Outstanding score with tremendous action/chase cues, great horrifically demonic (or is it demonically horrific?) terror music,and all with that classic Rosenman atonal touch. Beautiful digital transfer with crisp clean visuals and sound. And the film itself ain't half bad for a late 70's horror flick. Credible acting by James Brolin, Kathleen LLoyd,and The Car too! Spectacular backgrounds featuring Zion National Park as well. Here's hoping somebody will put this score out (FSM,Intrada,LaLa,any takers?). Yeah, I know it's a Universal film, but if we can get all that great stuff from Amazing Stories, why not this too? One of Rosenman's best IMHO.

I remember turning to a friend of mine (who dragged me to see this in a movie theater back in 1977), and saying at the end of it, "Dude, you owe me $2.50." Good God, this movie is unintentionally hilarious. From Ronny Cox's blubbering (it took 10 years for him to redeem himself in my eyes with "Robocop") to the hilarious dialogue and the "terrified" reaction shots to the "face of the devil in the fireball" at the end, this movie is a grindhouse-level guilty pleasure. (Towards the end of the film, we were openly making fun of it; when a character picks up a phone later in the film, my friend said aloud, "he's calling the Air Force to ask them to drop an A-bomb on it!", and the handful of people in the theater laughed out loud.) But as a Leonard Rosenman fan, yeah, I'd buy the score in a heartbeat, along with any other unreleased Rosenman (like "Prophecy," otherwise known as "The Attack of the Pizza-Covered Bear.") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3FYPMx4K54 -- Jon

Maybe it could be coupled with Billy Goldenberg´s "Duel"

the prequel to THE DRIVER?

An effective thriller, but if there is a soundtrack release, that obnoxious, deafening honking horn simply MUST be included!
