Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Top Dollar PR) Award-winning composer
Kevin Riepl (Aliens: Colonial Marines, ABCs of Death, The Aggression Scale) has created a dramatic and suitably festive original music score for Anchor Bay Film's upcoming SILENT NIGHT, directed by Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion, The Aggression Scale). Featuring dark ambient chills, orchestral thrills and holiday sleigh bells, Riepl's seasonal horror score for SILENT NIGHT is released today, November 26, by Paleblue Soundtracks on iTunes. On November 30, Anchor Bay Films presents SILENT NIGHT on screen in ten major U.S. metropolitan areas. The Blu-ray™/DVD combo and DVD will be available to unwrap nationwide on December 4.
SILENT NIGHT is a loose remake of the horror classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. The film's stellar cast includes Malcolm McDowell (Rob Zombie's Halloween, A Clockwork Orange), Jaime King (Sin City, My Bloody
Valentine 3D), Donal Logue (Shark Night 3D, Blade), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow), Brendan Fehr (Final Destination, X-Men First Class), and
Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World).
McDowell and King star as a small-town sheriff and deputy on the hunt for a murderous
Santa Claus terrorizing their community on Christmas Eve. But with the streets full of Santas for the annual Christmas parade, the killer is hiding in plain sight. He's made his list, checked it twice, and the naughty are going to pay with their lives.
Kevin Riepl is an award-winning composer writing for multiple entertainment genres. His engaging and atmospheric scores have enhanced numerous indie films such as ABCs of Death, Clemency and The Aggression Scale.
Commenting on Riepl's music for SILENT NIGHT, director Steven C. Miller said, "Kevin's score is visceral, emotional, and straight up brutal. Working with him has clearly elevated the film."
