Original score from the 2023 horror mystery thriller feature film directed by Mitesh Kumar Patel, starring Meredith VanCuyk, Joey Heyworth and Sean Dillingham, produced by Applied Art Productions and released by Stonecutter Media (USA). 

THE STORY: A young woman rents a cursed house, forcing her to solve the mystery to find a way out.

THE SCORE: “Director Mitesh Kumar Patel had a strong vision for the musical direction of the score. He mentioned that it would be exciting to explore a musical theme that describes the house being alive, as if it is ‘breathing’. It was a nice challenge and having tried different ideas I ended up with one that included a metallic soundscape that flexed as if the metal elements of the construction moved with its breath. That motif appears in key moments in the film and can be heard in the track ‘It Breathes’. The original misguiding and inviting element of the house is portrayed by another melodic theme. It can be heard in the opening credits (‘Woman in the Maze’) and as a variation on ‘The Foreverb’, which wraps the fairy tale of the entire film. Additionally, we chose a hybrid orchestral/electronic score that allowed me to create labyrinth-type textures, with added vocal effects, that helped the music range from disorienting moods, to intense action and to a grandiosse sense of dread!” – George Kallis
