Noise (2024)

Stylish and gritty but weird plot choices

Not really that unique of a premise but it does what it does best, fine quality cinematography that is stylish and gritty, then the insane sound design which really makes the movie standout at most of the deadly silent scenes. Just as brilliant as the technical aspect is, the storytelling though simply suggests otherwise. There are some really weird plot choices that will eventually make things go south, the ending is especially one tough pill to swallow, as it only poses more problems to an already tangled collection of plotlines, leaving no room for any resolution but only a subpar twist for its closing.

The Scariest Sound Is the Silence: An Infectious Cycle of Madness Masquerading as a Noise Complaint.

"The Noise" is a masterful, suffocating piece of atmospheric horror, rightfully earning a 9/10 rating. It brilliantly exploits the confined apartment setting, generating profound psychological dread and paranoia. The central concept—noise complaints—is far more than a simple plot device; it functions as a powerful social metaphor for community apathy and the tragic silence surrounding genuine mental distress. The film makes a stark commentary: people react with anger to sound rather than compassion. The narrative excels by establishing that the 'paranormal' element is not a typical haunting but a cyclical, highly contagious transfer of severe mental trauma and psychosis. The truly devastating power of the film lies in its conclusion: the heroine does not defeat the evil, but tragically internalizes the madness, ensuring the despairing cycle persists
