I always liked the score by Joan Shakespeare. This tried to be a mood piece rather than your standard horror film. Amazon.UK had a listing for it a few years ago but it got yanked really quick. This was the kind of movie that needed time to build the atmosphere of slow dread and mood. There is scene in the beginning where Sylvester stumbles out of his Hotel at night and its dark, then its switches to a day for night shot that is very bright. I've always felt that he entered The Servants of Nights version of night. Its dark to everyone else but bright to those who are of the night. A lot of the subtle effects of whats real and what isn't is good. The Vampie Marissa passes by in front of a mirror and Sylvester only sees himself and not her. A good mood piece for those who like this king of film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252529341676634423noreply@blogger.com
