Admittedly, the film is bolted to an intriguing psychological/paranormal premise, but the narrative trudges along in a fitful monotony of somber tones and stodgy pacing.

Greenwood is excellent, as always. And a carefully measured performance by Sonja Bennett as Maggie's confused, protective mother contributes to a sense of stampeding panic.

1/4

Billed as a "supernatural thriller," Donovan's Echo feels more like an overwrought made-for-TV movie.

8/10

Audiences should be enthralled by most of what takes place, especially because of the stellar acting.

2/5

The indie flick's heart is in the right place but, unfortunately, its arteries are seriously clogged up with syrupy sappiness.

I thought it was worth watching, made you go over things in your head, some things didn't want to think about but it's all good.

Great acting & pacing. It's a little slow and sombre but that doesn't matter when there's a thoughtful story unfolding. Overall a quality production.

Mostly confusing with some tepid acting all around. It turns it around at the 1h11m mark, for about 45 seconds. After that, you don't think anymore about the 1h10m you won't get back. Worth it.

The movie was pretty amazing but the security guard in the last third of the movie really tied it together. When he said "pretty fast for an old guy" I got chills.
