Who Composed the Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever Soundtrack?
Ceiri Torjussen composed the score for Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever. He is a Welsh-born, Los Angeles-based, Emmy-nominated composer who has scored more than 70 film and television productions. His notable credits include the Netflix drama Delhi Crime (Seasons 2 & 3), the Danish WWII epic The Bombardment — also directed by Ole Bornedal — A&E’s Cold Case Files, Blumhouse’s Into the Dark: Crawlers, and the CNN docuseries The People vs The Klan. Earlier in his career he worked as an orchestrator and additional composer alongside Marco Beltrami on films including Terminator 3, Blade II, and Hellboy.
Correction: an earlier version of this page misgendered Torjussen and falsely credited him with composing I, Robot (2004), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), and Flight of the Phoenix (2004) — those films were scored by Marco Beltrami, Harald Kloser, and Mark Isham, respectively, not Torjussen. This has been corrected using his official biography.
