Writer-director Peter Strickland's dark thriller Berberian Sound Studio has revealed a dark, moody trailer that you can check out in the player below. Starring Toby Jones, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Susanna Cappellaro, Cosimo Fusco, Eugenia Caruso, the film takes place in 1976 and follows a mild-mannered British sound engineer named Gilderoy (Jones), who arrives in Rome to work on the post-synchronized soundtrack to "The Equestrian Vortex," a tale of witchcraft and murder set inside an all-girl riding academy.
But as Gilderoy begins to work on this unexpectedly terrifying project, it's his own mind that holds the real horrors. As the line between film and reality blurs, is Gilderoy working on a film - or in one? Berberian Sound Studio is slated to hit theaters in a limited release on June 14, the same day that it becomes available on VOD and iTunes.

The Stanley Film Festival, which will host its debut fest at the iconic and legendary Stanley Hotel in Colorado from May 2-5, has announced its official feature film line-up, with the Eli Roth-starring earthquake thriller Aftershock taking center stage as the fest’s closing night film.
Roth will be on hand to accept the Inaugural Visionary Award and take part in a Q&A after the film.
“Since his debut on the film festival scene with Cabin Fever in 2002, Eli Roth has become a leading force in the horror genre. Whether acting, producing, directing or writing – his many talents are what made titles like Hostel and Inglourious Basterds shine,” says Festival Director Jenny Bloom. “His body of work will set the Stanley Film Festival Visionary Award precedent high for years to come.”
The Stanley Film Festival is curated by Programming Director Landon Zakheim and programmer Michael Lerman, who selected films from 13 different countries,...

Berberian Sound Studio
Review by Andrew McArthur
Stars: Toby Jones, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Susanna Cappellaro, Cosimo Fusco, Layla Amir | Written and Directed by Peter Strickland
Director Peter Strickland (Katalin Varga) presents us with the truly unsettling look at the power of sound in his latest feature, the Toby Jones led, Berberian Sound Studio. Set in the 1970s, the film follows British sound technician, Gilderoy, as he works in Italy on a gruesome horror film. Soon Gilderoy’s work on this dark feature slowly begins to bleed into his everyday life.
Berberian Sound Studio is certainly not a horror film, instead more of a psychological thriller reminiscent of Hammer Films “Mini-Hitchcocks”. This completely absorbing and brooding drama manages to be unsettling, rather than scary. Strickland’s direction immediately emphasises a sense of foreboding, with the distinctive use of the sounds created in the studio capturing Gilderoy’s troubling mental state.

This is the Pure Movies review of Berberian Sound Studio, directed by Peter Strickland and starring Toby Jones, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Cosimo Fusco and Susanna Cappellaro. Written by David Hudson. It’s the early 1970s, and sheltered and unworldly sound engineer Gilderoy (Toby Jones) flees the safety of his mother’s house in Dorking, Surrey, to work on a gory horror film in Italy. He finds himself buried deep in a bunker-like recording studio, surrounded by screaming actresses, megalomaniac filmmakers, and sound technicians hacking away at watermelons to recreate the slicing of knives through flesh. Day after tiring day, he finds himself losing his grip on reality, unsure of what the film he’s working on is about, and whether he’ll ever have his expenses reimbursed and be allowed to escape.

But unbeknownst to her captors, she moves between the walls and crawlspaces of the seasoning house planning her escape. Psychological horror in the nerve-shredding Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski style but with an ultra-modern twist.
