Berberian Sound Studio

Caught this last night on Netflix. Interesting concept, maybe a little too much on the artsy/abstract side for some people (including me a bit), but as a homage to Italian/British 60s/70s horror I loved it.

Also, since so much of the horror genre is based on sound and music it was fantastic to see a horror film go into so much detail into the technical aspects of recording and sound editing.

Love love love this movie. Very Polanski-esque, and loved the nod to Italian Giallo films. I've watched it three times now.

just bought the soundtrack today lots of weird 70s sounding stuff on the ghost box label.

VERY - great point! I especially kept thinking of The Tenant, because both characters were foreign and excluded from everyone else. I always love when a horror movie can find new basic psychological fears to exploit - rather than just be about survival.

Interesting, I might have to check this out.

It's weird, because although one of my favorite '70s horror movies is set in Italy ("Don't Look Now") and I'm a big fan of '70s Italian prog rock (which is somewhat associated with the genre), I'm not really a big giallo fan. Just too gory for me, usually.

Speaking of Ghost Box, I really like how they use some of those freaky occult-themed UK '70s children's shows as a point of inspiration. I'm a big fan of those things (Children of the Stones, Sky, Raven, etc.).

Good call on "Don't Look Now" - another British/Italian horror. This movie is a lot more like that than a Giallo movie. They reference gore, but you never see it.

Exactly. And especially the end, when our boy switches identity, to a point.

If you wanna see "modern Giallo" check out The Strange Colour of Your Bodies Tears. It's a bit tedious at times, but interesting enough to warrant a viewing.
