Painfully Sensitive Senses

Generally speaking, I am a great fan of the "Masters Of Horror" series, but I have to add that the episodes differ immensely in quality. The greatest episodes were contributed by Horror Masters Takashi Miike ("Imprint"), Dario Argento ("Jenifer", "Pelts"), John Carpenter ("Cigarette Burns") and Stuart Gordon ("The Black Cat") whereas others were mediocre, or, as "The V-Word" and "We All Scream For Ice Cream", plain bad. This episode "Sounds Like", which was delivered by Brad Anderson, director of "The Machinist", is not one of the greatest hours of MoH, but it is doubtlessly a more than decent episode. Chris Bauer plays Larry Pearce, a guy working in a call-center for computer problems, who was struck by fate with an extremely sensitive sense of hearing. The grief over the loss of his son has only increased his hearing, which makes him struggle with insanity... "Sounds Like" is original and innovative, but, as far as I am concerned, it just isn't terribly suspenseful. Bauer is an excellent actor, and ideal for superficially square characters with borderline personalities. It is doubtlessly Bauer's great performance which is the best aspect of the episode. Overall, "Sounds Like" is not really scary, but it is original and shouldn't be missed by "Masters of Horror" fans.
