Phil Hoad Guardian 08/24/2021
3/5
Remains absolutely faithful to giallo tradition, in taking a crass and borderline ludicrous premise and pushing it to lurid ends. Go to Full Review

The potential is here, but with Sound of Violence, the blood only runs so deep. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Alex Noyer is out to shock the hell out of you and he does just that with this hardcore horror outing, which is as original as it is gory. Go to Full Review
John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot Jul 19
The filmmaker tells his story almost as if to say that music is literal life. It can speak to you, possess a heartbeat. Go to Full Review

4/5
Even when it feels like it’s about to fly off the rails, Noyer’s smart direction and a tender performance from Brown ground it in place. There are the beginnings of a grand career at work here. Go to Full Review
Soham Gadre Vague Visages 01/09/2024
Sound of Violence’s nonchalant depictions of violence, which occur with such obfuscation due to uncoordinated quick-cut editing and color filters, render it a fangless drama with un-engaging sequences of killing and torture. Go to Full Review

Avindu G 01/20/2023 A brand new world of an ecstatic existence that feeds on veils of viewer's reality. Movie travles to the darkest corners of a broken mind helpless and dependent on sparks of stimuli. Though Jasmine's performance was adequate in portraying the killer ecstasy it lacked emotions of insanity or maybe the story was cut short too early. Alexa's character seemed hardly capable to equip advanced techniques too. Beside such flaws it's a great attempt to literally paint a picture of what make the Alexas tick. Therefore in that regard Sound of Violence is a special project that has achieved mapping a special mind. See more 09/26/2022 Criminally dumb & unintentionally humorous. To begin, I'm not sure what message was trying to be relayed to the viewer through a paper-thin story, but the film had all the trappings of bad B-movies with moronic character choices. Just with more recent technological advances. See more brad p 07/16/2022 ‘Sound of Violence' Has a Muddled Message About Trauma See more 01/24/2022 Recommended. Was a good escape.
