The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Berberian Sound Studio (2012)

Starring: Toby Jones
Director: Peter Strickland

Premise:
A sound engineer working on an Italian horror movie starts to think real life and movies blend together.

My Take:
There is a lot to love about the movie. It is filmed beautifully. The sound is amazing and adds to the atmospheric depth. The cast is great too. The story... well kind of the typical Italian Giallo film where it's style over logic and substance. And sometimes that is fine with me.

Rating: So Good
