Who composed the soundtrack for The Long Walk?

The film’s score is by Jeremiah Fraites, who is best known as a member of alternative folk band The Lumineers. This marks his first ever score for a feature film.

Speaking about the soundtrack, Fraites said: “Getting to work with Francis [Lawrence] has been an absolute dream come true—I’ve been a huge fan of his films for as long as I can remember.

“My goal was to create music that not only heightened the horror elements but also honoured the deeply human, coming-of-age heart of the story. This project has been one of the most inspiring and rewarding experiences of my career.”
