Faithful to the Spirit of Dark Shadows.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2012

I approached this movie and the score with trepidation. As an original fan from the 1960's I already was looking down upon Burtons take along with Johnny Depp, one of my favorite actors. As time grew closer for the release, I allowed myself to ease my trepidation as I read Katherine Leigh Scotts new book. Knowing they (4 of the original actors) would show up in the movie as well as Alice Cooper, gave me some hope. As the opening music flowed hauntedly across my ears, I was elated. Like Coberts haunting woodwinds brought the original Dark Shadows to the forefront of music scores ever done for Television, and of course his dramatic orchestral prowess, Elfman's Score carries a feeling of eeriness with great touches of Cobert. As it goes along it occasionally goes for the bombastic but not so much as to lessen the haunting element of the movie. I could review the movie as well but I will leave it with Elfman's prowess at creating great moods for film.

Is Danny Elfman flogging a dead horse..?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2012

Verified Purchase

What should be an exciting score has been, quite sadly, permenantly marred by Danny Elfman's mis-use of one of his signature sounds - The Female Vocalising.
This sound was quite lovely in Edward Scissorhands, appropriately haunting for Sleepy Hollow, vibrant and whimsical throughout Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
However, with Alice in Wonderland, this particular signature began sounding old and tired.
In Dark Shadows, it has no place at all.
The theme is quite beautiful, the harmonies of the Choir, strong and complimentary. And, his score sounds more symphonic than previous pieces.
The female vocalising sounds almost like a hastily pieced together track, thrown into the mix after the score was completed. And, sounds pieced together from discarded moments from Sleepy Hollow and Alice.
If not for this over-used and tired vocalising, this score would be one of Danny Elfman's finest to date.
Here's hoping THAT particular signature sound is laid to rest.
It no longer has a place in cinema.

Not what I wanted. I wanted the music that was in the movie and not the score. Disappointing.

Danny Elfman is one of the greats.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2013

Great eerie music. The only way that this might have been better is if Robert Cobert had done some original compositions for this movie. However, if the goal was to have a newer fresh sound, then they did just right with Danny Elfman. I am a fan of his anyway. Besides, with Depp and Burton on this project, Elfman completes the Trinity. I love score and soundtrack music, especially for background when reading, writing, or gaming. I tend towards the gothic horror bent so this is perfect in my opinion for what it will be used for. I don't believe it will let YOU down.

too repetitive! disappointing! Boo!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

The current offering of dark shadows movie soundtrack is too over repetitive!
Oingo Boingos prodigy has simply repeated 'motifs' he created for the score and inserted them over and over
throughout the soundtrack.
A big ripp off and 'dis' to we Dark Shadows film enthusiast!
What is truly confounding is that when we listened to the amazon mp3 previews, the
compositions sounded fresh and different.
But, beware. When you get the actual album, you find Elfman does not
/is NOT creative. he simply re-uses the same set of compositional devices
over and over. Sad.
I would not purchase this product again.

Dark Shadows 2012 movie Soundtrack

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2012

Stirring music score by Danny Elfmann for the 2012 Dark Shadows movie. This CD is an excellent, haunting musical score but does not contain any of the modern, contemporary songs that were also used in the movie. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who saw & loved the 2012 Dark Shadows movie.

Danny Elfman's 'Dark Shadows'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I saw the movie at the cinema, I haven't seen it since as it hasn't been released on DVD. But I really enjoyed it and I have a number of original score soundtracks of Elfman's. The music is much more quiet and slow than that of soundtracks such as Alice in Wonderland and Edward Scissorhands, due to the nature of the movie. But it is still fantastic and I love it!
The item was in mint condition and arrived in good time.
I highly recommend it!

VUELVE ELFMAN !!!

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on April 1, 2013

A mi corto entender me ha parecido un muy buen trabajo vuelta a los sonidos mas oscuros y siniestros con gran maestria, no decae en ningun momento y no se hace nada pesado este score, si es cierto que tiene un temazo central alucinante y el resto baja pero... ¿ es demasiado bueno ese tema central ? o ¿ peores los otros temas ?. Lo recomiendo a todo fan de Danny Elfman o Tim Burton sin ninguna duda. No defrauda.
