レビュー (Amazon) Director John Carpenter's runaway hit Halloween earned him a cult following as both a horror director and elementally effective gothic film scorer (Carpenter has scored the majority of his films, a feat that has put him and fellow director Mike Figgis in a very exclusive club). But his follow-up, The Fog, was fraught with such initial problems that the director-scorer reshot, re-edited, and rescored the entire film in just a month. While his Fog score (in a newly expanded and remixed edition that follows a similar upgrade of his cult-fave Escape from New York music) doesn't exactly break the mold of the tensely rhythmic minimalism he used to great effect in Halloween, it's more gothic and classically spooky in every way. Opening with the film's mood-setting ghost story (read by the great John Houseman), Carpenter's spare synth- and piano-driven music masterfully weaves an atmosphere of mystery and dread. If you have guests overstaying their welcome, this album might just do the trick. --Jerry McCulley |
