Listen to This ‘The Green Knight’ Track by Daniel Hart From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Exclusive]

Published

on

In conjunction with The Green Knight opening in theaters, Milan Records is set to release the The Green Knight—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on Friday, July 30, with music by Daniel Hart (The Exorcist TV series, A Ghost Story, Pete’s Dragon). Ahead of its release, you can get a feel for the dark fantasy epic’s distinct feel with the track “You Do Smell Like You’ve Been At Mass All Night,” below.

In a press release, the composer explains of the track, “This piece of music reprises the melody from an earlier cue. But whereas the introduction of the melody from the previous piece is fast and high-pitched, played on a soprano recorder, this version is lower and slower, taken on by the harp. In its introduction, the melody accompanies Gawain as he stumbles his way through a brothel, and is meant to echo his youthful abandon, his recklessness, his impulsive nature, and his desire to experience all of life’s pleasures.

In “You Do Smell Like You’ve Been At Mass All Night,” however, we watch Gawain prepare for an appearance at court, for the Christmas Feast. We watch him bathe, put on fine clothes, and have a heart-to-heart with his mother. As the audience of the film, we experience an immediate dichotomy in these back-to-back scenes, and so I wanted to reflect both that connection between and that separation of two worlds, all within the village surrounding Camelot.

“Making this music was somehow both like running from a pack of hyenas and wading through a river of chocolate mud. It has never taken David [Lowery] and I this long to find what we were looking for musically on any of his films, so to listen back now and actuallylove what we made is all the more satisfying, especially when I think about how many late nights and hair pullings went into it.

Much like Gawain himself, I was stumbling through the wilderness most of the time and found little moments of good fortune here and there, often through stubborn dumb luck. I hope that when you listen to the soundtrack, you’ll think about things other than me sitting in my studio, endlessly fretting. But if you do, then your imagination is very accurate,” Hart says of composing the entire score.

Lead single “One Year Hence” is available to listen to now, and you can preorder the entire 29-track soundtrack ahead of Friday’s release here.

New ‘Infested’ Exclusive Clip Will Make You Intensely Afraid of Bathroom Drains

Shudder Infested clip, spider horror

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.

Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.

If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.

In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.

“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.

“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”

Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.

Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.

In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”

The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
