A nice addition to a fantastic film.
He develops a closeness with the material, fills you with the good kind of chills... it starts out very innocently, like a children's fairy tale, and then you feel ghostly spirits walking in the door in the first track. Kindly spirits, vaguely unsettled in a Disney's Haunted Mansion way. The second track begins to peek around corners, behind the forbidden doors (also the music in the film's trailer).
There is an old heart within the frights that delights and sorrows the soul, that sees light to counteract the darkness of the film. Sounds silly, but it is a beautiful, atmospheric score that moves through the house, explores the rooms and clings to the storyline like the sheets on the old furniture. Soft, foreboding, and deserved of tinkles of ghost's feet upon the floor.
Something to be said about the "stingers", however - the thing that Amenabar does, and does so well, is placing them. First, one sees the event, in the movie, and then hears the music, which only serves to heighten the paranoia .. and further influence the music. The only reason I do not give this score five stars is because, upon listening, it gets slightly repetitive. It's not something I can just pop in the CD player and listen to for an hour - I have to be in just the right mood. It seems only congruent to the film structure, and in places feels too minimalist for pleasure listening. But if you're an enthusiast of the film, by all means, snatch it up!
