Uses musical cues from Hughes Brother film: From Hell...


The scenes where Holmes is shooting up cocaine use musical cues that were in the Hughes Brother film, From Hell. Anyone else notice this?

Well, i think it's more a coincidence of both productions using an amplifying fade-in musical-effect of Victorian/early Edwardian industrial/steam-engine sounds of London as a dramatic/spooky/disorientating cue. It's logical 2 musicians, each scoring a film set at this time and place might very well hit on this same idea, resulting in near identical execution.

No, these cues are very distinct and not just the result of "coincidence". They are the exact, same cue. Plus, From Hell came out in 2001, Hound of the Baskervilles came out in 2002 using the exact, same musical cues that a (well-known) colleague used in a (relatively) big budged film, with Johnny Depp set in Victorian England.
