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.

There are plenty of places she could of gone to get her rocks off, but she just chooses silly things that make no sense.
So many avenues for her, child birth, cage fights, bull riding.
That's why it is a very dumb movie, with unconvincing motivations.

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.

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 ten year-old girl witnesses a bloody murder and later has dreams of the events as an adult. The story makes no sense as the grown up woman lives with another woman and neither seems to have a job. They record music for no apparent reason and the only point of interest is the boyfriend of the killer being played by James Jagger, the son of Mick. I can't get no satisfaction from this film.
