George Harrison's Haunting Song in New Horror Film 'Weapons'

Details

Description

The new horror film 'Weapons' has debuted at No. 1 at the box office, and it features a haunting classic rock song by George Harrison.
The movie follows the baffling case of 17 children from the same classroom who all run away on the same night, seemingly abducted by an unseen force.
The film opens with the kids running out of their houses in the middle of the night, soundtracked by George Harrison's 'Beware of Darkness.'
This song appeared on Harrison's 1970 triple album 'All Things Must Pass' and is achingly beautiful but vaguely foreboding.
The lyrics perfectly suit the premise of 'Weapons,' warning against allowing illusion to get in the way of one's true purpose.
'Beware of Darkness' reflects the philosophy of the Radha Krishna Temple and its influence on Harrison's own life.
The song was written around the time Harrison invited some members of the Hare Krishna movement to stay at his Friar Park estate in spring 1970.
The film's use of 'Beware of Darkness' is a great introduction to the song for uninitiated listeners, and it's a great example of how music can enhance the mood and atmosphere of a film.
