When the Brits make a horror movie, they make the best as with The Sonata. It's an intelligent movie filled with a gripping mystery surrounding a sonata written by a strange and reclusive man.
Rutget Hauer and Freya Tingley put in a great performance as does Simon Abkarian. The story itself about a man seeking to summon the devil with music created from the sounds of tortured children is a chilling one indeed. You never see the any real violence or gore, but the sounds and the torture chamber hidden in an old disused chapel provides horror enough.
This is a film that relies on mood, settings and atmosphere to create a frightening movie. The music is also a treat as well.
I highly recommend anyone that likes a good horror movie to check this one out.
