 | | The Others: (Alejandro Amenabar) Only once in a while does a mainstream film feature a single writer, director, and composer all in one, and this is the case with Alejandro Amenabar, whose English speaking and scoring debut is this summer's late horror hit, The Others. |
 | | Questions are always raised as to whether or not one man should even attempt to write, direct, and score the same film, because such efforts have often led to disasterous outcomes in the past (though John Ottman remains one of the few composer/filmmakers with a chance to make it work). |
 | | Alejandro Amenabar's The Others is among the kind of horror scores meant simply for the establishment of an echoing, minimalistic atmosphere, with an occasional burst of orchestral fright. |
