Anchor Bay to release Nils Timm’s Echoes, starring Kate French, in April

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A few months ago we brought you the AFM trailer for Nils Timm's directorial debut ECHOES, which stars Kate French, Billy Wirth, Steven Brand, and Steve Hanks in a tale that concerns sleep paralysis, terrifying visions, and ghostly terrors. Now we've learned that Anchor Bay will be releasing ECHOES on DVD and Blu-ray on April 15.

I dug the first trailer for ECHOES as there were some decent visuals on display and it seems to do a good job of capturing the terror of sleep paralysis pretty well. You may recall that the terrors of sleep paralysis is also the subject of Rodney Ascher's THE NIGHTMARE, which just had its premiere at Sundance. ECHOES tosses in a dark mystery to the proceedings, making it look like it could be a creepy good time.

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?

Look for ECHOES to arrive on Blu-ray and DVD April 15th from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
