What is with the awful acoustic/piano pop songs that play every ten to fifteen minutes? And when that nonsense isn't going on, we're left with the laziest, most boring electronic score imaginable. This isn't a great movie, but it would have been much more tolerable with an appropriate soundtrack.
That's todays horror movies for you. A completely out of place score that kills any attempt at any atmosphere.
Of course it was clear this movie would rather be a Twilight ripoff with tons and tons of silly and poorly written lovey dovey crap than be an actual good werewolf movie.
I think it would have been better to do a straight remake than continue this drivel. The Howling series is terrible but the first film was a great werewolf movie that deserves more credit.
I like Gus' rendition of "Don't Fear the Reaper". Best track on the Scream soundtrack. Now if only iTunes can get the rights to sell this on their page I'd be set!
Yeah, Gus' rendition of "Don't Fear the Reaper" is excellent and, thankfully, different enough from the original to stand on its own. Also, There's a superb song when the main guy talks to Kay in front of the school entrance that's really good.
Yeah, I figured it was a movie about teenagers made for teenagers so they figured they might as well put music a teenager would listen to so it didn't bother me that much. I do agree that every horror movie score sounds the same these days, though. The same slow, dreary, ambient score for every movie. I can't think of many musical scores from these days that will be iconic like the scores for Halloween, Psycho, Suspiria, The Omen, or The Amityville Horror. It used to be that the score was almost a character in the film.
I didn't think the movie was that bad, and as for the music... I'm trying to find the siundtrack anywgere U can. It's listed in the credits, but can't find any reference to it anywhere on the web. ANY HELP???? Please
