One listen and you’ll be swept away in the hauntingly ethereal track that is “Protection,” from the Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television thriller Evil Eye. The Jason Blum and Priyanka Chopra Jonas-produced film is one of eight genre films in the Welcome To The Blumhouse anthology series, and the first commercial horror movie created by and starring South Asians.

Cinemacy is excited to premiere the track by composer Ronit Kirchman (The Sinner, Limetown), who also recently won the Hollywood Music in Media Award for “Outstanding Score for a TV Movie/Streaming.” Listen here:

Behind the scenes, Ronit took the film’s monumental achievement in South Asian history and created a distinctive sound rooted in horror artistry with traditional Indian instruments and textures. Focusing on the film’s mythology and reincarnation themes, Ronit’s sonic palette includes signature elements like flutes, harps, vocals, and a full complement of Hindustani percussion.

Kirchman explains: “It was truly a joy to compose the music for Evil Eye… I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to write emotional, melodic themes that trace family relationships and unfold in unexpected ways. The final scenes presented an exciting musical opportunity to amp up the intensity and provide maximum dramatic impact, transforming the vocabulary into something disturbingly resonant, yet newly threatening.”

‘Evil Eye’ is now streaming on Prime Video, and the soundtrack will be released by Lakeshore Records this Friday, February 12th.
