As someone watching Stir of Echoes for the very first time, I can't think of a better introduction than Lionsgate’s new 25th Anniversary 4K UHD Amazon Exclusive SteelBook. While the film may have flown under the radar compared to some of its late-’90s contemporaries, this newly restored release offers the perfect opportunity to rediscover—or, in my case, discover—a surprisingly eerie and engaging psychological thriller that deserves more attention.
