Being a regular horror film composer, Beltrami is clearly in his comfort zone here and he manages to introduce interesting concepts into the genre. Such ideas involve a few electronic pulsing rhythms and an original motif for the creature itself that involves an orchestral wail that moves up and down, like if it were a actual living breathing "thing"! Renovatio Records brings you this new release, with previously unreleased material and a fair balance between horror elements and thematic content.
The Thing definitely stands out in Beltrami's career and is a score that horror film music collectors cannot miss!

The protagonist is an American female scientist who attempts to discover the cellular capabilities of the creature, but she inevitably is caught in the middle of the standoff between terrified groups in the camp.
The prequel carefully builds momentum to the exact scene involving the helicopter pursuit of a running dog taken over by the "thing" witnessed at the start of the film. The amount of loyalty to the concept earned the version of The Thing some kudos from critics, though in their mixed reactions they cited its unfortunate redundancy with the original as a detriment.
Essentially, both plots push the same horror genre buttons, the prequel degenerating into a shock fest rather than meeting its goals of accentuating character drama. The score for the movie was not among Carpenter's own musical efforts, but rather by famed composer Ennio Morricone.
His take on the concept is remembered by an extremely lonely organ theme over an echoing, thumping electronic heartbeat effect.
For the prequel, horror master Marco Beltrami was hired to do the honors of setting up Morricone's score, and perhaps the most interesting aspect of the resulting music is the fact that despite all of the attempts made by the filmmakers to remain consistent with the movie, nothing much from Morricone's music, including its general style, is resurrected in Only a faithful reprise of the heartbeat effect at the end of "God's Country Music" establishes a connection between the two films.
Read More Outside of the one obvious nod to Morricone's score, the director of 's The Thing decided that he wanted to hear a more traditional symphonic approach to the prequel score in place of Morricone's less dynamic handling of the concept.
Beltrami had already bounced around stylistically within the franchise or remake-related horror genre in , turning in a rather tepid effort for Scream 4 and a far more fluid and lyrically intriguing alternative for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
His stance for The Thing is closer to the latter work since he was instructed to include some melodic substance to both the female protagonist and the "thing," but the result is not quite as cohesive in its narrative as hoped. While there are a few synthetic embellishments in Beltrami's score, it's mostly an exercise in unusual performance techniques for the orchestral players. Despite the claims of two dominant themes employed, the score really only exhibits one that receives substantial development.
Its rising three note phrases are vaguely optimistic but tempered in tone by the loneliness of the story's location. Heard faintly on whispering strings in "God's Country Music," the theme erupts in full ensemble mode in "Road to Antarctica.
