Thriller. Horror Alexis recovered her hearing during the brutal murder of her family when she was ten. The visceral experience awakened synesthetic abilities in her and started her on an orphaned path of self-discovery through the healing music of brutal violence. She goes on to pursue a career teaching and experimenting to find new sounds.

	Media	Author	Review
		Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa	"A cross between a character study and a gory, supernatural horror movie (...) With an obviously low budget, the film turns out to be accomplished mostly thanks to solid practical visual effects"
		Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting	"[It] boasts a strong lead performance from Brown and has quite a few impressive kill scenes, which makes it all the more frustrating that it chooses to tackle its subject matter on a strictly surface level (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Pramit Chatterjee Mashable	2If you’re hooked on serial killer movies, you should definitely watch Sound of Violence. It has its fair share of problems. But there’s a lot of good in it to appreciate"
		Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"While the narrative and characters fail to gel, though, the genre elements and Noyer’s craftsmanship shine through."
		Kristy Puchko rogerebert.com	"Like the catchy song caught in your head long after a concert's ended, 'Sound of Violence' will stick with you. "
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"The spectacularly gruesome and grotesquely elaborate murder scenes do ample justice to even the most revered of its slasher forebears, but the procedural elements feel stilted"
		Andrew Mack Screen Anarchy	"There is an imbalance that we have to address here. It's that everything outside of Alexis' quest for sounds and her relationship with Marie feel near to afterthoughts"
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"'Sound of Violence' boasts perhaps the greatest giallo premise that Dario Argento never dreamed up. It’s just a shame that Noyer decides that it isn’t enough."
