Koji Endo,
who composed the scores for the previous two films in
the series, returns to create the soundtrack for the "final"
entry in the horror trilogy. For this particular CD, Endo
does an admirable job in creating a very atmospheric and
sometimes haunting score. Some of these themes are very
foreboding and slightly low key, such as the first track
"Mess(a)ge", yet to Endo's credit they are still
satisfying as a standalone experience, unlike a lot of
horror soundtracks. One of the standout themes off this
disc, and one of the more chilling, would be the "Ech(o)"
track that builds up to an almost scream-like shrill in
the audio that oddly works even as a standalone affair.
A select few of these themes are faster paced, such as
"(M)ail", and the transition between the slower
tempo pieces and the more action based feels very natural
instead of awkward. "Re(q)uiem", one of the
last tracks by Endo, is one of my personal favorites off
this release. The cue is a standout attraction for walking
a thin line between a theme that could qualify as sad
or tragic, yet slightly unnerving at the same time.
In terms of the work done by other composers, Jyunichi
Matsuda provides the last track on this disc, which is
surprisingly energetic in terms of its tempo. It ends
up being one of the better themes off this disc, and certainly
one of the more memorable as it sounds closer to an action
theme for a trailer than the typical horror motifs. The
other theme done by a different composer is the "Break
a (S)pell" track by Toshiko Ezaki, which is a nice
soothing melody that sounds very similar to Koji Endo's
work on the disc.
Overall, of the three soundtracks in this series, the
trilogy's finale is easily the most memorable. There are
a number of nice tracks on this release, if one is into
atmospheric music, as the CD is a good release that had
potential to be great if only the runtime was a little
longer.
