Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

dean2900 This has to be the longest 57 minutes ever. The story was right out of the Twilight Zone about a man who could here everything. He could hear the sounds that a fly made, the sounds of earthworms crawling underground, and these sounds slowly drive him to madness.There is ZERO suspense in this episode and it really is a waste of time.The surprise ending is dumb and a morality tale about grief and loss could have been more interesting in a thousand ways.This has to rank as one of the bottom 2 episodes.I have not given up on this series yet but I am afraid that the six episodes aired already this year might be enough to kill off any interest. Showtime would have been better of not airing this episode.

Vic_max This 1 hour movie is more like a 30 minute Twilite Zone episode. That is, it has an interesting premise, but is 30 minutes too long.The story revolves around an individual with an acute sense of hearing. He can hear all the sounds that normal people either filter out or can't hear - everything from drops of water to light bulbs and heartbeats. The story involves how this 'ability' becomes more and more a problem after the tragic loss of his son.The story gives a cool glimpse into this special individual's world, but at the expense of story. It just goes on and on and the story doesn't progress very much. After about 30 minutes, 40 minutes, etc. you're still waiting for things to happen.If you want a treat - watch the first 30 minutes, then come back for the last 5. If you're looking for a worthwhile 1 hour experience, skip this one.

wackassnucca I have faith in MOH again. At first i was a a little disappointed because i thought John Carpenter's Pro-Life was on this week, but i was pleasantly surprised by this gem of an episode. The concept of this episode doesn't really seem scary, but the remarkable use of music and sound effect really brings this episode to life. Also the feeling of hopelessness and despair sets up a a dark little world for protagonist Larry, who has developed and acute sense of hearing after the untimely death of his son. The amazing thing is that nothing happens for a good part of the episode, but the build up and tone used used makes up for it. The ending is pretty satisfying and this is a good episode that uses sound brilliantly. Very nice.

NunianVonFuch Sound. Thats the key subject of this episode. A lot of different sound techniques are used throughout to enhance and show the aural assault the protagonist is subjected to on a daily basis. He has ultra-sensitive hearing with such little things like knitting or kids skipping enhanced to a deafening level. Something is eating away at him and much like in The Machinist it starts to effect his everyday life.Thankfully Anderson does not ape his previous classic (too soon to call it a classic?) and the story wanders a different path. Wandering is the only fault with the episode though, spending too much time showing different sounds driving Chris Bauer's character mad rather than progressing the story. Still a similar dark atmosphere is created throughout and carries through to the last shot of the movie. Worth watching.
