According to Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor — who worked on the soundtracks for The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — his sonic offerings for Gone Girl were inspired by "really terrible music you hear in massage parlors." But don't let that fool you into thinking you won't be enraptured by every last note of Reznor and Atticus Ross' haunting score for fall's most anticipated film. If you don't believe us, listen for yourself. You can now preview the dark, orchestral soundtrack's "The Way He Looks at Me," via the Nine Inch Nails website.
