Indie Horror Thriller BECKY Gets Digital Soundtrack Release

becky_1200Music.Film Recordings & Varèse Sarabande Records have digitally released the original motion picture soundtrack to the indie horror thriller BECKY from director-duo Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion (BUSHWICK, COOTIES). The pulsing original score is composed by Nima Fakhrara (DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN, CRYPTO, THE SIGNAL, 1979 REVOLUTION: BLACK FRIDAY).

In BECKY, a teenager’s weekend at a lake house with her father takes a turn for the worse when a group of convicts wreaks havoc on their lives. “Becky” is played by Lulu Wilson (THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, ANNABELLE: CREATION, STAR TREK: PICARD); EMMY® Nominee Kevin James, known for playing lovable schlubs (THE KING OF QUEENS, PAUL BLART: MALL COP), portrays a far a very different—and, seemingly, much more dangerous and malevolent character.   

The film was released on June 5th and is available On Demand and Digital, courtesy of Quiver Distribution.

“With this score, I took everything to its limits using children’s musical toys, vocal screams, and deep vocal breathings to create the signature sounds you can hear throughout,” Fakhrara said of scoring the film. “I wanted Becky to feel like a superhero origin story, and for the audience to experience the emotions Becky feels throughout her journey. Directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion kept pushing me to go wilder, and the score is the result of that.”

Watch Nima’s “Behind the Music” video, where he gives a demonstration of the instrumentation he utilized on the score:
