Synopsis
Berberian Sound Studio (2012) is a British psychological horror film directed by Peter Strickland — watch online on iFILM. Toby Jones plays Gilderoy, a reserved sound engineer whose work has been limited to nature documentaries.
Set in 1970s Italy, the film follows Gilderoy after he's hired by an Italian production company to create sound effects for their latest giallo picture. He's never worked on horror before. The job involves recording screams, slicing vegetables to simulate flesh wounds, and layering noise into something that sounds like pain. As the sessions drag on, the gap between the sounds he's making and the thoughts inside his head stops being a gap at all.
Strickland builds dread entirely through audio and editing — the horror film playing on the studio monitor is never shown. What the audience gets instead is a man slowly coming apart inside a room full of equipment he understands completely and a situation he can't process at all. Stream Berberian Sound Studio (2012) online on iFILM.
