That doesn't have anything to do with ghosts, I know, but it sure is a neat shot. Starring: Kevin Bacon, Kathryn Erbe, Illeana Douglas. After being hypnotized, a skeptical man begins having visions of a grisly crime that may be linked to a missing girl, prompting him to search for her. (Asked for advice after nudging these events into motion, she unhelpfully suggests, "Find one of those young priests with smoldering good looks to sort of guide you through this.") Fred Murphy's photography places these people in the real world, and there is one shot that's a stunner, starting with the lineman up on a pole making a call, and then pulling back until we see a vast Chicago River vista and no less than three L trains at the same time. 1999 Maturity Rating: 13+ 1h 39m Thrillers. Kathryn Erbe is not merely worried, but also exasperated by her husband, which is the right realistic touch, and Illeana Douglas plays the kind of sister-in-law who takes what you like in your wife and carries it too far. Here he implodes in a role where that's the right choice another actor might have reached too far. Kevin Bacon is sometimes able to suggest characters who are being driven mad by themselves. / 4:36 Poe - Hello (Stir of Echoes Remix) Jed Nyne 144 subscribers 117K views 12 years ago This is the song Hello by Poe, an older artist but good nonetheless, This is the remiz that was. I would have liked more of that subplot, which isn't developed, but never mind: Koepp's screenplay dovetails the supernatural stuff with developments among the neighbors which are, wisely, more sad and tragic than sensational. Maggie, meanwhile, comes into contact with a Chicago cop (Eddie Bo Smith Jr.) who is also a Receiver, and there's an intriguing scene where she stumbles across a meeting of other people who can see supernatural dimensions. The director's cut toned down the mashed potatoes, and Koepp might one day consider similar repairs. The movie's about ghosts, not digging, and I was reminded of Steven Spielberg's " Close Encounters of the Third Kind," in which Richard Dreyfuss, receiving impulses from aliens, sculpts his mashed potatoes. This is the movie's weakest section the writer-director, David Koepp, makes him dig more than is necessary to make the point. Eventually be brings in a pneumatic drill. Then Samantha tells Tom, "dig." So he digs. Her sister baby-sits Jake, who somehow knows the name of the missing girl Samantha told him.

Early in the film he asks an unseen presence, "Does it hurt to be dead?" After a vision of a ghostly young woman named Samantha appears to Tom on his living room sofa, Jake reaches out and touches his hand: "Don't be afraid of it, Daddy." We learn that several months ago a mentally retarded girl disappeared in the neighborhood. They're gonna start docking him." Only his son Jake ( Zachary David Cope) understands. In this Chicago version, she tells her sister: "He's used up all his sick days. In a Manhattan movie his wife would have sent him to a shrink. He starts calling in sick, and his wife Maggie ( Kathryn Erbe) is worried: Is he getting goofy? After the movies about satanic manifestations in Manhattan skyscrapers, it's nice to see weird things happening to people who hang out in the corner saloon, go to high school football games and walk down the block to church. Tom's nights are prowled by nightmares, and his lovemaking is interrupted by hallucinations of severed body parts (that will certainly do the trick). They're linked, perhaps, to events on the street, where the neighbors are salt-of-the-earth types who are into buying old houses and fixing them up.
