Reception
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter summarized that "the groaning soundscape works in tandem with Bishara's big scary-ass score to creep under the audience's skin."[2] Christopher Garner of Movie Music UK wrote "If you like music that scares you,and if you don’t require said music to have any kind of melodic hook,you could give this a shot."[3] Ben of Soundtrack Universe wrote "Ultimately The Devil Made Me Do It is easily the most "accessible" of Bishara's horror outings thus far,though any curious listeners should still approach with caution... this is a highly avant garde horror score,after all."[4] Christopher John of The Curb wrote "Joseph Bishara delivers his typical ultra-creepy score made of inhuman noises and scattered string sections."[5]
Eammon Jacobs of Radio Times mentioned it as an "eerie score".[6] Chris Bumbray of JoBlo.com wrote "Joseph Bishara contributes a creepy score to liven up the action".[7] Laura Potier of Starburst noted that Bishara's score "ensures that gore hounds will leave the theatre satisfied."[8]Santa Fe Reporter noted that "everything is intensified by Joseph Bishara’s score".[9]
