Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

eloisebean First 10 minutes were promising. Leader character is out to prove ghosts aren't real, and gets contacted online about a haunted subway. The build up was promising, and then we get to the abandoned subway, where things take a nose dive. You'd think a dark abandoned underground subway, where a woman committed suicide would be at least entertaining, but it ends up being boring. This was such a waste of a set up. A talented writer and director would have made the most out of this, but it falls flat. Poor Rose wasn't given much to do, except stare at things, walk around, and tweet on her phone. FYI you don't have to hashtag every single word in your tweets! She has the exact same facial expression throughout. The dialogue is lifeless. In one scene rose's character rambles on and on about nothing, in run along sentences. It gets so mind numbing that you can see the look of complete boredom on the detective's face. Neither actor wants to be there, and are just waiting for their paycheck.

Andariel Halo This film didn't get off to a good start with its rather unusually amateurish style and tone at the start. But I didn't begrudge it that, I figure it would be fine... until it started having twitter hashtags and random words and phrases floating on screen when the main character, Kelly Johanssen, speaks them or types them in.Basically the whole movie has this irritation, with her live-tweeting her attempt to debunk a ghost in a haunted subway station in Canada. She relies on the theory that most ghost sightings are caused by low sound waves below the human ability to hear that causes vibrations in the eyes that cause people to see things in the edge of their vision. This is a real thing and it's very interesting and intriguing, and exactly none of it is in any way important or relevant to the plot here except to try to provide a thin veneer of false mystery as to whether the inevitable spoopy events that unfold are actually real ghosts, or just her suffering from the very same "hallucinations" she herself has relied upon to debunk prior ghost sightings. Somehow Kelly thinks the best way to tell if the station where the sound vibrations cause nosebleeds, hallucinations, and lightheadedness is actually haunted is to actually go down there and just sit down there for hours, suffering from nosebleeds, hallucinations, and lightheadedness. The vast majority of this film is basically that. She is directed there by an anonymous messenger online, and despite her prior repeated mentionings of hallucinations and the like, she foolishly falls for the hallucinations almost immediately and ends up calling the police to report a dead body which turns out not to actually be there. Before that, as well, she encounters a random jerkoff teenager who is just loitering around down there smoking, who happens to know about the legend of the station's haunting. Within moments I figured "This kid is probably a ghost or hallucination" and towards the end I was proven right. One of the cops, a detective, turns out to be the one who anonymously messaged her about the haunted station, and is stalking her, digging up old medical records that showed she was self-admitted into a psychiatric asylum, and then follows her into the station where he is pointlessly belligerent. His scenes with Kelly feel like they were very sloppily edited, or else badly written by someone who forgot to write down everything, because the detective guy is suspicious, shady, obnoxious, and belligerent for absolutely no reason, and at some point pulls a gun on her, threatening her to... do exactly what she's doing. He wants her to debunk that the place is haunted, and eventually reveals it was him who basically commissioned her to do it. because she's stupid, instead of saying "Yes, okay, this is exactly what I am doing and have been doing until you came down here and pulled a gun on me", he decides to needlessly agitate him by constantly asking "what if I can't debunk it?" which is exactly what you want to say to a delirious jibbering psychopath who has pulled a gun on you. Luckily, his role comes to an abrupt and incoherent end as he follows a ghosty girl into a room, and she barricades him in, only to suddenly remove the barricade and open it up yelling at him to get out of the room. He wasn't even aware he was being locked in before apparently getting killed or something. Christopher Lloyd inexplicably appears in the film to roam around and change the lights. He too is one of those miscellaneous background characters you suspect is actually a ghost within the first five minutes and they turn out to actually be a ghost at the end and he ends up serving no purpose in the film at all except to boost the movie. Meanwhile, expo-dumps have been repeatedly adding lots of pointless backstory, and at some point, despite the ghost supposedly being a woman covered in blood who jumped in front of a train in 1966, she is suddenly tracking a ghost girl named "Emily" with absolutely no connection to the base plot. This feels like something that was added in post-production or at the very last minute, with the "Lady in Red" stuff not edited out. It also serves to make for a pointless twist ending that does nothing and is almost completely unrelated to the story as a whole. At some point, they seem to have given up filming what they had, and filmed an entirely different movie and forgot to re-film or re-edit the first half.

tdino-27421 The Sound is a thriller that was a truly enjoyable experience to watch. While some thrillers tend to drag on forever, this one was the perfect length and had great movement throughout the plot. I was really interested in the concept of this film from the beginning, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The story follows main character Kelly, who works to debunk ghost sighting via sound waves. She measures the waves and uses the sound frequency to account for visual and auditory hallucinations that occur when her clients "see ghosts." Since this concept was introduced immediately, the film does an incredible job of keeping the viewer guessing what's real and what's not. I was hooked until the end to see the conclusion of her adventures to debunk her most complicated job yet. It definitely takes the viewers along for an intense and thrilling ride. The plot and subplot in this movie are very well executed, with good acting and visuals. For future viewers, i would definitely compare this movie to a Shutter Island type movie- it wasn't a classic gory, horror movie- it has more psychological thriller base. If you're interested in the supernatural, paranormal, science, and psychology, this is a movie you won't want to miss!

shadowfax73 The idea of an abandoned, haunted, subway station as a movie subject got my feelers twitching right away. Add an insane asylum to the mix and it's paranormal gold......except it isn't. Whoever cast Rose McGowan must have been having a real bad day. She plays the role of the ghost debunker like someone's holding a gun to her head - I've seen happier kids waiting for a spoonful of cod liver oil. If the role had gone to someone who was the least bit interested in the part this could have been quite a good chiller, the subject matter certainly deserved better. As it is the movie is, sadly, a real disappointment.
