Overview
Jack Terry is a master sound recordist who works on grade-B horror movies. Late one evening, he is recording sounds for use in his movies when he hears something unexpected through his sound equipment and records it. Curiosity gets the better of him when the media become involved, and he begins to unravel the pieces of a nefarious conspiracy.

Viewing Notes
Great to revisit this movie that I hadn’t seen since the eighties! Another masterpiece by De Palma, with some iconic cinematography and amazing sound design. I really need to own this on Blu and re-watch again when I have my complete home theatre set up again so that I can truly appreciate the excellent audio.
Watching this makes me want to revisit Berberian Sound Studio again.
