In the feature directorial debut from Nils Timm (who also wrote the screenplay), ECHOES explores the murky realm between reality and dreams, and what could happen when these worlds collide. Sleep paralysis is no doubt a terrifying subject—one that is all too real for some folks— and with the first trailer for ECHOES, it shines a light on Anna, whose sleep paralysis is accompanied by a mysterious figure. Watch the trailer below!
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.
