10 Modern Movie Soundtracks That Are Better Than The Film
10. It Follows
Just about every review of It Follows mentioned the movie's score in some way, and for good reason. It's for sure one of the most memorable aspects of an already excellent horror film.
The film itself is very stylistic and clearly inspired by horror films of the late '70s and early '80s, in particular Halloween. This excellent synth music from Disasterpiece becomes a pretty important element of that style. It's great to listen to by itself, but it's also creepy as hell in conjunction with the film.
The opening track, which plays over a character being chased by an unknown force, is crazy and intense, and a great way of getting us into the terror of the movie right away. We also have this track, the movie's main theme, which helps establish the tone and style, conjuring up images of Halloween. It's that feeling of a quiet, suburban town where things are about to get out of control. It's both kind of nice and relaxing but also subtly creepy. Something is definitely off about this town, and we're about to find out what.
