HAD SOME GOOD MUSIC I BELIEVE


I have this movie actually. I remember seeing it when I moved. I don't remember too much but somehow I remember there were a couple of good songs in it. Im gonna have to try to find this so I can see about the music.

your memory serves correctly. the music really is actually quite good in it. at least the songs. the score itself is typical "creepy" music and it's usually played during sequences in which nothing really happened.

You have to be kidding, the songs in this movie were horrible, me and my girlfriend were both commenting during the movie how bad the music was.

wow, you and your girlfriend must have a very crappy taste in music. the music in the movie was amazing! especially at the start when the guy is driving and then getting ready to start killing. very beautiful.

It has a groovy song, 'Pretty Lady', but the film music is terrible. One of the reasons the movie falls flat on its face is that there isn't a powerful score to emphasise the action. The script itself was servicable, the actors decent, but with tighter editing and sharp musical cues, this one could have been a good scary ride. As it stands, it's a bit of an underachiever.

I love the songs in it. Does anyone know where I can get the first song played in the first murder scene? I think it's called "Carolina in the Morning".

i disagree. i felt that the music was very powerful. the music at the start went perfectly with the scene. when the murderer is driving in the car and getting ready to start killing. that was just AWESOME!!

I just watched this last night and the music is just awful. I had to speed through some scenes to get through the horrible songs. One during the killing scene in the apartment with the turntable and the other was in the bar. To each their own, but for me, the soundtrack is brutal.
