[Thor Joachim Haga]

Listening to the album now. It isn’t quite as interesting as I remembered it from the film. What I DO like about it is that it’s “leaner” in sound than many of his noisy blockbuster fests in recent years. But relatively meager on themes (except that lovely opening vocalise), mostly just classic Elfman suspense or horror chords rummaging around. A bit like THE FRIGHTENERS, perhaps.

The latest Elfman film score that I really, really liked remains THE CIRCLE, and that’s almost 10 years ago now. Thankfully, there have been some good concert works in the period.
