3 stars This is the soundtrack of George Romero's classic nasty gore movie. Consequently some songs are directly in the vein of Goblin's proggy eccentricities, including bizarre arrangements and some others are totally reserved for the film and off course difficult to listen to outside of the context. The introduction theme figures among Goblin's ultimate classics, it delivers a massive, lugubrious atmosphere for doom bass lines, scary synth melodies and heavy drums. The title track takes back the same gloomy ambiences but put it into a more bombastic, groovy dimension (including nice percussion parts). "Safari" cannot be heard without watching the film (pseudo African percussion sequences), same thing for the absolutely kitsch "Torte in faccia". "Ai Margini Della Follia" is an efficient cheesy drumming fusion trip. "La Caccia" is an other dynamic kitschy synth projection, including a catchy melody . A lot of funny moments and super freaky instrumentals (without being creepy outside the main theme). Not as essential as "Suspiria" or "Red Blood" but definitely cool stuff for fans Globin-esque heavy horroscapes.
