Viewing Notes
This ode to 1970s era Italian Giallo was my second film of the Stanley Film Festival and I enjoyed the hell out of it! I love sound design, experimental sound, industrial and electronic music, so it’s easy to see (hear?) why I’d like this so much. Discovering that Broadcast did the soundtrack and that it included songs from Nurse With Wound only solidified my love for this film.
Having said that, it’s certainly not for everyone. The horror is psychological and the film is more disturbing than it is horrific.
