Anyone else think the score for this movie is one of the most impressive in horror movie history?
The strings and piano for somber moments.
The creepy piano that gives off a spine-tingling sensation.
The chase music that has been ripped off by/inspired so many others (Scream, Nightwatch, etc).
Just pure brilliance.
I agree definately.
It's one of the few times I've become truly lost into a film and locked away from my outside environment (apparently people were talking to me throughout =\) and i think the music is part of that reason.
Not a big soundtrack buyer but i think i could make an exception for this. i love how simple and yet heart pounding it was during the tenser moments, and yet NEVER went into over the top cliche.

I don't know if anyone would agree, but the scene right as he pops up over the stall and hangs her... that score right there always reminded me of James Cameron's Score in Aliens.

I've always loved the score to this movie, especially that plays as MJ and Helen uncover the truth about the killings. Very hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck stuff.

It's one of the best scores ever, and Christopher Young's best to date. The addition of the opera music that appears throughout is also impressive, as it usually accompanies the film's more disturbing scenes and works as a contrast against the dark material....
Stop saying things!!

Absolutely! I always thought it was an incredible soundtrack for any film, not just genre. It adds so much to the film. At the very end, on the roof, the piano theme quietly starts and makes you soar in emotion and amplifies a simple, routine ending. When Helen looks over to wounded MJ, with the piano theme playing in the background, you just feel the closeness that the women feel having been through this ordeal. The score always reminded me of Hans Zimmer's work. He is incredibly gifted in scoring the genre films (Hannibal, for example) that you can experience more than just the thrills of the film.
