With the buzz surrounding Rodney Ascher’s festival hit THE NIGHTMARE, a horror doc that explores the real-life phenomenon of sleep paralysis, now seems like as good a time as any to get introduced to Anchor Bay’s new thriller ECHOES. The feature directorial debut of Nils Timm (who also wrote the screenplay), ECHOES explores the murky realm between reality and dreams, and what could happen when these worlds collide. Below is your latest look at the film along with some art. Dig it!
ECHOES will hit shelves on Blu-ray and DVD this April 14th.
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?
ECHOES stars Steven Brand, Kate French, Billy Wirth and Steve Hanks.
