You know when you watch a movie for the first time, and you can tell that it's a new favourite even though you've not had a repeat viewing yet? This was one of those times. The atmosphere and weight and interminable sense foreboding that this film has is incredible, and it's inventive in every way that I wanted it to be, and it's a a film that I'm going to enjoy coming back to in the future

Part folk horror, part body horror, part quest for music that will change your perception and open you up to new experiences (be they good or bad), All You Need Is Death follows a pair of folk song archivists as they track down an obscure song that has never been recorded, only to discover that bad things happen to everyone who hears the song

The sound design is everything; it's peak Lynch in terms of ominous background noise, and the actual music, very importantly for a film about music, hits the mark every time.
