The Sound

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 .

I like to think of watching horror movies like going on first dates: Does it have a likable personality? Is the memory of this film going to stay with me till the next night? Is it something I can go back to watching and still enjoy?

With The Sound, the only thing I'm left with is the thought of what it could have been. I could not be disappointed if I didn't have somewhat high expectations for it. The title is sufficient to pique my interest. I would have been satisfied if this was about a particular creepy sound. So many horror movies rely on visuals that it would be very refreshing.

It starts out promising: a campy little story with likable faces. But you soon realize it runs far too long for the punches it packs, which are barely a handful. Your mind starts working overtime to entertain you where the movie fails to, which includes not only imagining how different scares could be built up where there aren't any, but also poking fun at the vague and rushed plot. All this makes the movie a disappointing watch.

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

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.

I would have liked to see this movie. Unfortunately, they budget didn't include lights and I probably missed most of the film because I couldn't see squat.

It started interestingly enough and had potential. (I will give it that much)

But in the end, it was probably better that I couldn't see much. The plot was pretty dumb, the effects were non-existent, and the only scary thing was the fact that someone spent money to produce this garbage.
