Bury the Devil is a 2026 Canadian-American supernatural horror film directed by Adam O’Brien, shot to unfold as a single continuous take in real time. The film stars Dawn Ford as Evelyn, an elderly dementia patient, and Emmanuelle Lussier Martinez as Julia, the hospice nurse who discovers something far more sinister is living in the house with them, alongside Bill Rowat and Mark Antony Krupa. The film premiered at FrightFest Glasgow on March 6, 2026, and opened in select U.S. theaters and on demand via Brainstorm Media on August 21, 2026. It is the first installment in a planned trilogy, followed by Bury the Devil: Origin and Bury the Devil: Last Burial.
From this point on, this article focuses entirely on the film’s music — the score, its composer, and what has and hasn’t been officially confirmed about a soundtrack release.

Bury the Devil Soundtrack Overview
As of this article’s publication, no standalone soundtrack or score album for Bury the Devil has been released on any digital platform, and none has been announced by a label. This is not unusual for a smaller-budget genre release: many independent horror films distributed through boutique labels like Brainstorm Media and Blue Finch Film Releasing do not receive a commercial score album, particularly in the months immediately following a limited theatrical and VOD rollout.
What is confirmed is that the film has an original score, credited to composer Mario Sévigny, who worked alongside director Adam O’Brien and cinematographer Benoit Beaulieu to support the film’s real-time, single-take approach. Multiple production databases and festival program listings — including IMDb’s full crew credits, TMDB, Filmaffinity, and the film’s own program entry at L’Étrange Festival — confirm Sévigny as the sole credited composer.
Because Bury the Devil is staged almost entirely as one unbroken shot inside a single lakeside house, several reviewers have noted that the film leans heavily on sound design and ambient tension rather than a prominent, theme-driven score, a stylistic choice discussed further below.
Who Composed the Bury the Devil Soundtrack?
The score for Bury the Devil was composed by Mario Sévigny, a Quebec-rooted composer with more than two decades of credits across Canadian and American film, television, and trailer music. Sévigny is credited on IMDb, TMDB, and Filmaffinity as providing the film’s original music, working alongside director of photography Benoit Beaulieu.
Sévigny began his career as an assistant to composer Jerry De Villiers Jr., working on Québécois director Louis Saïa’s films Les Boys 2 and Les Boys 3, along with Cause of Death, Believe, Hidden Agenda, and the soap opera Emma. He landed his first solo composing credit at age 26 on the Teletoon animated series Edward, and later scored Frederik D’Amours’ short film Ice Cold, which won Best Short Film at Screamfest Los Angeles.
Since then, Sévigny’s work has appeared across a wide range of Canadian and American outlets, including Netflix, Sony Pictures Television, NBC Universal, Shudder, WGN America, Crave, Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, Tubi, CBC, TVA, and Peacock. He is best known for scoring the Sony Crackle drama series The Art of More (2015), starring Dennis Quaid, Cary Elwes, and Kate Bosworth, as well as Bellevue and Mohawk Girls. His more recent credits include the Hallmark Channel holiday film Holiday Mismatch (2024), and his work on the drama Beans was selected for the Toronto International Film Festival in 2020. Bury the Devil marks his contribution to a genre horror feature built around a real-time, single-shot structure.
Bury the Devil Official Tracklist
Pending. No official tracklist has been published for Bury the Devil. There is no confirmed listing on FMDB, no album page on Spotify or Apple Music, and no soundtrack announcement from Film Music Reporter as of this article’s publication.

Score Highlights
Because no cue titles or tracklist have been released, specific tracks cannot be named or described. That said, critics who have reviewed the film have made a few observations about how music and sound function within it, which are noted here as analytical observations rather than confirmed soundtrack credits:
- Several reviewers, including a Culture Crypt critique of the film, have pointed to the sound design — rather than an overt musical theme — as doing much of the atmospheric work, citing thunderstorm ambience and the film’s cold, blue-lit visual palette as reinforcing the isolation of its lakeside setting.
- A scene early in the film has Evelyn brushing her hair while a hymn plays, which Heaven of Horror’s review describes as an altered rendition of “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.” This appears to function as a diegetic, in-scene musical moment tied to the character rather than a confirmed licensed needle drop, and it has not been verified as part of any released score or soundtrack album.
- Reviewers from outlets including The People’s Movies and Ginger Nuts of Horror have praised the film’s “sound design and camera trickery” and its “haunted quality” in general terms, without singling out specific musical cues.
Bury the Devil Licensed Songs / Needle Drops

The hymn-like moment referenced above in the Score Highlights section has not been independently identified as a licensed recording, and no other song placements have been reported by entertainment press covering the film.
