THE ECHO (Sigaw)

(Philippines, 2004) Dir.: Yam Laranas

Marvin, a young man, moves into a unit of an old decrepit apartment building. He doesn't really want to live there, but it's his way of expressing his independence from his mother. Every night, he hears awful sounds of abuse emanating from his neighbor's apartment. The noise turns out to be an abusive cop who frequently beats his wife in front of their young daughter. Marvin's girlfriend, Pinky tries to talk him into moving, but he won't let fear get the better of him. When Marvin begins to see flashes of the neighbor's daughter drenched in blood, he begins to worry about his sanity. But there are far worse things than madness at work in his apartment complex. Marvin and Pinky must now confront the evil in the apartment building or be forever haunted by its secret.

35mm, 105 minutes, color, narrative, in Tagalog w/E.S.
