1978
okay o
The film starts with a good old cricket match at a mental asylum and is about a conversation tim curry has with alan bates
the films about a sound engineer and his wife who have their home and relationship invaded by a black magician from australia (but who's english so relaxx)
I dont like giving anything away in reviews as, why the heck would i. the best bits are the most surprising in films as the plot unravels like natures fine tapestry of time. The film has very few locations though it uses it tooo great 'affect' such as the sound recording studio for dope sequences with keyboards and surface mics or the beach near the guys house. Also there is a lot of wiggy sounds in the film. im not sure if its because i was paying more attention as teh film is about soUND but yeah, its pretty good.
Also the acting is pretty good. John Hurt is convincing as a sound engineer geek and Alan Bates pretty much takes over the film as the aboriginal black magician on a walking holiday. Overall it's a good british horror film from the seventies really. The pacing can get a little slow but,
four death shouts out of five. if you like this movie then you'd also like blue blood, the bbc documentary 'alchemists of sound' and maybe brimstone and treacle.

I struggle finding stuff I kind of want to watch so when something comes up that sounds semi-interesting I try to get it. With the movies I like there's usually somebody who worked on it who worked on something else good, so it's helpful to know backgrounz for films sometimes?
otherwise i just talk to older people because old things know old things and the best stuff is from the seventies usually
