Strange behaviour from her daughter leads a mom on a journey through her past where she finds some dark and disturbing secrets, secrets that are soon coming back to haunt her. Directed by Brian Feeny, this taut thriller is a great balance of mind games and gut-churning gore, the kind of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what will happen next, and never disappoints when that next thing hits the screen. The acting is strong, especially from Alisha Seaton as the mom and Jeannie Bolet as her wife. That’s right, wife. One of the best things about The Echo Game is the fact that the parents of the little girl in danger are lesbians and, with the exception of a quick question from a detective at the beginning of the film, noting is ever made of it one way or the other. They are just parents trying to save the child they love. Cheers to that.
