I don't remember Saw's music at all, but I'm sure it sucked. Just like the movie. The horror genre is the king of all genres when it comes to best music scores / soundtracks.    Aside from that... Most movies that go with pop music usually have pretty flawed soundtracks. The two non-horror movies that come to mind that had amazing soundtracks were Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and The Craft. Can't think of any real dud tracks on either of those albums. Beavis and Butthead Do America is another pretty good soundtrack. The music itself may be dated by now, but The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Yellow Submarine also had great soundtracks. And, of course: Little Shop of Horrors.    |

Cabin Fever - not a great movie, but ONE FUCKING HELL of a score. One of the only scores that chose to be different in this shitty decade where every single horror score sounds exactly the same. Of course, he had a little help from the legendary Angelo Badalamenti (a frequent colaborator with David Lynch, but he also did the excellent Nightmare on Elm Street 3).

Agreed. The amazing thing about it is how broad it is. It incorporates the really bad BOOM! industrial sound effects on all today's movies (think about that sound and horror movies, I think you can picture it in your mind), but it also has a lot of other instruments. We get piano-driven parts, there is surreal ambient pieces, bango-plucking parts... It's basically a fully-functioning Character-reflecting score. It's diverse, multi-faceted, and INVENTIVE. It's almost like the music alone is a parody of horror. Yet it manages to be a seriously amazing score. It's also memorable. I can actually hear it in my head if I take the time to think about it. It's not some faceless "cut & paste" score like every other horror movie this decade. Also,  actually had at least one pretty good piece of music in its' score. If that's what's playing on the DVD menu. But when you score a horror movie like a drama...you know you're in trouble. Drama is the genre most criminal of copying scores. They all sound the same. But The Others had a bit of whistfulness in it. So, what the heck? I'll give it a mini-mention. |
