Album Review
The deeply unsettling The Mist captures composer Mark Isham at his most challenging and daring, eschewing melodic convention in favor of alien soundscapes and atonal techniques that perfectly capture the accompanying film's sinister suspense. The score is almost devoid of humanity, instead championing sound as a self-contained means to an end — Isham's atmospheric silence, rhythmic clusters, and tactile dissonance combine to communicate brilliantly something distinctly unknown and beyond. Varese Sarabande's soundtrack edition appends Dead Can Dance's equally otherworldly "The Host of Seraphim" as well as "The Vicious Blues," a jazz-era tribute recovered from Isham's score to 1994's underrated Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle.
Customer Reviews
Bad ending? NO WAY!!
The ending is the best part!! You watch this whole movie and wonder "how the hell is this gonna end?" I thought I had it figured out and I was gonna be pissed if i was right... then I was like WOW. Perfect way to end a movie like this also with a perfect song to end with - The Host Of Seraphim
aw, man....
So, i tried to download this last night and it was just under 8 bucks...given how little there is, in terms of total music, it seemed a fair enough price. I already have "Host of Seraphim" but was intrigued by the "special movie version," enough so to purchase the whole shebang -- also despite the fact that everything's "album only". But when I kept trying to download, it said there was a "problem/it was unavailable." And now it's 2 bucks more. Boo. Lame. I generally don't complain 'bout ITunes, but that's pretty weak. And now I don't think I wanna download it after all - it's not so much the 2 bucks more as the principal of the whole thing. In terms of the music itself, a lot of people complain about the use of existing pieces of music in the place of score, but "Seraphim" worked beautifully in the film -- really haunting, eerie. I still haven't shaken the end of the film. And while there isn't much of Isham's stuff, it was simple and sparse, and very effective.
good soundtrack; bad movie
Great soundrack. Haunting, creepy, and original. I especially like The Host of Seraphim. But I have to say: they gave this movie THE WORST POSSIBLE ENDING EVER!!! To those who want to see The Mist, don't. Out of all the possible ways they could have ended this movie they had to choose the most depressing one. I swear, this movie made me lose faith in humanity. :((((
