This is Us), Froy Gutierrez ( Teen Wolf), Bart Johnson ( Kick-Ass, Drop Zone). Adding to the intensity of the film is the haunting score by composer Alexander Arntzen. Some of Arntzen’s other credits include Beyond the Woods, Wally Got Wasted and A New York Christmas Wedding. Since the music in horror films plays such an interictal role, we spoke to Arntzen more in depth about his Initiation score and why he describes it as a visceral, dark, and frightening sonic experience. How did you get connected with Initiation? What attracted you to the script? I got connected with Initiation through John Berardo directly. I have been scoring his projects for over ten years. Very excited to be able to score his first feature. It’s been an incredible collaborative relationship we’ve built together.
