Dissonance

About This Movie

Dissonance (2021) dives into a haunting exploration of sound and reality. The atmosphere is deeply unsettling, as Esra, a voice actor, becomes increasingly enveloped in the audio landscape she creates. The pacing is intentionally slow, allowing tension to build as the lines between her work and home life blur. It's the practical effects that stand out—subtle distortions in sound and image that enhance the eerie feeling. While the director may be lesser-known, the film’s distinct take on the horror genre is fascinating. It evokes a kind of voyeuristic unease that lingers long after the credits roll. The performances, particularly Esra's, carry a raw authenticity that draws you into her spiraling descent.
