Jonas Govaert’s Cub came out earlier this year and was, in general, very well received by the horror community. Our own Chris Coffel liked it well enough while Jay Hawkinson wrote that the film, “…gets a lot of things right having plenty fun along the way.”
“[Cub] follows 12-year-old outcast Sam who, along with his troop of cub scouts and their teenage supervisors, camp in woods rumored to house a mysterious and deadly werewolf. Inquisitive Sam, certain the woods are inhibited by something evil, soon stumbles upon a feral young boy and, eventually, his evil psychopathic mentor. But convincing the others of the danger falls on deaf ears, and soon ingenious traps begin to take their violent toll on the group.”
To celebrate the upcoming original motion picture soundtrack release, which was composed by Steve Moore of Zombi fame, we’ve got an exclusive stream of the full soundtrack, which is full of brooding and rumbling synths, resulting in something deeply unsettling yet hypnotic. Head below to stream it.
Moore explains how he approached composing Cub, saying:
I started work on this score just two weeks after finishing the score for The Guest. My brain was a little fried, which I think helped add do the dark and emotional feel. The overall tone palette is Hammond M111 and old string synthesizers, with all percussion coming from vintage mono synths.
You can order a physical copy of the soundtrack via Relapse or digitally via Bandcamp.
