"An awesomely rampaging orchestral sound..." - IF Magazine
"Frantic score... melodies of orchestral intensity... deliberately grotesque and humorous... Well constructed thematically, it relies on a notable principal theme." - Mundo BSO
"A fantastic old-school-style musical score.” - Fearnet
“Lush score...” - Fangoria
“A strong score by Ryan Shore...” - Film Threat
Our fourth project with Ryan Shore (if you haven't already, check out Headspace, The Girl Next Door and Numb/Kettle of Fish/Coney Island Baby) is our most exciting: a large, gothic orchestral horror score which pays tribute to the genre classics by Hans J. Salter, Herman Stein, Frank Skinner, James Bernard and Bernard Herrmann.
Recorded with the 93-piece Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, the score is epic, entertaining and exciting. "We all wanted an epic sound for this origin of a superhero, with a palette of intense energy, thematic motifs, dark brooding moments, playful tones, and powerful pounding action," the composer explains.
With its combination of horror and comedy, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer has already won a lot of critical acclaim. Anchor Bay's DVD of the film is coming out on October 7, co-inciding with MovieScore Media's CD and online release of the score.
