Hollywood Records and 20th Century
Studios announce the release today of SEND HELP– Original Motion Picture Soundtrack with music by award-winning composer Danny Elfman. The multi-faceted musician has worked extensively over a more than 30-year period with Send Help director Sam Raimi. On Send Help, which premieres exclusively in theaters today, Elfman’s distinctive score heightens the mood of the film and its characters. The darkly comedic psychological thriller is elevated by Elfman’s mastery of vividly ominous, mischievous and comic elements in his music.
Says Elfman: “I have always loved Sam’s movies, and working with him is a special treat! Send Help was great—dark, crazy, funny, and tense all mixed together. Perfect for me!”
