<blockquote>"2022 was a stellar year for experimental horror. I’m adding Johannes Grenzfurthner’s brazen and deeply disturbing film to the year’s best formbusters. The narrator is a nameless young gay man whose face we never see. We know little about him, other than he’s a recluse and is tortured by an increasingly debilitating tinnitus-like hearing impairment. As he slowly plummets into paranoia, his dialogue ricochets between meandering rants and sadistic invective. His diminished psychological state is mirrored in the film’s whiplash-inducing cuts — from his feet to audiology textbooks to close-ups of slugs — that almost never stop. It’s no spoiler to say the film ends in shocking stillness." <i>(The New York Times; Top-5 horror films 2022)</i></blockquote> | |||
