"Charlie has the eccentric habit of making a clucking sound that signifies everything and nothing. It's part of the film's unsettling sound design, which composer Colin Stetson ratchets up to full creep mode with a soundtrack that freezes the heart." 查理有个古怪的习惯,就是会发出咕咕声,你既可以对它进行各种各样的解读,但同时又好像它本身没什么含义。这是影片中给人以不安感觉的声音设计其中一环,作曲家科林·斯泰森(Colin Stetson)用让人止住心跳的电影配乐,循序渐进,直至将恐惧感完全释放。 — Peter Howell, The Toronto Star, 8 June 2018
