Music Composed by HALLI CAUTHERY

ScreamWorks Records presents Halli Cauthery’s stylish score for the new Frankenstein adaptation by filmmaker Bernard Rose, best known for directing the 1992 art horror Candyman. In this modern retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic, the story is told told entirely from the perspective of the monster. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, the artificially created named Adam is left for dead by a husband-and-wife team of eccentric scientists – yet he lives. As the monster is confronted with nothing but aggression and violence from the world around him. This perfect creation-turned disfigured create must come to grips with the horrific nature of humanity, making us question who the real monster is in the proces…. Frankenstein stars Xavier Samuel as Adam, Danny Huston as Dr. Victor and Candyman himself Tony Todd in the role of a blind street musician.

Talking about his score, composer Halli Cauthery notes: ”For director Bernard Rose’s bold modern take on the Frankenstein story, my score weaves together a number of contrasting musical ideas: from the solemn, chant-like piece for men’s choir which represents ‘Adam’, or the monster himself; to the gentle, reflective piano theme which is representative of the idea of ‘mother’ (a key theme in the movie); as well as the low throbbing electronic pulse around which is built a number of ‘horror’-like music cues depicting the monster’s deep inner emotional turmoil as he struggles to understand and make sense of the world around him.”
