motorharpA Nic Cage movie based on a Lovecraft short story, this was in turns creepy, scary, beautiful, and unpredictable1. I was really excited to see Colin Stetson's name pop up right away as the music credit, and that did not disappoint2. My friend said she was wavering between thinking the sound design was a little too much and just right. This movie was an experience. And definitely horror.
1 I'm assuming it's unpredictable. I haven't read the short story, so I don't know how close an adaptation it is. I'm assuming HP Lovecraft didn't write about smart phones.
2 His 2011 album History of Warfare Vol. 2 has stuck in my mind since it's release. He plays bass saxophone. The sounds and layers he gets out of that instrument are amazing.
