Review

The first eight tracks on this disc are rock and pop, including songs from Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians, Don McLean, and the Temptations. The last six are from the pen of John Williams. The music literally haunts you as you watch the movie. It's just as effective here. ~ Tavia Hobart, All Music Guide
