Yo spook, got one for you.
We love the INSIDIOUS series here, if just for how they play with the expected 'beats' of scare placement & visual Easter eggs.
Just rented & wrapped the latest, The Last Key, and I didn't know who scored it. Score has a vaguely Shore-Se7en type sound.
I was surprised it has a mostly tonal, certainly less sound designy score, and absence of f'ing clangy anvil scare jumps....by Bishara, which I didn't expect, based on the shift in sounds.
So maybe everything's not lost...I won't run out & buy a cd, but it was certainly a noticable, welcome score.
Cheers!
Sean

I enjoyed the movie, but yes both film and score was full of horror film cliches. You know, lights go dark, suddenly light comes on to reveal demon face to high pitched music shriek.
What I liked about the film is that there's lots of unresolved numbers and symbols that keep showing up that suddenly make sense at the end, except you're not sure if they all got resolved and you're left wondering about one or two of them.
But yes, the actual scares and shocks are all cliche.
And whilst the music was also rich in scare and shock cliche's, there were some quite melodic bits apart from that, which seemed almost Barryesque to be honest. I'm not moved enough to buy the CD though.
Cheers

Cheers Sean...love the INSIDIOUS scores as well. Sadly it seems THE LAST KEY isn’t getting a score release. Shame as the others have. Horror scoring is a strange thing to admit to liking as most folk think, ‘why would you listen to that weird stuff outside the movie? Not really sure I actually know the answer but I guess I know what I like and a good score in this genre works for me every bit as say Star Wars for most folk.

Saw this last night, but was hugely disappointed by it.
Just the usual BlumHouse shocks and shrieks. BORING!!
I found the whole production to be very amateurish. Most ITV/BBC TV drama productions look and feel better than this.
And the three tales/case studies were not very original or convincing to me, let alone frightening.
Add to that a terrible third act reveal/rug-pull that cheapens the whole plot, creates storyline confusion and barely makes any sense.
I don't know how it worked on stage, in the original play, but on film, it didn't work for me at all.
It's put me off horror films for quite a while now.
I fell for all the stellar pre-publicity raves (by the usual UK film boys club/mates brigade), so maybe I went in with too-high expectations, but that didn't overall alter my actual experience of the viewing of the film.
I did notice the music a few times, but it's not something I'd want to listen to again.
DUD of the year so far for me.

Aww..sorry to read that Kev. I often agree with your thoughts on this Board. I know it hit a lot of cliches but i felt overall it was enjoyable..not that scary though but I find I'm keen to watch it again so thats got t be a good thing.. I'm loving the music on the cd...even if its just for the final 'dark waltz' style tracks. I'm off to A QUIET PLACE tonight so looking forward to it.
