Wow! Only three reviews for such a terrific movie. I'm shocked an dismayed that subtitles are such a turn-off.

LFO (an abbreviation for Low Frequency Oscillation) is wonderful, claustrophobic tale of a man who discovers the exact frequencies needed to hypnotize and ultimately control people (including himself). It was reminiscent of Sound of Noise (2010) in its oddness and its relationship with music (of a sort) as a means to telling a story.

(Almost) the entire movie takes place in Robert's house, and it's wonderful to see how such scenery can be used to great effect and actually add to the cold, emotionless claustrophobic feeling this movie exudes.

The things that Robert does are truly awful, but it's hard not to feel a certain glee as he never gets caught and his newfound superpowers make him omnipotent in a world where he was previously impotent.
