“LA CHIESA” (THE CHURCH) was directed in 1989 by Michele Soavi (DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE) and produced by the master of Italian horror himself, Dario Argento, who also participated in the writing of the story and screenplay. The soundtrack is composed by Keith Emerson and Goblin. Classical, prog rock, and electronic sounds are skillfully blended here to create a late entry Italian masterpiece. Emerson, in particular, makes extensive use of a church organ, mindful of his work for Dario Argento’s film INFERNO a few years earlier (1980), while Goblin continue the bombastic electro-prog rock sound they fine tuned the previous 20 years.
