John Scott: Symptoms: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (CD) Pre-Order Deadline January 3/25 Release Date February 11/25
Dragon's Domain Records presents the original soundtrack for SYMPTOMS, featuring music composed and produced by John Scott (ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, GREYSTOKE: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, SHOOT TO KILL) for the 1974 British horror film co-written and directed by José Ramón Larraz (WHIRLPOOL, VAMPYRES, EDGE OF THE AXE), starring Lorna Helbron, Angela Pleasance, Ronald O'Neil, Peter Vaughan and Marie-Paule Mailleux. Released in 1974, SYMPTOMS tells the story of Anne, a young writer (Heilbron) who is invited by her friend, Helen (Pleasence), to come visit in her large English country mansion. But the estate - and the increasingly unhinged Anne - turn out not to be what they seem. The stay is complicated by the recent disappearance of a mutual friend, Cora (Mailleux), Helen's jealousy over Anne's attraction to her ex-boyfriend John (O'Neil), and the gruff nature of the estate's handyman, Brady (Vaughan). The unsettling tone, prompted by the film's atmosphere of quiet agitation and growing unease, is commendably supported by a provocative orchestral score by John Scott. Due to a severely limited budget, Scott created a potent and restless score using just ten musicians in total - flute, clarinet, piano, string quintet, harp, and a soprano voice.
