This is an enjoyable original soundtrack album with a blend of various rock tracks and original orchestral compositions by John 5 & Griffin Boice. 'Three Sisters' is a particularly excellent track. However, the problem is that some of the best original orchestral & instrumental music in the film is NOT on the soundtrack. Why ? The eerie choral music in the anti-Christ birth scene is missing as is the excellent foreboding music that accompanies the earlier 'normal' birth scene and which also reappears at the end of the film credits. Worth having but somewhat disappointing.
When it comes to soundtracks, Rob Zombie is the best! For all of his movies, he goes above and beyond trying to give us a great soundtrack, and something we will actually listen to. He loads the disc with great songs, sound bites, and instrumentals to really make us remember the mood and feeling of the film. Some soundtracks just slap together a handful of popular tunes from the time and done deal. Just to sell copies, but nothing that actually makes you remember the movie. Even worse, when some movies have soundtracks that claim "music inspired by the film"....even though said music is not within the those other soundtracks. Not Rob Zombie. Everything in this album will just make you appreciate the film more and you get a lot of cool stuff for your buck!
If you enjoy soundtracks, and you loved this movie, you'll dig this release!
Passend zum coolen Film gibt es diesen Soundtrack. Eigentlich recht entspannt - kann man recht gut im Auto oder unterm Kopfhörer hören. Vielleicht nur etwas zu viel von den Filmausschnitten - hätte mir persönlich lieber ein oder zwei Songs mehr gewünscht. Und schade dass der Titelsong so kurz ausgefallen ist - der ist nämlich echt der Hammer !
I love the fact that RZ's ST's contain dialogue bits as well as music. The opening track, which is an evil incantation from the head witch, sets the creepy mood properly. Like the ST's for The Devil's Rejects & Halloween, the great Ken Foree (sp?) lends quick bits of humor into otherwise grim proceedings. Classic ST for a classic film!!!
