The Sound

As soon as Rose McGowan (the central character) enters the lower level of a Toronto subway station, the film sinks lower than the station could ever sink. Stink rhymes with sink. This film is a boring, confusing mish-mash that never makes much sense. The scariest part of the movie is the ending, which is a set up for a sequel! Terrifying!

This has been done over and over... however it had promise the first 12 minutes...then dropped... flopped and trashed...just like the awful wig Rose wears in the movie

The Sound otherwise known as Paranormal: White Noise is a dreadful ghost themed horror.

Starring Rose McGowen, the excellent career villain Michael Eklund and industry legend Christopher Lloyd it tells the story of a supernatural debunker who finds more than she expected on her latest case.

The moody dark setting is great and was rather unexpected, but that's where the redeeming qualities both begin and end.

The plot quickly falls into the realms of stupidity, cliched unadulterated stupidity. You know what's worse than a stupid plot? A stupid plot that is riddled with plot holes, inconsistencies and unanswered questions.

I've seen some poor horrors lately but The Sound truly takes the title as the worst. With Lloyds minimal screen time, all the questions regarding Eklunds place in the film and McGowans botox being so excessive she's unable to shift facial expression throughout it's made that much worse.

This is a sound not worth hearing.

The Good:

Decent setting

Lloyd and Eklund

The Bad:

Plot holes

Incredibly boring

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Christopher Lloyd must be doing a Robert Englund and be paying back to the industry to agree to do a film like this

With those new lips McGowan has the acting range of Kristen Stewart

I'd love to do that job, professional debunker!

This film is truly boring to watch. It so so boring that I forgot the title of it by the time it ended.

It is very rare there are no reasons to watch a film - even the awful ones - but this is one that has nothing going for it at all - not even anything amusingly awful. It is that bland.

The acting is exceedingly boring - apart from a brief appearance by Christopher Lloyd - which even then was bland because of the character he plays.

There were so many fundamental errors in what little relief from the tedium that it just make's one's brain uncreative as it goes in to 'can't be bothered' mode..

Really, no exaggeration, you would be more entertained by watching a gold fish swim around in it's bowl fro an hour. Even if someone were to describe the film from beginning to end there wouldn't be any spoilers .

It had good atmosphere and the situation was nice and creepy, but then Rose McGowan starts ignorant social media hashtags as she progresses through the story which made me think it was a millennial "horror" movie. Before halfway through the movie, it still had me kinda interested, even with the millennial hashtag stuff. Then this cop shows up, his acting was all keeping one eye almost closed with an intense look his whole time on screen.

It really started hard down hill after this guy shows up. Rose McGowan's wooden acting husband did not help. That guy could not act his way out of a wet paper bag. I have seen better acting in high school plays. Anyway. Around 1/3 way through the movie Christopher Lloyd shows up. I had hope he could help this movie, but basically, he does cameos. A total of like 5-7 minutes of screen time. Then the twist at the end and the ending were just stupid.

For sure not the worst movie I have ever seen, but just not good.
