Peter Albrechtensen working hand in hand with director Lee Cronen, Peter built the soundscape for Evil Dead Rise. Peter shares a masterful philosophy on using sound to tell your story, not just for horror films but any genre. 

In the cinematic universe where visuals often steal the limelight, a hidden element remains to be truly tapped into - the power of sound.
