Review
"The audio elements of Orlof complement the visuals, combining efforts to keep the audience on their toes. The dizzy musical score by José Pagán and Antonio Ramírez Ángel... Actually, I misspeak – "music" is far too nice a word for the cacophony of percussion and bizarre arrangements that permeate Orlof's soundscape. Pagán and Ángel's work is more of a thrumming wakeup call to the senses, a bucket of cold water tossed down the ear. The camerawork and the soundtrack combine to form a general aesthetic of "screw aesthetics," infusing Orlof with a manic, exhilarating energy that enlivens and rejuvenates the clichés in the script." - Nate Yapp, Classic-Horror
