Sound of Silence

I normally don't go by reviews because sometimes their made by either paid trolls or simply haters against the production but after watching this amateurish bad acting film, it is truly safe to say that the negative reviews are spot on. This was by far one of the worst films I've watched in a long time. After an entire hour and a half of nothing and ridiculous dialogue, just to found out that this is nothing but a ghost story about domestic violence. Italian actors at their very worst, I kid you not. It's like watching dress rehearsal for people audition for a part and were cast who knew they was no real paycheck involved. Believe every last negative review because this film was just awful.... UGH!

This might have been made on someone's hand held video cam. Just fyi I hate most found footage films that aren't Japanese flicks from the early 00s or Hell House LLC. I walked out of The Blair Witch. So I'm not going to sit through something that looks like a very talented home movie, first of all.

It is hands down the worst cinematography I've ever seen in an Italian film. Some American trends aren't worth copying, folks.

The terrible cinematography can't even be saved by convincing acting that would allow even a slight suspension of disbelief that is IS a home movie. The acting is so bad and that's not all.

The director has to point out that the flick begins in America by waking the main character up to the most obnoxious 1992 sounding radio talk show host mentioning that it's America.

Then laughably the scenes of Italy almost could be the US. Of course I live in California and we have some of that Tuscan architecture here with the Spanish tile, but the opening Italian parts are about as distinctively Italian as having a mouth or a nose. There's a hospital, a street and a food truck that appears to be in a sprawling Walmart parking lot that says Bar in English!

I just gave up. I really wanted to see this flick too because I've had a fear of haunted radios since I was like 4 and I thought dead people were talking through my grandma's bedroom radio when it turned to static.

This movie stank its so bad i wanted to cry while watching it DONT watch it with his freaking screaming and twitching like dang what's happening the jumpscares are so bad like a 3 year old is acting sorry but neva seen a movie that stank this bad like what even was all dat screaming for nothin disgusting movie ever so bad i wanted to fart in my seat like i wished i was sleepin rather than watching this even the ending Sucked like dang how bad can u make a movie jumpscares from 1992 just dont make a movie if u dont know how like dont watch it ever cause not worth it so bad and horrible movie im disgusted.

When I stumbled upon the 2023 horror movie titled "Sound of Silence", of course I had to watch it, given my love and admiration of the horror genre. I had not heard about the movie prior to watching it, so I had no idea what I was in for, aside from it being a horror movie. But the movie's synopsis seemed fair enough.

I am amazed that four writers could collectively manage to come up with something as dull, slow paced and uninteresting as the script for "Sound of Silence". Writers and directors Alessandro Antonaci, Daniel Lascar, Stefano Mandalà and T3 really failed to concoct anything worthwhile watching here.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Sound of Silence", and while it definitely felt like the actresses and actors put on fair enough performances, they virtually had nothing to work with in terms of anything remotely interesting in the script, character gallery or dialogue.

"Sound of Silence" was a swing and a miss of a horror movie, and it is not one that I will ever return to watch a second time. I didn't even make it through it the first time; I simply gave up on the movie out of sheer and utter boredom. Don't waste your time, money or effort here.

My rating of "Sound of Silence" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, and it is the production level of the movie that lands the movie on a two star rating instead of a single star.

I have never written a review before this but after watching this trash I felt morally compelled to create an account with IMDB and say something to spare others from wasting time with this filth. Some stylistic choices were made simply because "ooh scary" but which makes no sense whatsoever. For example, the people in this story live in perpetual darkness, like have they even heard about lights? A lady was making some food in the oven in the dark. They plod about in complete darkness like they were vampires (except they're not, they're morons) so while apparently they can function, the audience can't really see what's going on, not that there's anything to see. Don't even get me started on the dialogue. Even the characters seem to have this undertone of, "omg this is so stupid, but I gotta keep a straight face while saying it". I walked out of the cinema wanting to punch a tree, kick a bear in the balls and chew on glass to distract me from the fact that I just got raped by this movie. And when you breathe a sigh of relief thinking the movie is at an end, a seemingly better movie only very tenuously connected to the first takes its place for no reason whatsoever than to burn through whatever budget was remaining probably.
