The best thing about "Echoes of Innocence" might be its title, which sounds like it's going to be soft porn, or maybe a Lifetime
Network movie about child molestation. The funny part is that it's actually a movie about NOT having sex. Innocence has been echoing in the ears of morose high school senior Sarah (Sara Simmonds) for years. A devoted Christian who goes to Catholic confessional but who attends her own makeshift church services out in the woods, complete with candles and fervent prayers, Sarah decided long ago that she would save herself for marriage. Ever since middle school, when she gave an impassioned speech on the chasteness of Joan of Arc, Sarah has been known as The Virgin, or just Virge. She's kind of pretty despite dressing all Gothy, and she's a frequent recipient of unwelcome advances by horny high school boys, each believing he can be the one to break her will. If only they knew how deeply committed Sarah is! And also how deeply crazy. Not only does she have her own church in the woods, but she also has "visions" on a regular basis -- not the voice of God speaking to her, exactly, but vague foretellings of things to come and people to watch out for.
