SAW

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Includes Fear Factory, Frontline Assembly, Pitbull Daycare & Score by Charlie Clouser

NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 6, 2004 -- On October 5th, Artists' Addiction Soundtracks/KOCH Records kicked off the 2004 Halloween season on a chilling note with the release of the original motion picture soundtrack to the much-anticipated Twisted Pictures' horror film "Saw," which opens at theaters nationwide on October 29th. The CD is a truly unique and inventive soundscape that eerily captures the horror flick's disturbing surrealism.

The film is expected to turn the horror film genre on its head. "Saw" is designed to shock the viewer with its primeval combination of gritty realism and stark surreal fantasy. Released through Lions Gate Films and starring Danny Glover ("Lethal Weapon," "The Royal Tenenbaums"), Carey Elwes ("Shadow of the Vampire," "Kiss the Girls," "Bram Stoker's Dracula"), Monica Potter ("Along Came A Spider") and Dina Meyer ("Starship Troopers," "Birds of Prey"), the movie stunned audiences at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, which harkened it as a "landscape of indelible horror." Rue Morgue Magazine attested that the film "will make your skin crawl right off your bones."

"Saw" was scored by Charlie Clouser (former keyboardist/programmer/drummer for the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, White Zombie). Although this is the first film he has scored, his work can be found on such high-profile soundtracks as "The Matrix," "Scream," "Lost Highway," and "Howard Stern's Private Parts." Clouser was chosen to score the film after a meeting with "Saw" director James Wan, who wanted a composer who could enhance the sensibility of his style. "He was so enthusiastic about the film," says Wan (who also contributes liner notes to the soundtrack). "He had so many great ideas; I knew he was the one to go with." Utilizing unconventional instrumentation and musical assistance from Helmet's Page Hamilton and NIN's Danny Lohner among others, Clouser created a score both ingenious and unorthodox, akin to Jerry Goldsmith's 1968 groundbreaking score to "Planet of the Apes." "Saw" soundtrack producer Jonathan Platt confirms, "The only word that comes to mind after spending a good amount of time with Charlie is BRILLIANT." Clouser currently scores the music for the hit television series "Las Vegas."

I've been following this movie for a while, it was supposed to come out in mid-September but got pushed back a few weeks... and movies that get pushed back... usually suck.

I still wanna see it.
