For me it was quite fun movie. I enjoyed game design thing, dark atmosphere, cool music like Gary Numan, Noname, Ivy Sole, Liam's dark synths just dope. And that's all.
Characters are kinda meh, I'v ampathised to just no one. Maybe if they made a short series for 4-5 episodes it would be much better to reveal the characters and make the story more intriguing.
But the scenes of eating glass/cutting tongue/etc look more ridiculous then scary. The final fight made me laugh a bit :lol:
I wish to hear more dark industrial synth music from Liam, it was one on the best things for me since AONO or whatever. Love it!

thanks for this :!:

it's like Liam used totally different soundboard than usual, 4:05 is imo closest to Prodigy groove, it's like Piranha and Hotride had a baby. But I wouldn't recognize this is Liam's work, maybe couple ghastly vibes, it's pretty fresh. So overall, very cool and effective score for a thriller movie, loved those banging BLAW BLAW BLAW sounds marking some scenes, also the way Liam was building tension is quite unique - glass scene, door scene were much better because of that.

I'm glad it's something else than I expected, edgy on the nose stuff in the vein of Champions of London would be stupid and wouldn't work here, this one does.

It was a dream for me to see Liam making a movie soundtrack, and he's definitely up for it, whetting appetite for more, Danny Boyle collab next maybe? doesn't have to be Bond 8-)

I really liked this score (movie was awful), you can definitely hear Liam's influences (John Carpenter's Escape From New York, Wendy Carlos' The Shining & Brad Fiedel's The Terminator), hopefully the full soundtrack gets published at some point (unlike Titan).

Also, some of the first track sounds like an alternate version of the snippet we got from a few years back: https://www.instagram.com/p/B86dGBzjRE8/

These are the 2 main themes to the movie, You'll need earphones/speakers.

Started watching the film, really dull. Struggled to concentrate. Not enough Eddie Marsan for me who is a great actor.

Decent acting but plot and horror sequences are pretty shit!!

Might be biased but the music is easily best thing about it

Liam did a great job, can't get enough of the dooming kick sounds in the ending track
