Harry Gregson-Williams delivers a chilling and atmospheric soundtrack for the 2007 psychological thriller "The Number 23," directed by Joel Schumacher. This nine-track album, released on February 20, 2007, under New Line Records, captures the essence of the film's suspenseful narrative with a duration of 44 minutes. The score is performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony, conducted by Gregson-Williams himself, ensuring a rich and immersive auditory experience.
The album opens with "Opening Titles (The Number 23)," setting the tone for the unsettling journey that follows. Tracks like "Fingerling's Childhood" and "Suicide Blonde" delve into the darker, more haunting aspects of the film's storyline, while "Ned" and "11:12 p.m." build tension with their nervous, skittery string work. The album culminates with "Atonement," providing a fitting closure to the psychological thriller's score. Each track is meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of fear and confusion, making "The Number 23" a standout piece in Gregson-Williams' discography.
