See the films the platforms disagree about most →A mild-mannered British sound engineer is hired to work on the audio post-production for an Italian horror film. Isolated in a dank studio, his job involves creating the gruesome sound effects—the screams, squelches, and crunches—for the disturbing visuals. As he becomes more immersed in the film's violent and misogynistic content, the line between the studio and the narrative begins to blur. He starts to experience a psychological breakdown, haunted by sounds and visions, unsure if the horror is on the screen or is now part of his reality.
