1976: A timid British sound engineer (the superb Toby Jones) arrives in Italy to work well outside of his comfort zone on a mysterious giallo picture, mixing blood-curdling screams with the grotesque sounds of hacked vegetables. Daringly original and masterfully constructed, this inspired homage to the likes of Mario Bava and Dario Argento, also recalls the claustrophobia of Brian De Palma’s Blow Out in its audacious celebration of the minutiae of sound design.
