Lakeshore Records will release The Girl In The Photographs – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on April 29 and on CD shortly thereafter. The album features the film’s original score by Nima Fakhrara (THE SIGNAL, EXISTS). This is the final film executive produced by horror legend Wes Craven.

“The idea behind the music was to create something with a very classical horror score in mind,” said Fakhrara. “We wanted to capture something of a throwback to the horror genre and the classic horror movies.”

At the start of THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, Colleen’s life isn’t going anywhere. The small town natural beauty is bored with her dead end job at a grocery store and is ready to distance herself from her abusive boyfriend. In the midst of her turmoil, a pair of deranged serial killers begins leaving her photos of their mutilated victims. Her chance to escape comes in the form of Peter Hemmings (Penn), a hipster celebrity photographer who has traveled back to his hometown of Spearfish, South Dakota with a pack of models, intent on copying the killers’ intense and unapologetic artistry and use it for an important ad campaign. When he learns Colleen is their muse, Peter resolves to make her his own and use her as the centerpiece of a photo campaign in Los Angeles. But before Colleen can leave her old life behind, she must contend with the desires of her murderous stalkers who have chosen her last night in town to execute their most provocative work to date.

“One of the most important things about this movie was to make the killers human, feel their emotions, and have the audience care for them,” Fakhrara explained. “The opening kill captures their dread and their hunt. For me it was important to capture their environment and humanize them. There is nothing scarier and terrifying then a human killer, even though they have monster-like tendencies.”

Founder of Zoo Creatives, Nima Fakhrara is a film composer with studios in Los Angeles and New York City, who has worked with directors such as Golden Globe winner Hany Abu-Assad, and the father of found footage, Eduardo Sanchez.
