SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

PodBill Just what I expected

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

wrlang Desolation Sound is about two longtime friends that have a falling out. The friend made out with the husband, the wife made out with the constable, the daughter sleep walks, and the local bike riding village idiot is an ex-con. As Joy's husband (Tracey) takes of for a few weeks in Alaska on a picture shoot, Beals arrives to visit her blood girl friend Joy at desolation sound and engages in death by friend. Only Joy doesn't get it at first so she hides the murder in her rose garden with the help of local idiot Bluteau, changes her hair color, and sleeps with the local constable (Begley). When the constable and the husband find out about the death they take the path less chosen. Technically a pretty good film, but it moves a little too slow.

tweetiechick620 Well II just saw this movie last night, but not for the first time but there's this song that I would really like to know what it is called. It comes on around the time after she goes to yoga and she puts the wine glass to her lips. It has a creepy feel type of rhythm but it also has piano keys. And I believe it starts out "Remember me when you write at night", or something along th lines of that, can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it. This was an incredibly good movie and that song made it even better in my opinion, but maybe I just like it because it sounds depressing and I love depressing music. It seems that this song would relate to me, my life, I lost the love of my life, not in death but in my heart, he hates me and this song helps.

seenalot I want to see this movie again. So many details. Great to see Jennifer Beals and Lothaire Bluteau. The acting is really, really good. Nothing is over stated. The puppets were dark and shadowy. This movie has a lot of depth and psychological intrigue. The film makers took me on a scary ride. Weird to see Ed Begley Jr. in a movie like this but oddly enough he worked in the part of the cop. His wife "Kathy" (who also wrote the movie) was good but we needed to know more about her. The location was beautiful. Too bad we didn't get to see more of the area. The story was not so very original but it was surprising how quickly they sucked me in, I was really scared for "Laurel" This story was creepy but there was something so very beautiful about it all at the same time.

sophybliss Not the characters, mind you, the movie! Apparently the screenwriter (Glynis Davies, who appears as "Kathy")had several ideas of what was going on, but never really chose one to focus on. First we meet Laurel, Michael & Margaret Elliot. Laurel is scattered, nervous, seems to have something going on, but what is it....we never find out. Elizabeth sleepwalks, even venturing out on the roof (aha! important plot contrivance!), so maybe that's the focus, but no....not really. Michael is a photographer conveniently sent away on a six week assignment, just as Laurel's sexy "friend" Elizabeth (Jennifer Beals) shows up. He hangs around just long enough to establish that he and Elizabeth have had an affair, she smolders at him, he says "no" unconvincingly, then he's gone until the end of the movie. There seems to be more back story with this family, but it's never revealed.Desolation Sound gives off some spooky vibes in the beginning. There's a somewhat pathetic ex-addict guy who lives in a trailer,is Margaret's playmate (!!) and makes incredibly creepy puppets. After Elizabeth meets her fate, he steals some of her hair & makes a witchy looking puppet of her. Could Elizabeth's spirit be inhabiting Laurel, who dyes her hair black (like Elizabeth), starts smoking (ditto), becomes a slob (she was a neat freak before, which Elizabeth made fun of), and begins making bizarre witchy drawings??? She even has a quickie with the local cop (also Elizabeth-like). Laurel and Elizabeth made a blood pact! O-o-o-o, Could Laurel be possessed??? Nah, she's just weird apparently.This movie tries to be many things and ends up being a confused mush of nothingness. The acting isn't very good, there are lots of plot points left hanging (why DOES Laurel see the cop car after she dumps Elizabeth's suitcase in the lake???) and in the end there isn't a real resolution, just a convenient diary entry that gets Laurel off the hook. Bleah, give me "Diabolique" (1955 version, please) any day over this trash!!
