Among the climbers is Sean (Marc Hills), whose grandfather made an ill-fated attempt 63 years earlier. During the group's ascent, they come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival hundreds of feet above the ground.

All promise and little follow-through, “The Sound” prepares viewers for action scenes that are eventually too broken up, both visually and dramatically, by underwhelming anecdotes and overcompensating lingo.

Rated: 1/4

Heaven of Horror

THE SOUND is a new horror movie with a rock climbing plot. It even features some iconic real-life climbers. Unfortunately, the focus on climbing does take up too much time and reveals a weak horror story.

Rated: 2/5

The Sound is a frustrating endeavor, keeping its interesting ideas just out of reach atop a mountain of dialogue.

MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)

A horror movie situated on a rock face initially felt like it could be quite interesting, but The Sound felt like it undercut the inherent tension at every turn.

Rated: 2/5

A film meant to be turned down or turned off, The Sound is nothing more than a montonous background noise when it isn't scraping its crude supernatural narrative over an unremarkable precipice, both literally and figuratively.

Rated: .5/5

By the halfway point, it’s clear the film has no story to tell. It’s an overly long chore of bad green screen climbing shots and endless close-ups of terrified faces.

Well, it's a movie. I don't think they were trying to make a B-roll horror film, but they nailed it. Confusing plot, bad acting (except Fichtner) and just kind of odd. Worth the watch party with your climbing friends. Also, the point of most movies is to be entertaining, and this is that. Maybe for the wrong reasons.

The movie just lacked any real connection to the characters to make you care enough about their fates. The story didnt give enough attention to detail to draw you in. It was a hard watch do not recommend.

ummmmm, there is no sound, the indians and the climbers don't know what they're talking about. the CIA could just land on top of the mountain and collect the "evil" power rock. i don't know what this was about but the girls are appealing in their mid-ness so......watch or don't watch?

I couldn’t believe how void of anything this movie was with such an intriguing and promising premise. The movie looked like it was made with a few bucks and we either got the most cliché scenes in the crappiest way possible, or nothing at all.🍀
