Without a score, without music, movies and TV series wouldn’t be the same. After all, it shapes impressions, influences a scene’s vibe, and lends emotion. One great example of that is the killer soundtrack for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.
The composer behind the blend of ’80s and dark instrumentals is none other than Sven Faulconer. He’s also the composer of the soundtrack for Scream VI. I sat down with Sven to discuss the soundtrack, how music shapes emotion and scenes, and so much more. He also filled us in on his process and told us some stories.
Ready or Not
Unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere, you’ve probably already seen the trailer for the batshit crazy (in the best possible way), brutal movie. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, a must-see, sees the stakes leveled up from “deadly in-laws” to “shadowy global cabal.” Our favorite bride (Samara Weaving) is back, but this time she’s dragging her sister, Faith (Kathryn Newton), along for the ride. Chained together, the duo must survive a new game of Hide and Seek to win a seat on the “High Council.”
Directors Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) are going full John Wick with the world-building. To populate this new, bloodier landscape, they’ve assembled a literal Hall of Fame: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood. They’re joined by Kevin Durand, Shawn Hatosy, and Néstor Carbonell. But that’s not all, body-horror maestro David Cronenberg steps in front of the camera for a rare, suitably creepy acting role.
The Sound
The massive soundtrack features thirty-four songs and scores to keep you on the edge of your seat. Here’s the best news: it’s available right now.
