Review
"Martin Gauthier has created a deeply effective action/horror score for the religiously themed horror movie. To fit with the religious aspects, there are a number of tracks that utilize vocals to great effect. There are numerous of atmospheric, tense, horror tracks as you would expect that are very effective. While there are no live instruments used in this score, the samples used for the strings and horns are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. The beginning of the score has a few of the more somber, reflective pieces. Track 4 showcases the main theme beautifully with the use of cello and violin. Track 5 continues this feel with piano, solo clarinet and female vocals. 

As the score progresses, it descends deeper into darkness and some of the middle to end tracks become more aggressive and disturbing. Track 11, Countdown is quite long and relentless in its assault. It moves nicely between the initial atmosphere into action in parts with synthesizer beats and synthesized percussion. The score’s main theme is simple and effective, showing up in a number of tracks so that by the end of the score you might find yourself whistling along. As you reach the end, the vocals are used more heavily, often with chanting male vocals showcasing the religious feel."
