A Close To Perfect Horror Score
1 Mar 2012
There was a turning point in Marco Beltrami's career that I always maintained came around the time of The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada. Every score since then has captivated me, entertained me, moved me and has overall impressed me. Last year he showed us how a real horror score was done with Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark. Marco Beltrami does it again with this eerie and atmospheric score. With an album running time that clocks in at almost an hour we are given a rich experience.
I love the way Beltrami kicks this thing off. We get this great theme in the beginning then we tip-toe deeper and deeper into this ghostly world. While Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark was based on lullabies, here we are just at the mercy of a fantastic storyteller. Beltrami knows how to make us hold our breath, he knows how to make our spine tingle just slightly and he knows how to give us a little jolt without resorting to cliches. The mood that the music creates envelopes you as you listen. If you listen to this score on speakers and not headphones the music fills the room with a deepness. When I say that I mean that the music is not shallow; not only does it sound deep but you always feel as we're dancing around something bigger. Once we get into the final act we are greeted with screeching violins that rise and fall. Beltrami never does any cheap scares and always builds his tension so damn perfectly. It's a beautiful horror score to analyze. We take a plunge into the darkness towards the end and finally finish on "Arthur's Theme".
The score is structurally perfect and executed brilliantly. The creepy factory is there but like I said they aren't cheap scares. There's a deep weight to the score and a satisfying emotional undercurrent. Since Beltrami is scoring the character and not the plot we end up with a score that has power over the listener. You will get sucked into this one and you will enjoy every moment of it. I loved the instrumentation and the organic feel of the music, and I think that played a large role in how I took it in. This score is highly recommended. It's as close to a perfect horror score as you can get.
