Beyond The Black Rainbow
Beyond the Black Rainbow is a fantastic 2010 Sci Fi- Horror film directed by Panos Cosmatos that combines 60s and 70s Visual Modernity with elements of psychological and body horror. A standout in the film, is the brilliant soundtrack composed by Jeremy Schmidt of Black Mountain. Influenced heavily by the synth scores of John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream, the music is heavily reminiscent of scores such as The Shining and Midnight Express. If you're a fan of hypnotic synth scores you will more than likely eat this up. Highly recommended.
We Are Still Here
Ted Geoghagen's 2015 We Are Still Here is the best modern homage to the Fulci subgenre of horror films that I have seen in a long time. If you're a fan of House by the Cemetery particularly, you will love the atmosphere and the homages contained in the film. You will also appreciate the dark, haunting, and eerie soundtrack from Wojciech Golczewski. The slow, brooding compositions really make you feel like you're in an evil situation.
Event Horizon
A 90s favorite and cemented cult classic, Even Horizon is somewhat of a polarizing film with mixed reactions even to this day from audiences. Despite a pretty weak theatrical cut of the film, the recent director's cut shows the movie in its intended form and for me it stands out as one of the most horrifying films ever made. The soundtrack has also aged quite well for me as well with some amazing classical scores that fit super well. A perfect fit for your Halloween playlist.
