Drumming in the Ears

About This Movie

Drumming in the Ears is an intriguing exploration of psychological tension. The sound design is particularly unsettling; that high-pitched noise gnaws at you just as it does at the protagonist. It's fascinating how the film captures her descent into madness while contrasting it with the indifference of those around her. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which really immerses you in her claustrophobic reality. The practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, heightening the overall disquiet. Performances, though not widely known, are raw and authentic, drawing the viewer into her unraveling psyche. It’s a distinctive take on the theme of isolation, and the sound becomes a character in its own right, leaving a lingering echo long after the credits roll.
