The Sound (2017)

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

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!

I watched this movie' 'The Sound''. O my God this is totally amazing with full of drama. The movie is a "thinking person's horror film"The best this about this movie is this is not typical horror movie with knifes and flowing blood.so those who love to watch bloody type of horror movies this is not for them. This is supernatural recording of every scene. Every scene looks so natural.

The idea of an abandoned, haunted, subway station as a movie subject got my feelers twitching right away. Add an insane asylum to the mix and it's paranormal gold......except it isn't. Whoever cast Rose McGowan must have been having a real bad day. She plays the role of the ghost debunker like someone's holding a gun to her head - I've seen happier kids waiting for a spoonful of cod liver oil. If the role had gone to someone who was the least bit interested in the part this could have been quite a good chiller, the subject matter certainly deserved better. As it is the movie is, sadly, a real disappointment.

The Sound is a supernatural horror thriller in which Kelly Johanson (Rose McGowan) debunks myths about ghosts and the supernatural using measurements of low frequency sound waves. She reports her findings on her blog/website and invites people to recommend places which she should visit and prove that there are no ghosts. As a result she finds herself at an abandoned train station in Toronto where a woman committed suicide in the mid 1960s. And the plot thickens from there as Kelly is soon faced with apparitions haunting the abandoned station. Her sanity starts slipping and the question is whether she will manage to save herself and get out alive. Whilst the premise and the first third of the movie were relatively interesting the rest went downhill quickly. Or should that be slowly since the movie starts dragging on and the story becomes more convoluted and less believable. In the end it's hard to care what happens as the viewers have probably lost interest. The ending feels rushed and there is a scene with hundreds of moths buzzing and flying around the abandoned station. To my knowledge moths don't sound like an angry swarm of bees. That just seems to have been added to include an irrelevant jump scare. Or wake the audience. The acting is more or less okay but nothing special. The supporting actors (Christopher Lloyd and Stephen McHattie amongst others) are fine but are not given enough screen time to make an impact. Overall the movie ultimately fizzled out.
