just laughably weird


like seriously, the suspenseful music with the steamroller is just so fucking bizarre. I love AC/DC, but the choice of music they composed for that moment felt unintentionally hilarious than suspenseful and sounded like a knock-off of the theme from Psycho except they added an 80's synthesizer. No wonder the entire movie got bad reviews.

I thought maybe a secondary musician did the incidental music, but no, apparently AC/DC did everything!

King probably instructed them to incorporate the Psycho-type sound into the scenes and they may have also been added by someone else after the rock stuff was finished.

In the end, it's quite a uniquely odd film and loved by many. Myself, it's something I'd only watch a few times in my life but I like it.
