Ah, the music. Yet another opportunity pissed up the wall of mediocrity in this film.

It's ironic that the music played such an important part of the original, yet despite the presence of one of the finest composers to work in the industry (Angelo Badalamenti) the music is totally forgettable.

Badalamenti created some of the most memorable and original scores in American cinema and TV, notably his work on David Lynch's films and Twin Peaks. What went wrong in this case I'd love to know.

BTW, Fogger - If I were you i would get your partner's Grandma's traditions down on tape ASAP - it would be facinating to hear these, and they may jut be a trove of material that could be lost forever.
