surprisingly good ghost story about a man whose mind is opened to the paranormal after a hypnosis session gone awry. The film turns into a murder mystery as our hero struggles to comprehend what the ghost is telling him.
Stir of Echoes: Homecoming attempts to capitalize on the original without much more in common than it being about a ghost trying to tell a tortured protagonist something. Which is pretty much the plot of every ghost story ever.

Cogan orders an allied tank to fire a warning shot at a vehicle approaching his checkpoint, but due to a miscommunication the tank fires ON the vehicle, killing everyone in it except for a young girl who is subsequently killed in a se

Homecoming bridges the gap between civilian and military lives, bringing the war home so to speak, through the paranormal. On the surface it may seem antiwar, but its surprisingly pro-soldier, detailing the struggles Cogan faces in paying his bills as a discharged soldier under

investigation for the death of civilians, the lack of medical care for shell-shocked soldiers, and a civilian population who cant possibly understand what hes been through. In that regard, Homecoming drives the point home that war is hell – not just on the battlefield, but at home.
Unfortunately it drives the point home with a sledgehammer. Homecomings messages are poignant but occasionally forced. Lowe does a passable job of a conflicted soldier, but the chemistry between he and McPhail is nonexistent. Lewis, who bears the majority of emotional scenes, struggles with his lines. The ending spirals and leaves Cogan with few options. When the ghost starts possessing Cogan, it robs the narrative of any moral dilemma by taking away personal choice.
For all its flaws, Homecoming is an unflinching portrayal of the costs of war…that just happens to be a ghost movie. With such a burden to bear, theres not much hope of a happy ending.
