Stir of Echoes (1999). This is simply about a mid-life crisis of the worst kind. This highly underrated flick came out just after The Sixth Sense and hence suffered the the demise of the shadow. The story was a wonderful adaption of a novel by newbie director/old hand writer David Koepp. The acting was impressive for a ghost story, but then again Kevin Bacon rarely disappoints. Kathryn Erbe was solid as well, but it was the child actor Zachary David Cope that shone brilliantly. The scares were impressive, and there was a subtle form of humor that made this one more than entertaining. This was simply a gem in the not so rough. Merci beaucoup.
