Although made in Spain this is not a typical European horror movie of its time, but something in the tradition of American monster movies of the Fifties.
Some treasure seekers awaken an invisible monster which proceeds to kill them one by one. If you have seen a few movies of this kind, you know what to expect, even though two or three sequences achieve a little more suspense and atmosphere than the relatively unspectacular rest of the film would let you hope for.
Most interesting about Sound of Horror is the appearance of a very young looking Soledad Miranda a few years before becoming Jess Franco's muse. Not that the movie does anything interesting with her besides of a strange little dancing scene, but the presence of someone who is actually charismatic doesn't hurt it either.
