The Killer Playlist: Every Song in The Woman in Cabin 10 on Netflix

Netflix's The Woman in Cabin 10 keeps the needle-drops tight and purposeful. It’s a lean soundtrack that shows up at exactly the right moments while Laura (Keira Knightley) tries to prove she really did see a woman go overboard on the first night of a luxury cruise. The trip, by the way, is hosted by Richard Bullmer for his ailing wife, Anne — a detail that matters once secrets start popping.

Most of the music comes from two places: sharp, scene-setting drops early on, and a small, slightly awkward private performance from a guest who has history with the hosts. Here’s what plays, when it plays, and why it’s there.

• Animal — Pearl Jam — 00:12:19
  From Pearl Jam’s 1993 album Vs., this kicks in right as we meet Danny Tyler (Paul Kaye), a once-big musician and a friend of Richard Bullmer. He shows up after everyone’s boarded, makes a splash, and later offers his services to the group before bailing on the cruise mid-journey. The song’s energy fits the sudden jolt his arrival brings.
• The Gravedigger's Song — Mark Lanegan Band — 00:42:24
  The opening single off Mark Lanegan’s 2012 album Blues Funeral. During a private gathering with Laura, Richard, Anne, and a handful of guests, Danny opens his mini-set with this one. It lands well with the room — applause, smiles — and sets a slightly eerie, gravelly tone for what follows.
• Darlin' Don't — Stephen Fretwell — 00:43:02
  From Stephen Fretwell’s 2007 album Darlin' Don't, this is Danny’s next song in the same scene. Just before he plays it, he nudges Anne about a tune they used to perform together. She brushes it off, says she’s tired, then pauses in the doorway and acknowledges the pick.

  "This is the song he meant."

  It seems like a throwaway exchange in the moment, but it quietly feeds into what the film eventually reveals — and Laura’s suspicions keep sharpening as the chords ring out.
• We Were Just Here — Just Mustard — 01:25:41 (end credits)
  The title track from Just Mustard’s upcoming album We Were Just Here plays over the end credits as the story lands and Laura finally forces the truth into the open. The track’s moody, enveloping vibe matches the film’s last stretch perfectly. Fun wrinkle: the album itself is not out yet — it’s slated for October 24, 2025.
• Strangers In the Night — Frank Sinatra — trailer only
  Sinatra doesn’t appear in the movie proper, but his classic is all over the trailer. It’s a clever counterpoint — smooth, romantic, and just unsettling enough when paired with creeping dread.

Not a wall-to-wall soundtrack, but that’s the point. Every song is doing a job here: hype the entrance, color the party, hint at shared past, and finally leave you with a lingering chill as the credits roll.
