Comical moments and climatic or thrilling points of the film were massively highlighted by the music – which was loud and proud throughout. Many scenes were completely enhanced or even transformed by the music playing in the background. The Guest relies on its soundtrack quite heavily in my opinion. Though there is a really bloody strong 80s sound which remains pretty consistent. There’s not one track I dislike and there’s a real mix of songs – both modern and vintage. Wowza.Īnyway, the whole soundtrack is really very excellent. Hmmmm.įans of the movie may remember where this song was playing, like I did. Shouting things I’d never usually shout like “yeah baby” or “give it to me”. My boyfriend downloaded it for me and because he’s pretty cool (sometimes) he got me the soundtrack and then put all these extra songs at the back of it which were songs played in the movie but not included on the sound track.Īnd I’m so glad he did otherwise I would have forgotten about this little beauty that I’ve been driving around listening to in absolute PURE DELIGHT recently. So I could drive around pretending I’m…… I dunno really, just pretending I’m awesome I suppose? But – with The Guest, one thing here was different. If I can’t have the case and the CD inlay, why fucking bother? It’s all on YouTube and Spotify after all. Usually I wouldn’t even bother getting the download. I must have bad luck because my two favourite soundtracks of the last decade – The Guest and Sunshine (2007) – have never been released on CD and this pains me a great deal. I put off reviewing it for a while because I wanted to see if they’d bring it out on CD, but sadly they haven’t. I find it so totally and utterly irresistible – and yes of course I’m saying that in the Marks and Spencer sex food voice. It’s the kind of soundtrack that makes me feel EXCITED and I want YOU to feel excited about it too. 2014 film The Guest has one of the best soundtracks I’ve literally heard in years. Literally.
