"Haunted," the original motion picture soundtrack composed and conducted by the acclaimed Debbie Wiseman, is a captivating journey into the world of supernatural thriller music. Released on August 14, 2006, via Silva Screen Records Ltd., this album is a reissue of Wiseman's highly regarded score, originally released in 1995 and adapted from the novel by James Herbert. The film, directed by the esteemed Lewis Gilbert, features a stellar cast including Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale, and Wiseman's score perfectly complements the eerie and suspenseful atmosphere of the movie.
The album spans 44 minutes and comprises 17 tracks, each meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of intrigue and tension. From the haunting melodies of "Juliet's Theme" to the chilling ambiance of "Spirits in the House," Wiseman's compositions are distinguished by their ability to capture emotion and character in an instant. The score includes some astringent writing, sparsely scored for vibrato-less flute and harp over icy string harmonics, adding to the album's eerie charm.
Wiseman, an award-winning composer of music for stage and screen, has created a score that is considered one of her finest works. "Haunted" showcases her talent for creating atmospheric and engaging music that perfectly complements the film's narrative. Whether you're a fan of film scores, supernatural thrillers, or simply appreciate beautifully composed music, "Haunted" is an album that will captivate and enthrall.
