Conducting a series of experiments in his makeshift home-lab, a skeptic IT worker tries to cure his harrowing hearing impairment. But where will his research lead him? "Masking Threshold" combines a chamber play, a scientific procedural, an unpacking video, and a DIY YouTube channel while suggesting endless vistas of existential pain and decay. Glimpse the world of the nameless protagonist in this eldritch tale, which is by no means for the faint of heart.

Gay dude with agoraphobia does weird experiments in his house. Me too twin, me too.

Yes, the millennialisms are doing a lot, but nothing prepared me for the psychological horror of seeing a CVS receipt from my actual neighborhood or the surprise appearance of Main St., Apopka. I felt seen and I hated it.

“Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people” LOL

Okay ngl this started out a bit pretentious for my liking BUT I’m so glad I stuck with it bc the ending HOLY SHIT. It did take a while to get to the shocking part and i honestly felt like i was watching a real documentary. The concept and filming style was cool and honestly I learned a lot. I think I’d go crazy too if I had tinnitus

Happy pride, this is fucking nuts. Sloooooowwwww burn with an extremely quick escalation at the end. Gore out the wazoo and engaging sound design. I won’t be watching again or recommending thank you so much
