The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Never mind the fact that this film would have made a great found footage film if Rose's character actually used modern technology to document her alleged work other than some photos and a twitter feed. Never mind the sound technology she uses that always shows one static mono stream on a huge laptop that never needs charging and has the best wifi card in the world because it always has a signal in an abandoned subway terminal that isn't locked and can be accessed easily by anyone. Never mind the various ghosts who show up for absolutely no reason to seemingly help Rose, and never mind the cop who shows up with no explanation for his interest other than to have Rose debunk the ghosts and never mind the strange way he dies or why, because the film never minded that either, and never mind Rose's dedicated bf who easily runs four miles to the station, easily finds the entrance to the abandoned subway and easily wanders around looking for Rose and easily finds her just at the right moment. And never mind seeing this film, because it's just wasted potential.
As soon as Rose McGowan (the central character) enters the lower level of a Toronto subway station, the film sinks lower than the station could ever sink. Stink rhymes with sink. This film is a boring, confusing mish-mash that never makes much sense. The scariest part of the movie is the ending, which is a set up for a sequel! Terrifying!
The Sound is a thriller that was a truly enjoyable experience to watch. While some thrillers tend to drag on forever, this one was the perfect length and had great movement throughout the plot. I was really interested in the concept of this film from the beginning, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The story follows main character Kelly, who works to debunk ghost sighting via sound waves. She measures the waves and uses the sound frequency to account for visual and auditory hallucinations that occur when her clients "see ghosts." Since this concept was introduced immediately, the film does an incredible job of keeping the viewer guessing what's real and what's not. I was hooked until the end to see the conclusion of her adventures to debunk her most complicated job yet. It definitely takes the viewers along for an intense and thrilling ride. The plot and subplot in this movie are very well executed, with good acting and visuals. For future viewers, i would definitely compare this movie to a Shutter Island type movie- it wasn't a classic gory, horror movie- it has more psychological thriller base. If you're interested in the supernatural, paranormal, science, and psychology, this is a movie you won't want to miss!
I watched this movie' 'The Sound''. O my God this is totally amazing with full of drama. The movie is a "thinking person's horror film"The best this about this movie is this is not typical horror movie with knifes and flowing blood.so those who love to watch bloody type of horror movies this is not for them. This is supernatural recording of every scene. Every scene looks so natural.
