Earwax

About This Movie

So, 'Earwax' is quite the peculiar mix, really. It blends comedy and horror in a way that feels a bit off-kilter, which I appreciate. The premise revolves around this sound designer who loses hearing in one ear, and honestly, it spirals into some wild territory. The pacing is interesting—slow at times, but it builds tension through this almost palpable silence. The practical effects are a standout, especially when he tries to remedy his situation, leading to some genuinely uncomfortable moments. The performances are solid, too; you can feel the layers of frustration and desperation. It’s distinctive for its take on sound and silence, making you rethink how you perceive both. Just a unique experience overall.
