I like the way people talk as if Tarantino INVENTED ANYTHING!!! The guy hacked his way into a career and has been rambling, rambling, rambling on ever since. I don't think it's possible to RIP OFF Tarantino as he is the very definition of RIP OFF!!
Like him or not, his films are for the most part very stylized, and consequently, very recognizable. This film looks to me like it is trying to ape Tarantino. Or at least the trailer looks that way.
Successful artists are ripped off in every medium and every genre. If there is money to be made, artists will be imitated.

Thank you. Finally someone who says what I'm saying for years.

I only listened to the first 9 tracks. I think the choral stuff in the suite is interesting and maybe some of the textures and piano pieces. But overall, the score is pretty boring so far.
This is one of the best films I've seen at the cinema this year. I didn't come out buzzing as much as I did after BABY DRIVER, but it's still a splendid time at the movies. Thoroughly engrossing and suspenseful, with a neat Agatha Christie vibe and a truly cinematic feel, it's two for two now by this Drew Goddard fella. It's also interesting to note certain similarities to CABIN IN THE WOODS. The guy sure likes his two-way mirror plot devices and portentous 'big bad' build-up. MG's score did some great grunt work, keeping things moving and chugging along and although there wasn't that much I'd want to hear stand-alone, it's main purpose was well and truly achieved. And at least it sounded like a proper film score.
Well, if by Tarantino wannabe you mean 'was there lengthy scenes of endless, inane yap about FUCK ALL and vinyl needle drop songs', thankfully the answer is NO.

The film itself is decent, nothing groundbreaking but not a ripoff. It does hearken back to a filmnoir style of filmmaking and ends up with characters you do care about and I was certainly stressed at the end of what was gonna happen to who. And there are some surprises thrown in for good measure. The previews do try to make it look like a cool, hipster, Tarantino kind of flick but in reality it's not. It has a measured, steady pace punctuated by moments of brief but brutal violence that keep you on your toes.
In regards to the music, it was hardy noticeable as the songs the used are front and center. I didn't even know that MG scored it to be honest as I didn't really bother to look. Nothing during the course of the film stood out or allowed me to take notice, whether thats a good thing or bad thing I dont know.
