As a serial killer stalks the city, Julia—a young actress who just moved to town with her boyfriend—notices a mysterious stranger watching her from across the street in this terrifying thriller.
Says Halpern:
“Director Chloe Okuno and I discussed the idea that the score would be driven by the protagonist Julia’s emotional state—her longing, solitude, and increasing paranoia. The opening title theme—played on strings, piano, bowed glass, and raw electronics—has a slightly Eastern European quality inspired by the film’s Romanian setting that Chloe described as feeling like a ‘warped fairytale.’ The piece is at once romantic and menacing, with a shifting tonal center that implies the film’s pervading sense of paranoia and uncertainty. Elsewhere a theme for bells and dilapidated Soviet-era synths expresses Julia’s ennui and alienation in this unfamiliar city; pieces for warped strings and waterphone express moments of sheer terror; and bits of distorted driving synth pulse express key moments of assertion as she turns her gaze back onto the Watcher.”
