I like the new soundtrack

Just finished watching it on BBC4 and to be honest if it weren't for the new soundtrack I would probably have not watched it to the end.

I'm not a pop music loving teenager but the original soundtracks to silent movies are quite a turn-off.

The story itself is engrossing, the soundtrack never intrussive.

I too loved the music (new soundtrack), it was eerie at times and I don't think I've heard anything like it before. It's the first silent film I've ever seen and is now one of my faves. Unbeleivable atmosphere to this story, I couldn't stop thinking about this film for days afterwards. The music enhances what is there but is never overpowering.
