The score to Robert Eggers‘ “Nosferatu” (now in theaters) gets under your skin, and that’s exactly what composer Robin Carolan hoped to achieve.
Carolan gathered 60 string players to play a “spiral effect sound that is supposed to feel really disorienting and hit you in the gut.”
Eggers reimagines F. W. Murnau’s 1922 silent German Expressionist film, with Lily-Rose Depp starring as Ellen, a young woman who becomes the object of desire for the terrifying vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). The supporting cast includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.
