Berberian Sound Studio
Directed by Peter Strickland
A sound mixer working on an Dario Argento-style giallo is drawn into a surreal nightmare in Peter Strickland’s critically acclaimed homage to ‘70s Italian horror. Toby Jones (THE MIST) stars as the master Foley artist who’s brought to Italy to work on a gruesome gore flick. As he starts stabbing vegetables and going to further extremes to make the disturbing sound effects, the line between what’s real and what’s fiction starts to break down - a scary but apt metaphor for both the process of creating cinema and the experience of viewing it. Stylish and chilling.

The bad kind of arthouse
so real. surreal. but So Real , in Life. So Real.
A cool concept but the ending could have done so much more. Honestly think this would make a better mystery/thriller/drama than horror movie.
I enjoyed how much time and effort is put into making the most horrible sound effects with common household items. The way the casual sexism of and mean they really tortured the shit out of that witch (the in-movie movie) but never seeing a second of the film
it was okay. i dont think it achieved what it as going for, but the look into foley and sound mixing from this perspective was cool.
