Same for me. I watched the movie first when I was in my early teens, and from time to time I remembered the music and story. (I usually forget about a movie´s story, let alone score, within weeks) So today I rented the movie once more and it´s still brilliant, in even more ways then back then. Brilliant acting, great scenery, and the soundtrack. I still get goosebumps every time this title comes on...
Oliver Stahl Same here, no other film has stuck with me like it did. Just rewatched it and the film was just as I remembered. Also this is Albarn's best music, its criminal the OST isn't available in digital format to buy.
Went to see the movie thinking shlock, came out thinking art. My sister ran out to get the soundtrack on CD (Ha!) the next day. Great film, great soundtrack.
everything you guys said... one of the most affecting scores for me....unforgettable. was watching cannibal documentary. and immediately thought of this movie. had to find it again and this song
I'm late to the party. This one was always on my "To Watch" list, but as life goes, it never happend. I saw it on Netflix the other day (while having supper which consisted of pot roast) and decided to give it a whirl. Pure awesome! When he goes after the preacher, it could almost be a Mentos commercial!
I dont think is underrated at all, everybody that have watched liked it, at least in my experience asking people. Its a damn master piece and most people appreciate it
@@vitin666 this movie came out when blockbuster and such were around, when VHS TAPES were around. A LOT OF PEOPLE havent seen its beauty. its really a shame. this is and will be always my favorite movie of all time and im 32 years old. this movie taught me a lot of things as well as fear a lot of things. its a pure masterpiece in every way.
It takes a hold of you instantly and sort of takes you on a journey where everything is going to be alright,so entrancing and addictive music,simple but quite genius.
When I went to the cinema, I remember it was only a couple and I watching it. I don´t know why this movie hasn´t had the success it deserved. The final scene, when the camera turns aerial and slowly got far while the image is fading, let me a sensation of being witness of a strange kind of beauty.I never get tired of watching it!
It's criminally underrated. Everyone I know who I've shared it with has enjoyed it. I understand how many could be put off by the gore, but by the 1990s I figure most audiences should be prepared for that from a horror movie. This has more than gore. It's got intrigue, dark humor, and spiritual themes.
One of the best film scores of all time. This final track is a great representation. Simultaneously light-hearted, oppressive, and ultimately triumphant. It is unsettling while still being beautiful. Kudos to Albarn and Nyman for making a perfect score to a fantastic film.
This music fits the movie so well. Unsettling, something not quite right but you can't put your finger on it. Lulls you into a false sense of security with its major chords while letting you know something isn't quite right with the a-tonal and minor undertones
@@youtertI was stressing out trying to figure out what the timing of the banjo part…13/8! Also it’s playing a major 7th interval which is really unsettling because when it’s playing the major 7th note it makes everything underneath it unresolved and “clash-y”. It’s exactly the same notes as the 48 second mark in this training video: ruclips.net/video/nDl038Gmtuc/видео.htmlsi=TtfuFYeFbm11vzUC
*Paradoxically tender and grotesque.* The words I've been looking for to describe 'this' one of my favourite movies and scores of all time. The music seems ironic and almost compassionate, following such a squeamishly powerful scene. Love the film, but loved the soundtrack more! Thanks for uploading this. Craig
What I don't get is why they didn't produce a couple more albums like this. I know the film bombed, unfairly because it is also excellent, but despite that I wish Albarn/Nyman had followed up the soundtrack as they absolutely nailed it.
One of the greatest movies ever made !! I remember watching it back in 1999 when it just came out. And still to date it baffles me how and why it didn’t get the recognition it deserves as a masterpiece
I’ll never forget seeing this movie in junior high hearing this song and being so moved. It made me feel a sort of way I’d never felt before by a film score. Melancholic beauty and it’s finest. Still makes me emotional every time I hear it.
Same here, 12 or 13 on HBO or Cinemax or one of those cable channels. Watched so many great movies that way at that age. The New World by Terrence Malick is another period piece with a terrific ending that really affected me.
Such an unnerving and unassuming little film. It didn't feel like a horror at all and the era it was set in aswell, if it hadnt of been executed in the most fantastic way Im sure it would have been a disjointed flop. Absolutely love the film, the soundtrack and the odd after emotions it has caused. Brilliant.
People often do this. "hadn't of" instead of "hadn't have". Or "shouldn't of" instead of "shouldn't have". They're spelling what they've heard, not what they've read.
I never imagined that a woman could make a brutal and philosophical movie like this one. I think it's probably true that misogyny runs quite deep in us men. RIP Antonia.
Loved te soundtrack, loved the movie. In the end when Boyd decides to die rather then loose his minds, humanity wins over savagery. Really good ending.
@@oddballsok I do believe it's all in person's mind. Boyd knew he was eating man's flash, same goes for Ive's and other wendigos. They knew what they were doing. I don't remember the movie as well, haven't watched it for a longer time, but Slouson just tasted it and he didn't know it was man's flesh soup. As for triumph of humanity over savagery - it's about Boyd's character. When he was struck with fear, he acted like a wild animal that is willing to survive no matter what, but in the end he realise there are fates worse than death and he decides to die a human rather then living pathetic life of a beast in a human skin.
My dad showed me this film when I was younger and I can't get the music out of my head, this film deserves so much more attention than it got, brilliant.
Normally I am inspired by soundtracks from the likes of John Barry and Hans Zimmer but this movie soundtrack opened up a wonderful new door to my imagination. Inspiring and hauntingly beautiful to build upon what sometimes begins with what sounds like simple notes played by a child or the Mayberry RFD Band and layers in dissonance in ways that speak to emotions as well as any score can.
I watched this movie when I was 11/12 and was terrified throughout the entire film -- until I heard this song. I have no idea why, but this song stuck with me through all of these years and still evokes powerful emotions.
SocialDissimulation The song is Jesus is coming soon, we grew up sing this in church. I did not watch the movie but when I heard the music I had to stop and sing.
I think i ate a somalian when i was there in 93 it was cooked,didnt recognize the meat.i didnt get any powers or immortality from it,lol but i love the movie,i was in the army and served with a man from arkansas he said the palm of the hand was good eating!!! Lol
I knew about this movie before I started listening to Gorillaz, and even then I loved this soundtrack. But learning who composed it was a happy surprise. 😊
One of the greatest soundtracks ever to go with one the finest horror movies you will ever see. Robert Carlyle, Guy Pearce and remaining cast make this film one to watch. Please watch and you will not be disappointed
Watched this for the first time as a kid visiting family in Chile. I was so terrified of this movie watching it at that moment. I always knew it was a masterpiece and have watched it many times since. I haven’t thought about it in a while, until my brother sent me this skateboard video part and the person used this song for his skate part. Now I want to watch it again. Super underrated soundtrack and film!
Discords: That's the beautiful purpose of this theme, which so wonderfully echoes the vast wilderness of the Rockies, and the twisted feel of this film'.
Robert Is a fantastic actor. Pretty much everything he does is so damn fantastic. The movie wasn't really funny just a little. But the movie sure was an amazing horror thriller. Best Cannibal movie in my personal opinion. Besides Silence of The lambs and the Hannibal show.
Saw this in the cinema as my mate was working there and got us free tickets all the time. Glad he did or I may never have seen this underrated gem Grear film with a great theme
Love the movie and the song........ Just found out Damn Albarn had a hand in this. Brilliant..... Kinda reminds of the Blur song SING which is also one of my all time favorites.
As a believer in Christ I find this movie wonderful. It is an epic pun on the Catholic church and their bizarre fascination on consuming the savior and drinking his blood. This song is fashioned off of an old classic by the title of "Jesus is coming soon". I enjoy this version the best. I do not require words to move me when I hear music.
The movie wasn't scary, but it was a good horror film. It was gruesome, disturbing, gory, and in a way, realistic. It is a masterpiece, especially the soundtrack. It was because of the era the movie was based in and because of the music, that this movie was even a masterpiece. If they had done the music differently or it was in a different era, the same plot would not have worked elsewhere, but it worked perfectly in unison with those two aspects. It is also a somewhat realistic, relatable, down to earth, and believable film, especially with 3+ accounts in recent history from Russia and America specifically, that had similar accidents of cannibalism in similar settings, which makes this all the more better, but also disturbing. It has a dreaded sense of melancholy, hopelessness, and realism to it, and the music made it a perfect masterpiece combined with setting, basis, lore, and the era it was set in. This is one of the greatest movies of all time, and it is sad to know it is a hidden gem with little attention drawn to it.
I saw this film on a lark. Heard nothing about it. Just went in for the hell of it. I was blown away. The director did such a fucking kick ass job with this script. One of the most underrated cult films of all time.
This Song has been stuck in my head for the last 15 years. Criminally underrated movie. A true gem.
The Score is brilliant.
Same for me.

