Customer Reviews
I suspect that this underrated movie will eventually be reconsidered and regarded as a minor classic.And one large reason is Brian Reitzell's "score".A soundtrack as uncompromising as this one has been a long time coming.And, ironically, I also suspect that one of the reasons 30 Days did not succeed at appealing to a larger audience (aside from its story problems - more on that when the DVD is released) is due to the unnerving quality of this soundtrackYeah, I know there are loads of antecedents, from Forbidden Planet up to Dead Birds.But this perfect soundscape blend of score/effects strikes me as unique: horror ambient; On Land under ice.Perfectly unnerving and beautifully ugly. Glacial layers of electronic dissonance; harsh metallic grindings that seem oddly organic; menacing creaks, sharp spiky howlings and shrieks; ominous silences; percussive assaults; strange strange stuff.It's all very bleak and foreboding.Something like what you might hear at 3:30 in the morning, suddenly awake with an echo of a disturbing dream, and something over there in the corner...Reitzell has rearranged the chronology on the CD, fashioning a suite that flows through its brief, sole moment of transcendence (just a shade of Alien3's final planctus) and on through its never quite resolved Underture.I think this marvelous soundtrack may very well be a horror landmark.At the very least, it sets a new standard.Brian Reitzell - watch for him.
