Cast: Toby Jones, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Cosimo Fusco
A sound engineer's work for an Italian horror studio becomes a terrifying case of life imitating art.
Toby Jones plays the role of the English Sound Engineer, Gilderoy, who expected to be working on a film about horses but ends up doing an Italian giallo film, Equestrian Vortex. We are not shown the visuals of the film but the horror is conveyed by the sounds created using vegetables and screams. Gilderoy is gradually sucked into the film he is working on in a case of life imitating art. The film's last act turns it into a mindfuck which sits very well with me. The horror aspects might have been more pronounced if I had seen it on a big screen. As it is it is a well made mind-bender.
The film was very well received by the critics.
