Behind the creations of thriller-suspense film music.
Listening to music can fire up strong emotions.
Film scores can be the most unsettling
especially within the
thriller, suspense and horror movie genres,
where the soundtrack can be a key catalyst for feelings of
fear and terror.
It's so effective, that certain musical devices have become
fully integrated into the film lexicon.
Yet composers are always - finding new ways
to frighten us.
