Review title: A great album to play on a stormy night with the lights out!
Product review: To my mind, John Carpenter's "The Thing" would have to be one of the most misunderstood movies to have come out of the Eighties. Critics panned it mercilessly for relying far too much on special effects and for being "not very scary". They had only to listen to the music soundtrack to instantly understand what the director had in mind. The movie's central theme is not one of horror per se, but about creeping paranoia and how it affects each character as one by one they fall victim to "The Thing". Morricone's score brings that out beautifully. Each track is composed to fit in perfectly with the movie's scenes, from the beginning, "Humanity (Part 1), to the final "Despair" where all hope is lost and the two surviving characters wait to die. If you're into horror movie soundtracks this CD is really a must.
