I LOVE this movie's new score, on the Kino version. It perfectly suits the mood and action of the movie and serves as a definite mysteriously psychological enhancement. Furthermore, it's beautiful.
shareAgree entirely. It's now (as of 2013) available to download from the composer's website: http://paulmercer.bandcamp.com/album/the-hands-of-orlac-original-motion-picture-soundtrack
Good movies make you care, make you believe in possibilities again.

I just watched this for the first time and came here to comment on how excellent the soundtrack was (by Paul Mercer). I've no idea how it stands up to previous versions made available, but it stood out to me as one of the highlights of the film (not to undermine the quality of the film, it just really is a wonderful score and enhanced the mood tremendously).
