Wow. After all the hoopla about the owl score I'd've thought there'd be some enthusiasm. . .

Perhaps it's the customers who are indifferent to Varèse Sarabande. wink

Maybe if they would post samples on their web site I could get exited about releases. I don't know why they have stopped posting samples (even on the Colosseum web site now).

I'm interested, after OWLS. But it won't be a blind buy.

Looks like an ABYSS sequel.

Samples on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sanctum-original-motion-picture/id415954173

Sounds like Guardians fans should be happy.

It appeared in the Intrada home page so, I deduce, it must be worth something apart from the very nice cover.

Anybody caught it? Some overall rating?

This is the first I've heard of this film/score, and apart from the shamanistic moaning in the first track, I really like what I heard in the samples. I'll be picking up the CD eventually, for sure.

I`m unable to hear the iTunes samples (because I refuse to load up my system with background utils or referencing programs or what-have-you, or sign my life away much further - grumble grumble (!)) but I *did* watch the HD trailer on the official site.

I really like what I see and what I hear. The score kind of reminds me of Insomnia.

The film seems to have a top-notch cast. Looking forward to it. I suspect I will pursue the purchase of the score forthwith...

The first I've heard about this movie or score. I'll probably watch the movie first.

There's a certain Mark Isham's Point Break feeling to it. Track #3's sample(The Doline) reminds me of Skydive (Point Break). I like it.

The film is truly awful but Hirschfelder's score is a really fine one - not thematic so much but with some great, full-blooded suspense and action cues. After about half an hour it was the only thing I was paying attention to. The wretched American accent by Iaon Gruffudd is an abomination and painful to the ears - you really have to hear it to believe how bad it is.

thanks for the tip.
The clips sound really great! Maybe it's the time to give David Hirschfelder a chance.

If you're in the UK, Varese appears to put all their new stuff on Spotify. I'm listening as I type and it's pretty good.

Yeah!
It would be cool if Zack Snyder kept him onboard (after their OWLS/GUARDIANS collab) for the new SUPERMAN film.

I've certainly been interested by what I've heard thus far. Hirschfelder continues to impress me these days.

Yes, this. I wasn't too impressed by Legend of the Guardians -- it works fine in the picture (with the exception of the new agey crapola when Soren was in the zone), but on CD had some good moments but overall never really clicked for me -- but Sanctum is a very pleasant surprise. The CD is a bit too lengthy for its own good, sags a bit in the middle, but there's a lot of very good stuff here.

I thought Green Hornet was bad, but this is the worst movie so far this year. Totally by the number plot with awful high school dialogue, no believable characters, and the special effects are bad. It feels like a snuff film in 3-D. Beware that if there's any flaw in anyone's body or psyche, they're dead within 5 minutes.

And the music isn't horrible. So it's the best thing in the movie in my opinion.
