3.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting score for a horror film, November 15, 2011
This review is from: The Omen IV: The Awakening (1991 Television Film) (Audio CD)
Don't expect anything in the same line of the three strong and classic Jerry Goldsmith's scores, this is a surprisingly "light" score to an horror film. In fact lots of the "horror" scenes in the movie uses music from "The Omen" and "The Final Conflict" (not included in this CD) and the only track that, very vaguely, reminds the style of the score to the other films is "Jo's Death", but even in that track the tone is much lighter.
This music reminds me more of a "looney tunes" cartoon (even with some "circus" music), with a kind of "mickey mousing" quality, following closely every small action in the screen. Even if it does not seem like an horror score, in the movie it does function to enhance the suspense portions in a very different way that I find interesting.
My favourite tracks are "Felicity", "Psychic Fair", "Karen's Baby" and the finale. Not for all tastes, but if you like the sound samples you will enjoy this album.

This review is from: The Omen IV: The Awakening (1991 Television Film) (Audio CD)
First of all: 1- This is not the Jerry Golsdmith's score and this music doesn't have the Power of the first tree films, never! 2- This is a Primitive score with ridiculus Choral voices 3- The music doesn't fit in the film 4- Jonathan Sheffer use the same style of Danny Elfman, but this is not Elfman, Elfman and Goldsmith are realy Better...
