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.

Not very good. I am a big Gialo fan. This did a good job of portraying the horrors the women had to endure but missed the mark.
I usually love mind trip horror. Especially the very quiet kind that you have to really pay attention to and think about. This tried to be that, and failed.
Did not understand it at all
meh
Didn’t work for me. Not really a horror movie more like a fish out of water culture Clash movie about an English guy working on an Italian film production and all of the cultural clashes there in. at the end in the last 20 minutes or so they try to allude to something psychological or horror related happening, but it didn’t make any sense. The movie has no plot really no theme. It’s really just about a guy working in the audio department of making a movie in Italy in the 70s.
