For someone who constantly pays attention to sound design and score while watching films, I was genuinely surprised at how impactful the work of Omri Anghel was while viewing Empathy, Inc. Director Yedidya Gorsetman's sci-fi/thriller film about greed and technology gone wrong is not only a great watch for any sci-fi and thriller fans, but also for lovers of film score and sound design. While lesser films might opt to have a sound design that has high pitch noises in order to evoke a quick jump in the viewer, Empathy, Inc. sounds designer Omri Anghel chose to take a different approach. Throughout the film, there are suspenseful moments where Anghel decided to have no sound at all, which only added to the intensity of those sequences and the film overall. The score also helped add suspense, mystery, and intrigue to the overarching story told by screenwriters Yedidya Gorsetman and Mark Leidner, so for any fans of sci-fi/thrillers, or anyone interested in sound design, Empathy, Inc. is a film I'd recommend you keep an eye on.
