Sound of Violence – Watch the trailer for new synesthetic slasher movie

Alexis (Jasmin Savoy Brown), a sound engineer, helps an aspiring musician, Josh, win the drum machine of his dreams in a competition in a mall. She mentors him and helps him find his groove to compose the winning beat. Once he submits his creation, it triggers a chain reaction revealing the competition booth to be a gruesome contraption. Through Josh’s new beat and a horrific death, Alexis’ creative design comes to fruition directing the macabre music she envisioned.

Written and directed by Alex Noyer, Sound of Violence stars Jasmin Savoy Brown (Scream revival, The Leftovers), Lili Simmons (Ray Donovan, Banshee, Bone Tomahawk), James Jagger (Vinyl, The Outpost) and Tessa Munro (S.W.A.T.).

The film makes its world premiere at this year’s SXSW Film Festival in March.

Gravitas will release the film in US cinemas and on demand on May 21.
