on: a family used to live there and the dead wife used to ask a guy to stay with her daughter while her police-drunk husband spanked her. The other guy and pink are in the present but the dead wife "stills around" 'cause he must open the door. Just that! Then, the history which is already self-explanatory, is explained over and over again. It's really boring, If you want to see a hell of a movie watch "a tale of two sisters" beats the crap out of this movie! A friend of mine didn't even watch it till the end, 'cause he was really suffering (lol!)

Just when horror movies were becoming predictable, SIGAW and its director Yam Laranas came along to deliver the biggest scare of all.And it's a scare that's not achieved with special effects and thick makeup and even thicker music -- but by going to the core of what really scares us.That noise we can't explain. That thing that doesn't look right. That person who is there but should not be there. Something that seems to be following you. Sigaw is genuinely, deeply creepy.I don't know if Hollywood would see they've got a gem of a film here. Sigaw has its peculiar sense of timing. It certainly doesn't conform to a Hollywood formula of one scare per ten minutes. There is a long scene where the director keeps you in a state of simple nervous expectancy. And then are there are non stop scares where you're hardly allowed to breath. But that's exactly why fans of horror will need and want this one. It's a shot in the arm for the genre.

To start with, I'm an American "mutt." I don't consider myself to belong to any culture unless "white bread" should start appearing on the US census. I speak almost no Tagalog (Filipino), and understand little. That said, I watched "Sigaw" on DVD with English subtitles."Sigaw" is an interesting movie. It lacks the visual cues to let an American audience know "This is the present..." "this is the past..." but it's a movie that shows the history of a haunted apartment building in parallel (past and present). We see a struggling restaurant owner trying to make sense of the noises and getting little sleep. We see another younger man trying not to get involved in a very loud domestic dispute.The movie centers on the present-day man trying to make sense of it, and just trying to get by, hopefully by ignoring it. The movie is mostly atmospheric, with a few surprises, and little gore. Similar to the "The Others" and "Sixth Sense", most of the fun is trying to figure out what's the story, and what's the right solution.American cinema often borrows from foreign. "The Birdcage" is a remake of a French play. "The Ring" and "The Grudge" are both remakes from Asia. Doing an American remake of "Sigaw" might be worthwhile for a director who values atmosphere and story over effects and gore. On the whole, I'd recommend "Sigaw" for Americans who enjoy wondering about what goes bump in the night...

(Possible Spoiler)The movie is very Predictable but nicely done, every scene is really creepy though it shows that this film is a low budget one...The story only evolves on the same path of actions. As the movie ends -- probably you'll already memorize lines that kept on repeating all over again..As the movie reaches the finale, there's still many things left without closure, so you'll end up with lots of questions to yourself such as:1.) What happened to the first tenant of the apartment room 306? he's the one to be hunted by the spirits of Anna and Lara (Izza Calsado & Denise Guevarra) not other innocent people...2.) Did the parents of Pinky (Angel Locsin) Already forgive Marvin (Richard Gutierez)?3.) What happened to the remains of their body? who seen them on 7th floor? what happened to the case?Many thing's are left without closure, and will leave you lots of questions,but this is a good thrilling experience though,the movie is executed nicely...
