You can almost hear Wheatley cackling with glee at some of the movie’s most outlandish sequences, with Clint Mansell’s gorgeous, giallo-tinged score intertwining with Martin Pavey’s throbbing sound designs, like some vast sonic mycorrhiza. The result absolutely demands to be experienced on the biggest screen possible in a darkened auditorium with the sound turned up to 11, engulfing the viewer in its deliciously dark spell.
