Bumping for one I just remembered, Cannibal Holocaust.
Very very rarely do horror movie soundtracks genuinely contribute this much to stirring my guts up. Possibly more than any album I've ever heard, the Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack gets so far under my skin it's almost unbearable after a few minutes. The string section on most of these tracks is ****ing heart wrenching, and when it's not heart wrenching it's absolutely beautiful, which makes it even more unsettling, knowing the scenes those melodies were imposed upon. And under all of these sweeping string melodies you've got this resurfacing low frequency synth... bubbling and churning in the background.
I remember last year I was looking for some soundtracks to take in the truck on the highway, ended up taking this one, remembering that it was very compelling in some way, I lasted maybe two tracks before I felt like utter **** and had to shut it off. Amazing soundtrack for an extremely memorable film, an excellent example of a horror soundtrack that actually works.
