The Sound (2017)
5/10
Weak horror movie
18 October 2017
I'm kind of tired of looking for good horror movies. The Sound came to me mostly sight unseen, to which the title intrigued me and I intuited it as a horror movie. ' Mostly set in the darkness of an abandoned subway station in Canada, one is puzzled by how intricate an abandoned subway station can be in Canada. Nevertheless, it is literally a dark movie.

Credibility is stretched by how heavily the heroine's career is supported by social media, how unlikely it is that she is led to the subway ghost story by the detective, and by how stingy the film is with the shocks and spooky reveals. It does not make for a good horror film.

Also, the hook of "The Sound" as a major plot device to drive the movie along is kinda weak, as is the denouement at the end.
