: Well, I got sound-mixed out of a movie today. I went to see "Strange Darling", and what I saw of it was interesting, but...
...the sound mixing and the music is, for my ears and neurology, oppressive, and I have never ever had that happen before. I lasted about 20mins. or so. I'll wait for it to be on streaming. That said...
As stylish as it looked, it's definitely one of the latest crop of horror films that kinda seem to be copying the visuals of Fede Alvarez.
: The movie's shot by Giovanni Ribisi, who's a tremendous actor and a great cinematographer, but it's hard, for me at least, to not see how incredibly alike the framing and all of the movie is to many other recents. That said, it's lit exponentially better, at least to my eyes. Additionally, it was totally shot on 35mm, and you can tell, and it's beautiful.
What got me is the damned sound design. I mean damn.
