"An inventively grisly but unfocused horror."

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..."
