Cinematic, dark and suspenseful orchestral instrumental music soundtrack. Chilling, ominous and sinister thriller/horror film music full of tension and foreboding evil. However, in contrast, it does also feature some beautiful thematic music. Creepy, tense and haunting music with a sense of hideous insanity, urgency, desperation and exhausted melancholy.
Music composed and produced by Jon Brooks. A Japanese artist visits the Scottish Highlands to paint, but he becomes the target of a sadistic and psychopathic killer. Alone, suffering from exposure and hunted, he must find a way to survive.
