Awww, damn. One of my favorite composers breaks into major motion pictures, and it’s a movie I am quite frankly too terrified to go and see. Ingram Marshall and Shutter Island were not things I expected to see linked when I first saw the trailer for this little tale of horrors–though there is clearly fog–but it doesn’t even stop there. The soundtrack also includes music by John Cage, John Adams, Max Richter, Brian Eno, Giacinto Scelsi, Krzysztof Penderecki, György Ligeti, and…it just keeps going. I’m completely intrigued, and now musically freaked in a completely different capacity. Maybe I can take hold of my fear, dig my nails into my husband’s forearm, and hit the cineplex to endure this terrifying tour de cliché just to catch how the soundtrack works!?!
Um, no, wait, you go ahead. Think I’ll wait for the DVD so I can cling to a blanket in the privacy of my own home.
It’s an AMAZING piece of cinema. I think it’s one of Scorsese’s best. And really, it’s not THAT scary… 😉
Molly adds: Thanks for the review, Greg! I will try and chill out then and find out when it’s playing near me this weekend.
