A Nightmare on Elm Street - 07/10 - Review of Jason FLZ, submitted at
Steve Jablonsky has tackled the horror genre before, with 2009's Friday the 13th. I will admit that, while he may have over-used the synthesizer sound, I did partially enjoy the score as it was fairly effective. With Nightmare on Elm Street, another one of Platinum Dune's mindless remakes, Jablonsky manages to craft an interesting blend of synthesizers and orchestra.

Fans of Charles Bernstein's theme from the original films will be slightly dissapointed that the theme itself is only hinted at. Jablonsky's new theme, however, is surprisingly well made. The use of violins really add some interesting texture to the material. As far as creepy goes, alot of the music shifts between distorted choral ensembles and strange ambiences to orchestrations. Jablonsky's primary motif for Freddy is a simple rising and falling note that works effectively. Unfortunately, this is also where the album falls apart. Most of the tracks are almost completely identical with this style. The music never feels like it develops and essentially, the album becomes boring about halfway through.

To be fair, Jablonsky actually tackles this project with a good balance of orchestral and synth. The score could have gone more the route of other horror material floating around today which rely on 'sound' instead of actual music. Unfortunately Jablonsky never tries to throw in anything fully interesting or new that could distinguish this album from the rest (unless you count the ugly interruption of heavy metal in 'One More Nap'.) Overall, Nightmare on Elm Street may not be one of the best horror scores out there, but it does do it's job at being creepy and suspenseful all the same.
