Original soundtrack from TV treatment of Stephen King short story, directed by Donald P. Borchers, starring David Anders, Kandyse McClure. Jonathan Elias (who scored original 1984 theatrical movie) reprises main theme, augments with new action material. Nathaniel Morgan co-composes. Score is interesting with great great meld of tonal ideas, aggressive action, dynamic percussion, spooky chorus. Clean recording another big asset. Small liability: Bare-bones packaging offers no info on project, contributions of two composers, conductor or recording venue.
