Engage with a series of cryptic riddles, guiding your steps through a series of haunting houses, each hiding secrets that echo through the ages. Echoes of Fear premiered at the 18th annual Shriekfest Horror Festival, the longest running horror festival in Los Angeles, where it won Best Supernatural Horror Feature. It takes the basics of a creepy, haunted house tale and layers in a couple of complexities that heightens the interest level.

Good grief, why do so many female actors have their mouths gaping open like an idiot in every other scene? Looking to find answers she starts investigating her grandfather's mysterious death but in doing so uncovers the horrific truth and the shocking events of the past. Sure, the acting is just so-so, and the production values are not great at all, but judging it for what it is, I enjoyed it. Echoes of Fear : After her grandfather dies in a bathroom fall, Alysa (Trista Robinson) inherits his house and prepares it for sale.Trista Robinson has a sort of little-girl voice that’s initially really grating, and a habit of not only acting like every creak in the house is a serial killer sneaking in, but of then walking around in the house, in the dark, with her mouth hanging open and a gormless look on her face like she’s a teenager in a Halloween movie just waiting to get murdered. An annoying lead actress leads us through a story about an old man dying in the shower; his granddaughter and boyfriend move into the property, only to find weird neighbours and even weirder events taking place in the home.

It sent me and my husband crazy how totally irritating her damn voice was and the relief when she wasn't on the screen.The deeper she digs, the darker and more dangerous things become, eventually culminating in an all out battle for her life. Closer to home - the South Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh - Roy Kirk's murder of Ann Hoover also had a hand in this film. I didn’t expected that as I am a scary movie lover and the actors are all new to me but they are a bunch of good actors. Explore the breathtaking Valley, take in the beautiful scenery while at the same time gathering clues to help determine the final location of the Artifact.
