I thought it did get overshadowed by the Sixth Sense. I personally thought Stir of Echoes was a better movie. Sixth Sense to me was way too predictable.

Stir of Echoes was a pretty decent film. Good acting & plot.

The sequel will suck ass.

And yes, it got overshadowed by 6th Sense BIG TIME, but so did a lot of other films. 6th Sense was the only semi-horror movie that people were talking about at all that year.
