I can't say this is a good film. There are good ideas here, the main actress does a good job and some violent/gory interesting scenes.

However, the plot (and the explanation for the occurrence btw) is not developed enough and that trio/romance story blaghh. It just didn't keep my interest.

Imagine if you will a group of app designers creating a horror film, the end result wouldnt be unlike 'sound of violence', it must be said that the folk responsible for this movie are 'NOT' app designers, but they might as well be because their movie is as slick,.functional.and empty.as an app.

The idea of sound as a catalyst for evil isn't anything new, but at least recent offerings like 'berberian sound studio' and 'a.quiet place' used noise (or.a lack thereof in 'a qp's' case) to perfectly build tension and unease. ' sound of violence' despite its self descriptive title uses sound as an afterthought and the subtle use of it in the aforementioned movies is absent here as the movie just relies on heavy handed visual.shocks that you are more accustomed to seeing in the torture porn or slasher subgenres of horror movies, not the the art house horror this alludes to being. I Too arty and contrived for gorehounds and not challenging or idiosyncratic enough for your chin.stroking film buff, this movie is all froth and no coffee.

I feel sorry to Jasmin Savoy Brown for wasting her talent on this film which clearly suffers from some identity crisis. It's rather laughable when Sound of Violence thought itself highly without realizing how silly and dull it was.

The Sound of Violence (2020) follows a young woman who regains her hearing and realises she experiences intense pleasure when hearing humans in pain. This film was entertaining, and had a very original and interesting concept. I just wish there was a bit more to it, and the narrative was stronger.

The cinematography felt quite amateur but the visuals were fun and psychedelic in some places. The gore was also quite unrealistic looking but it still managed to get under my skin! I particularly liked the harp scene which REALLY freaked me out.

The characters were a little bland, and the acting was fairly decent apart from Sonya's actor who I found to be unbelievable. However, a character I genuinely really liked and wished they'd explored more into was Duke, he seemed sweet.

The movie as a whole was very bizarre, outlandish and not realistic at all. But, I don't think it needed to be! The film is full of strange moments. I appreciated that the filmmakers tried to take a very experimental and original turn with the film, even though it didn't always succeed, you could see the effort!

The pacing was steady, and in the middle it got a little dull as it wasn't gripping enough, and it ended up dragging a bit. On the other hand, there was quite a good build up of tension which made me want to continue watching to see how crazy the main character's life could get.

A brand new world of an ecstatic existence that feeds on veils of viewer's reality. Movie travles to the darkest corners of a broken mind helpless and dependent on sparks of stimuli. Though Jasmine's performance was adequate in portraying the killer ecstasy it lacked emotions of insanity or maybe the story was cut short too early. Alexa's character seemed hardly capable to equip advanced techniques too. Beside such flaws it's a great attempt to literally paint a picture of what make the Alexas tick. Therefore in that regard Sound of Violence is a special project that has achieved mapping a special mind.
