On the contrary, I though it was one of the top fantasy/sf films so far this year, and almost the best "Stephan King" film so far (CARRIE still has top honors in that catagory, though FIRESTARTER is a bit more faithful to the novel). As to the music, I thought the TD soundtrack was nice as music, but it didn't quite fit the movie. TD's soundtrack for THE KEEP was even worse in this regard, though it often brought out the proper mood in some scenes. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
