Synopsis: This is the story of a young resourceful heroine named Lisa Reisert who hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying! Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is trapped on a red-eye flight with a creepy villainous handsome and charming man by the name of Jackson Rippner, who's playing middle-man in the plot to assassinate a Homeland Security official. He's got her father pinned down by a would-be killer, using that advantage to coerce Lisa into phoning the luxury resort where she works and arranging to move the target into a pre-set position.

A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

I was excited that we were all doing this together. Wes is a master at horror and manipulating the audience, and it was going to be great to have that opportunity in the service of a thriller. But where scoring horror is more of a ride where you're lookig for little things along the way to surprise the audience, suspense music needs to build up over time. That made it important to get some thematic stuff together right from the opening of RED EYE to musically present the characters, and let the audience know that they were going to be going on a thrill ride. I remember having a lot of fun with the brass players on this, because their work really pulled the score together. We used brass in a very different way from SCREAM, less with big sustains and triadic hard stuff and more with intricate and linear movement. The percussion was also a lot of fun, because you could make a lot of noise that really drove the score. I was eager to score RED EYE, because I knew it was a great way for Wes and me to show we could work together outside of  the horror movies that people associated us with. We have camaraderie in the filmmaking process where a lot of things are up in the air until they're done. The trust that Wes and Patrick had in me translated into my music in ways that went even above horror and suspense.
