The opening to this film is extremely powerful both from a story perspective and the raw visuals that accompany it. I think Kilar nailed it. Note that there seems to be a striking "inspiration" from James Bernard's The Devil Rides Out - Invocation to the Devil.

This soundtrack is pretty good. Been listening to it lately to get in the mood for Halloween season! Return of the Shape is awesome...

ur actually nuts if u cant feel the heart and depth of that theme. so a little borrowing went on so what?if u can mentally push titanic out of your head and let d music drift through you,u'd get d big picture.

Composing a movie soundtrack in two weeks is pretty intense. Compare the opening of Troy to the opening of Avatar and this is why I get so fired up about how poor Avatar is.

Great review. I look forward to hearing it!

I agree this soundtrack is probably an homage to Dracula. I really liked to opening strings work though. Not sure why, but it evokes the wolf imagery in my head so it seems almost perfectly. This soundtrack definitely gets repetitive too.
