Marcel Sarmiento's Deadgirl tells the story of two high school boys who discover an imprisoned woman who cannot die. The novel plot receives an inspired musical treatment courtesy of Joseph Bauer, a talented film composer who has penned several impressive low budget horror scores for titles such as Brutal and Blackwater Valley Exorcism, as well as the current holiday comedy Elf-Man...

Marcel Sarmiento's score for Deadgirl collects together some interesting themes, although the album is mainly comprised of atmospheric ambient music. It's not the sort of album I'd dig out very often to listen to.

'Fate' brought to mind Carter Burwell's music for Being John Malkovich. 'The Makeover Waltz' is arguably this score's highlight, although sadly it's very short.

The album contains 18 tracks and lasts for 43 min, 14 sec.
