A rare pleasure

"Richard Band, known well for his score to the classic Re-Animator, has given us a musical trip filled with his best efforts. The heavy orchestra delivers a dark, looming aural sense, filled with chanting that only adds to the creepiness. The use of a full orchestra here was a wise move for band, as the film's content allows for no room for the electronic sound heard in modern scores. This cd is a work of true music, allowing the listener to close their eyes and create their own images if they have not yet seen the film. It's a shame this cd is so hard to find, as it is a welcome addition to the collection of not just horror fans, or fans of the film, but to anyone who loves a dark and foreboding sonic journey that sets the imagination afire!"
