Benjamin Wallfisch has been tapped to score the upcoming British mini-series The Enfield Haunting. The supernatural drama is directed by Kristoffer Nyholm (The Killing) and stars Timothy Spall, Juliet Stevenson and Matthew Macfadyen. The 3-parter is based on real events that allegedly happened at a North London house in 1977 and follows a rookie paranormal researcher who is drawn to the house on Green Street after disturbing reports of a desperate family terrorized by malevolent unseen forces. Joshua St. Johnston (Walking on Sunshine) has written the scripts based on Guy Lyon Playfair’s book This House is Haunted. Adrian Sturges (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) is producing the project for Eleven Film. Jamie Campbell and Cameron Roach are executive producing. Wallfisch has previously scored the Sturges-produced 2008 feature The Escapist directed by Rupert Wyatt. The Enfield Haunting is set to premiere in the UK this coming April on Sky.
As previously reported, Wallfisch also has the horror thriller Crawlspace coming up. The composer also composed the music for the drama Desert Dancer directed by Richard Raymond and stars Freida Pinto, Alfred Molina and Reece Ritchie. The movie is set in Iran and centers on the life of Iranian dancer Afshin Ghaffarian against the backdrop of the 2009 election protests. The drama recently premiered to critical acclaim at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and will be released on April 10, 2015 by Relativity Media.
