This week in movies you missed: You’ve seen the “art of horror.” Now hear the sound of horror.
What You Missed
Gilderoy (Toby Jones), a meek British sound engineer known for his work on nature and children’s programs, has been hired to mix a brutal Italian horror flick in the Dario Argento vein.
He’s way out of his depth at the Italian studio. The pompous producer (Cosimo Fusco) and lecherous director (Antonio Mancini) roll their eyes at Gilderoy’s shyness and squeamishness. The secretary gives him the runaround when he tries to get his expenses reimbursed. And he just can’t get used to the bearded Foley artists, known as Massimo and Massimo, who smash melons to approximate smashing heads.
Surrounded by the sounds of mayhem, Gilderoy starts to imagine himself the savior of a young actress doing ADR (Fatma Mohamed) who clashes with the producer over the volume of her screams.
