* ValuesDissonance: Gilderoy is shocked by the violent content of the film, whilst everyone else has a completely blasé attitude to it. To a lesser extent, Gilderoy is completely ineffectual at getting his expenses paid because he's far too polite.

Part-psychological thriller and part-homage to cult Italian horror and the forgotten lore of analogue sound production, ''Berberian Sound Studio'' tells the story of Gilderoy, a mild-mannered English sound engineer who's contracted to work in Rome on the sound effects to an [[{{Giallo}} Italian horror film]]. However, he's more used to making gentle recordings of wildlife, and the relentlessly sexually violent soundtrack he's producing begins to have a profound effect on him.

* SurrealHorror: The movie itself, and possibly ''The Equestrian Vortex'' as well, which includes such locations as "the secret equestrian library" and "the poultry tunnel." Mostly it just comes across as a cross between Argento's ''Film/{{Suspiria}}'' and Bava's ''Film/BlackSunday''.

* TheSeventies: The setting. If anything, this film is even more drenched in the period than Toby Jones' other recent outing in ''Film/TinkerTailorSoldierSpy''

Hell Is That Noise is getting cleaned-up: it is no longer an Audience Reaction. Please enter examples in only if the characters within the work are frightened.


* HellIsThatNoise: Arguably where most of the horror comes from.

* SciFiGhetto: Horror variant, in-universe. Santini insists that ''The Equestrian Vortex'' "is not a horror film. It is a ''Santini'' film. Please do not call my film 'horror' again."
