Sleep becomes a nightmare in “Echoes,” a supernatural thriller coming to us from Anchor Bay Entertainment. The award-winning film, an official selection of the FilmQuest Film Festival and New York City International Film Festival, will soon be available on DVD and Blu-ray April 14. The film features the directorial debut of Nils Timm, who also penned the screenplay.
The new trailer for the film gives a look at just how scary sleep will become for the main character, Anna (Kate French, “Channeling,” “Gossip Girl,” “One Tree Hill”), who becomes haunted in her dreams after her boyfriend (Steven Brand, “Teen Wolf,” “The Scorpion King,”) leaves her behind while on a retreat.
“Struggling with horrifying, sleep-paralysis induced visions, Anna (French), a young writer, retreats with her boyfriend (Brand) to an isolated yet beautiful glass house in the desert. Hoping that the desert vistas surrounding her will spur her creative juices, she welcomes the opportunity to stay behind when her boyfriend must return to the city for urgent business.
However, Anna’s sleep paralysis does not abate, despite the calming environment. And now, her attacks are accompanied by a mysterious figure, caked with dirt as if it was made of sand itself. As the visions intensify, she finds herself on the verge of losing her mind…or is she being lead to uncover a life-threatening secret??”
The film also stars Billy Wirth (“Chicago P.D.,” “The Lost Boys”) and Steve Hanks (“12/12/12,” “Hold Your Breath”). Take a look at the trailer below and write what you think in the comments section below!