Underrated movies full stop.
😉
It is not a horror film
I like how it evolves from a folk tune into sad orchestral music.
I like it too! Marvellous.
Yes.. bordering Cajun!
I feel that it got really good when it got to the orchestral part.
Me too I absolutely love it,it's got Damon Albarn's name written all over it.

Bad marketing. Ads sold it as some generic stoner movie.
Reminds me the d&d movie (clearly not on the same level but still same marketing issues)

It's the banjo playing in an odd 13/8 time signature while everything else plays in 4/4.

One of the best movies of the 90s directed by a British woman. In fact, it's one of a kind. Paradoxically tender and grotesque.

Oh, and hats off to Antonia Bird, R.I.P
Definitely! Hat tip and bow to the man. Rest easy and peacefully.
Well put
I saw this strange but unique movie on HBO the other night and still can't get enough of the closing song during the credits. It's freaking great.
What I don't get is why they didn't produce a couple more albums like this.

The studio didn’t know how to market it.
melancholic and cheerful ....a masterpiece
Fuck, how I love reading the comments of a great film with a great cast and a great soundtrack to boot.
:)
I don't know why this movie has not had the success it deserves.
bad marketing when it was released
Bad marketing and its also very unique, so it put loads more people off, as its not what they expected
Just not a very conventional movie that easily fits people's expectations I suppose. I think it's brilliant!
this film is a cult classic now
It was a cult classic when it was released.
@@edwardprice140 And it's a cult classic to these days!

Simplicity turns into Perfection very quickly.

Turns from simplicity into pure genius very quickly.

Ravenous and Last of the Mohicans , my favorite movies. And as an added bonus,both with great sound tracks.

Optimism coupled with realism/cautiousness I would say.
I was thinking my funeral music list and then I read the comments. It brings that out in all of us.
