Viewing Notes

If you told I’d revisit this movie twice in the same year I tell you that you’re nuts. This was a last minute bonus feature for the 24+ hour marathon which ended up at 28 hours. wow

Crazy how much the new score improves the viewing of this bad movie. Justin’s buddy created a new score consisting of industry music from this time period (ex. KMFDM’s Godlike) and crafted a whole new score, removing the terrible Silvestri score entirely. So much better. My only complaint is that I wish he had done even more with it, adding background music to scenes that didn’t previously have it.

Still not a great movie but it works better with an industrial score that tonally feels like what this movie is presenting.
