SXSW-hosted horror about Alexis, a deaf girl who recovers her hearing and develops synaesthesia during the brutal murder of her family. As an adult, Alexis is a musician, fascinated with the sound of human pain and willing to do anything to record it.

Alexis (Jasmin Savoy Brown, Yellowjackets), develops a unique musical style, sampling visceral sounds and mixing them into her songs. When faced with the prospect of losing her hearing again, she embarks on a gruesome mission to create her final masterpiece.

Co-starring Lili Simmons (Banshee), Sound of Violence is the feature debut of director Alex Noyer, and premiered worldwide at SXSW Online in 2021.

"An inventively grisly but unfocused horror."

Variety

"The overall scenario doesn’t bear much scrutiny... the script flounders in making Alexis’s transition to crazed maverick plausible... But there are audible strains of mad genius here all the same."

—

The Guardian

"Sound of Violence will stick with you."

RogerEbert.com

"Sound of Violence boasts a strong lead performance from Brown and has quite a few impressive kill scenes, which makes it all the more frustrating that it chooses to tackle its subject matter on a strictly surface level."

—

Bloody Disgusting

"Brown makes a cold-blooded killer sympathetic, which is no easy feat, and the editing and sound design are flawless. Too bad the ending feels so rushed and is somewhat confusing..."
