Editorial Reviews

Take one measure each of The Hill Have Eyes and Deliverance, toss with a little modern Joy Ride sensibility and you might end up with something approaching director Rob Schmidt's contemporary teen horror-thriller. Czech-born composer Elia Cmiral has carved himself a neat niche in the supernatural/horror genres since Stigmata, fueling his score here with a familiar, but effective cocktail of edgy 20th century orchestral modernism, cut with some bracing post-modern brio. Punctuating proceedings with silences and the instrumental equivalents of murmurs and whispers, the composer shows his mastery of the not always compatible facets of dynamics and tension to good effect throughout, using some deceptive pastoralism and a few dashes of what sounds like hillbilly baroque as a launching pad for his percussive thumps, string-powered creepery and brassy jolts. --Jerry McCulley

whatever.......2005-03-05

Jeez, this soundtrack is missing four songs listed in the end credits of the movie. I remember some played in movie. These missing songs are 'Wish I May' by Breaking Benjamin, `Halloween' by Dream Syndicate, and two from Queens of the Stone Age 'You Can't Quit Me Baby' and 'If Only,' ...What kind of movie soundtrack is this?

Track 10, by Gruvis Malt, is the only thing worth hearing on this record. I bought their album With the Spirit of a Traffic Jam because of it. After listening to it maybe 100 times, I'm truly hooked, but can't figure out why on earth it was in this movie.

Okay so maybe the movie wasn't the best in the world, but the soundtrack sure as heck kicked booty. The track that stands out the most to me was Grandaddys "Why Would I Want To Die?", the rest of the album has a mix of different music genres and is a definate must have.

A great score to a simple, primal film........2003-06-22

The film WRONG TURN is a modern twist on both TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and DELIVERANCE, updating both films for a younger, newer generation. The film is quick and punchy, never outstaying its welcome. The film knows exactly what it is -- an experiment in primal horror and the human condition gone terribly wrong. Character moments are extremely rare, for they are not necessary, and that is exactly what the score offers with as much power as the film -- intense and brutal action.

Cmiral takes nothing for a budget and turns it into a texturally rich score from organic sounds, instruments and synth music. As the film careens through a multitude of dangerous and thrilling situations, the score never lets up. By far my favorite tracks are "Wrong Turn Title", "Mountain Men" (absolutely spectacular action scoring), "Killing Mountain Men" and "Three-Finger is Back".

The only fault I can think of is that the more relaxed moments in the score feel a little too relaxed... it becomes almost inappropriate, given the rest of the film (and music). But past that, this is a great piece of work from a talented composer.
