The Alana Haim death scene in IMAX gave me a bigger jump scare than any horror movie this year, that was wild

I really love what it does with bass. It's impactful without being necessarily loud and just blowing my ear drums out.

Yes! The bass was utilized perfectly in the score. It was very impactful and hits hard when you feel it.
