Then there’s another sound coming from above. Without giving too much away, there’s something peculiar going on in the skies above the farm, and this early scene does a brilliant job of ratcheting up the mystery and tension, largely through the soundtrack.Ī good Atmos system will place the incidental sounds of the desert all around the room, and there’s lovely detail to the crunch of Daniel Kaluuya’s boots on the gravel and to the concerned snort of the unsettled horse. It’s hard to write about Nope without spoiling it, so while we could have picked any number of scenes to showcase the awesome Dolby Atmos soundtrack, we’ve picked an earlyish one that tells the story of Ghost, one of the horses on the farm at the centre of the story.
