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.
