I’ve been outspoken in many previous reviews, about how a score can sometimes be “distracting” or that it might be working too hard to make up for the film’s pacing/suspense shortcomings. While I made note of the score here (from Dana Kaproff – the musical voice behind the iconic score of 1976’s When a Stranger Calls) – it was all good. I noticed it, appreciated it and then fell back into the film. Noticing a score without being taken out of the film by it – is truly a fine line to walk – a trick Kaproff pulls off perfectly.
February 4, 2019 Amityville Murders With a score by Dana Kaproff (When a Stranger Calls 1979, Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee documentary 2016) that is truly ominous
Dana Kaproff’s musical score, which seems to take some cues from Bernard Herrmann, is never overbearing and adds greatly to the sense of creeping unease
Backed by a great music score by Dana Kaproff
Thanks to a fine cast, a rich and atmospheric score by Dana Kaproff, and astute direction by co-writer Fred Walton, Stranger is unquestionably a scary film.
The score by Dana Kaproff pulls out all the stops, or rather strings to squeeze and enhance every sinew of suspense.
