Is this the one with Dreyfuss?Who's the composer?
Is it comparable to anything?posted 05-27-2002 03:25 AM PT (US)

The composer is Wilbert Hirsch, of whose work I`ve only heard this and An American WErewolf in Paris for the same director, Anthony Waller. And, no, this isn`t the horribly dull Dreyfuss film that, if I recall, correctly was called Silent Witness.The score is very good, a mysterious main title somewhat in the vein of Chris Young`s thriller scores and some great action music perhaps best comparable to Patrick Doyle`s output, especially Central Station from Carlito`s Way.
I remember seeing the cd once in a shop, but was dumb enough not to get it. It seems to have practically dissapeared now.

Like the above poster, I too saw it in a store - Virgin, no less, I think...doh! - and didnt' get it but that was before I'd seen the film, which I've now done about 8 times. I think it's a terrifically clever Hitchcockian film and it's a shame Waller couldn't pull off a better 2nd film as he seems to have faded into oblivion (for the record, I don't think American Werewolf in Paris is horrendous, but....those digital werewolves, oy). Peace.P.S. to keep fully on subject, the music's quite good, very operatic for a smaller horror-thriller in that C. Young vein as someone above mentioned.
