January 2020 feels like an eternity ago, doesn’t it? Well, way back then, pre-pandemic, one of our favorite films from the Sundance Film Festival was the horror-thriller, “The Night House.” And thankfully, even though it’s been more than a year, Searchlight Pictures is prepping the release of “The Night House,” allowing for folks all around the world to experience the film that had audiences in Sundance cowering in fear.
With the release of “The Night House” just a week away, we’re thrilled to give our readers an exclusive listen to a piece of the film’s amazing soundtrack. The score for the thriller comes from composer Ben Lovett. You have probably heard his music in recent films such as “The Wind,” “The Wolf of Snow Hollow,” “Synchronicity,” and “The Ritual.” The latter of which was a previous collaboration with “The Night House” filmmaker, David Bruckner.
“The Night House” stars Rebecca Hall as a grieving widow that is trying to deal with the sudden passing of her husband while staying at their lakeside home. However, each night, she’s struck by terrible visions in her dreams that point to a supernatural force existing in the home. As you might expect, this leads to all sorts of scary situations.

In our review of “The Night House” from last year’s Sundance Film Festival, our reviewer talked about the scares on display in the film and credited Lovett’s score as adding to the overall frights and said, “Aided by David Marks’ exceptional, knife-edge editing—and sound design that deploys effects, soundtrack cuts, and Ben Lovett‘s score with all the soothing restfulness of a Guantanamo torture program—Bruckner has the filmmaking confidence to follow through on his scary build-ups with often unfeasibly frightening reveals.”
“The Night House” Soundtrack, released courtesy of Lakeshore Records, will arrive digitally on August 20. You can hear the exclusive track below and pre-order the soundtrack now.
