I just got done listening to this for the first time. Well done but no new ground for Banos here, unfortunately, and not a fantastic listen overall.
The end title builds to a beautifully rich string elegy, replete with the layering of agonized contrapuntal strings I've come to consider his trademark in recent years.
He does use a metronome in a few suspense cues, very cool and inventive given the nature of the film's subject matter. There's also a low menacing contrabassoon in a few cues, another nice old-school touch.
Largely though, we're talking about wandering mysterioso piano passages with whispering suspenseful strings, that occasionally rise into moments of dissonance or outright horror. But it's mostly ground he covered in the understated portions of EVIL DEAD and INTRUDERS, without as much enthusiasm.
Last track is great. "Meh" for the rest mostly. Have I lost faith in Banos? Not in the least. Doesn't sound like the movie was exactly a goldmine of inspiration given the reviews I've read thus far and with some of the projects he has on the horizon, well, I have a feeling we're only just beginning to see this composer's gifts emerging.
I have a feeling that this score, like the film, will be small peanuts in some very large careers for many of those involved. But still, there's about ten minutes worth of really good stuff and that end title is really lovely!
