“Wow. It’s not often that I get to start off a review with that word, so I’d like to use it again. Wow! This is a moody, eclectic and above all well crafted soundtrack which has the hairs on the back of my neck standing at attention. The music is haunting and beautiful, with just the right blend of sampled sounds (wind, breathing, creepy noises and more) to amp up the shiver factor without detracting from the music itself.”
