Didn't they already make a movie about a song that makes people commit suicide? Didn't we see it at the film festival a few years ago?
That's not ringing a bell, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if you were right. I do remember an episode of a TV show about a song that drove people crazy. I thought the show was Amazing Stories, but after some research I couldn't find an episode of the show that sounded like what I was thinking of. Maybe it was The Twilight Zone?
Found it! The Kovak Box. Your review and mine. The song was "Gloomy Sunday."
Oh, that one! I probably forgot that one on purpose. :)
that soda pop map is GOLD.
