It pounds, pounds, pounds away like most of the finest horror scores do – occasionally offering relief, such as the more gentle theme which dominates the second cue, “Sad Memories”, being used effectively to provide breathing room when it’s needed through the score – and to great effect in the climactic “Evil Tango”.

The title of the opening cue – “I’ll Rip Your Soul Out” – gives you an idea of Baños’s intentions – he uses an air-raid siren to create a chilling effect, but surrounds it with other scare tactics: a choir, used effectively throughout, whether chanting words, singing wordlessly or whispering what are far from sweet nothings the col legno strings which are so effective and conjuring an unsettling feeling and some extended sequences of terror employing the full forces of the large orchestra. There’s nothing especially original here – there are hints of Elliot Goldenthal (particularly Sphere) and Christopher Young throughout – but it’s a pleasure to hear the orchestral technique used by the composer to create his chills and thrills. Many of these 2000s-era remakes of horror classics from days gone by have received somewhat predictable scores by somewhat predictable choices of composer, so it was a nice surprise when the excellent Spanish composer Roque Baños was signed to write the score – director Fede Alvarez stuck to his guns to get the composer the job and it’s a good job he did, because his music is one of the most visceral “old-school” horror scores in the last few years, relying not on the textural ambience which has been favoured recently in an attempt to create an unsettling atmosphere – this is visceral, brutal orchestral music with one aim in mind – to scare.

The black comedy elements that were part of what made the original movie so distinctive and popular were excluded this time (though Sam Raimi was one of this film’s producers).
