Biography[]
Gilderoy, a petite, middle-paged Brit who still lives with his mother, is requested personally by director Giancarlo Santini in his already filmed movie, The Equestrian Vortex, allegedly based off a real production. The graphic scenes and thus the intense sound effects needed with the film reveals it's a giallo production, which Santini keeps vehemently denying out of person offense and obsession over the film.
Gilderoy assists in recording and arranging foley as well as the screams and sounds of hired actresses, Silvis and Claudia, improving the quality of the recordings even when working at home, as well as keeping in touch with his mother. But he stops providing his mother updates, his colleagues are aggressive with each other and him, the scenes get more horrific, and Silvia lividly reveals her sexual violation at the hands of Santini. She mangles the recordings she made before quitting and storming off. Gilderoy also can't get a refund for his flight once he submitted a plane ticket because apparently it never happened, nothing found on record. All this makes Gilderoy paranoid and abrasive himself, even at home when he's hearing bumps in the night.
Elisa is hired as new actress, and she's practically tortured with driving her up the wall in the sound effects they try to force out of her. With this and more altercations in the studio, Gilderoy feels like everyone's emulating the madness and destruction of the giallo. he even has a dream where he's in such a film, fluent in Italian like other present in it and crazily violent to fit the genre. The film ends with him contemplating how far he's crossed the line in a job he can't even say in the moment if he regrets or not.
