The film comes with a linear PCM 2.0 stereo surround soundtrack. Dialogue is clear and the overall audio is clean. The film’s score is a little odd (I’d almost call it a television score to be honest) but has some decent power behind it.

It is equally puzzling and disturbing and will leave you thinking about it for a long time to come.
