Soundtrack to Your Escape

Paltry death metal references aside, I’m a firm believer that a score, or soundtrack, or even simple background music can imbue in a horror film a level of fear that would otherwise not be present had the score been, say, relegated to stock suspense music found all too often in every God damned horror film released today. Being that I’m a huge fan of minimalism in horror – from the script, the dialogue, and especially the music – I’m perfectly comfortable with a slow build up of tension through excellent characters accompanied by a few lingering piano notes. This is one of the reasons I find Session 9 to be so effective.

All that unnecessary lead in notwithstanding, the video below contains the final song from Dog Fashion Disco’s climactic final album Adultery. Their instrumentals and orchestration, both bombastic and incredibly creepy, belong in a horror film.

The trailer for [REC]2 is popping up everywhere. What’s one more to inform people of the successor to one of the best horror films in horror memory?
