I've always loved this film and revisit it every 5-10 years or so. Only on my latest viewing though have I noticed how bloody awful the composition is. It's a real cacophony and doesn't fit with the scenes at all.
shareAnd 20 minutes into the movie the Bass (?) sounds very much like "Jaws", and this movie has Roy Scheider as well - Hmmm

I actually like the score. The music that plays when Popeye is trailing Charnier was actually on an album Don Ellis did.
shareI love the score!
Itβs dissonant, angular and gritty, like NYC in the film
The OP misses the point of the score completely. It's meant to be jarring, unnerving - the perfect accompaniment to this brutal film. It's not meant to be a pleasant listen, but to compliment the mood of the film. OP: did you you really not get that?
sharethe final composition is really eerie. Loved it.
shareIt is! πππ

I have always found it creepy. Maybe a hint at Friedkin's next project?
