This vaunted "new" chapter in the exploits of serial killer/cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter is actually the first, essentially a remake of <I>Manhunter</I>, Michael Mann's adaptation of the Thomas Harris novel in which Dr. L. is but a supporting player. But where Mann used a nervous, often ironic rock and postpunk pop score, Danny Elfman's largely orchestral soundtrack here punctuates the film's creep factor with tense arpeggios and crashing rhythms. Nothing wrong with that, per se--the old school masters succeeded following a similar tack for decades. But Elfman is no Bernard Herrmann here. In fact, there's often precious little to remind us that this is the same composer who served up such goth-modern standouts as <I>Batman</I>, <I>Nightmare Before Christmas</I>, <I>Edward Scissorhands</I>, and <I>Darkman</I>. It's a score that's masterfully atmospheric, yet strangely sterile--and one that occasionally dithers uncomfortably close to McGoth. The Enhanced CD features here include interviews with Elfman, director Brett Ratner, and star Anthony Hopkins. <I>--Jerry McCulley</I>

5 out of 5 stars MOST!.......2004-12-28

This is one of the hardest soundtrack for me to under stand because every thing is so well connected. Elfman gives smooth transtions, with feeling melody and sound. You must get my tied for my 2nd favorite Elfman soundtrack with Nightmare before Cristmas. GET BOTH!

5 out of 5 stars Delicious!.......2003-07-08

I'm a fan of danny Elfman's compositions for movies. His score was also good in Spider-Man, but this was just awesome!

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for the film!.......2002-09-28

Now before you scream at me for liking this score, let me tell you I am an AVID fan of Manhunter. I love every part of it, and I really don't mind this remake since it will be more about madman Francis Dolarhyde and his love interest Reba McClane than FBI Agent Will Graham (Dolarhyde and Reba being my favorite characters who did NOT get enough screen time in Manhunter, although they put on the best performances in the movie).
The score is one of Danny Elfman's voice, and I proudly say it's superior to Silence of the Lambs' score. The violins make sooth little sounds and then out of nowhere come violently shrieking up and down, creating intense imagination. The piano whispers like a softly spoken lullaby; listen to the first track, Logos - it is perfect for this gothic cinematic pleasure.
I won't deny at all that Manhunter had one of the best soundtracks ever - I own the soundtrack and listen to it a lot. You cannot compare Red Dragon's score to Manhunter, though. Manhunter's score is very atmospheric and features a lot of Enya-type tunes and good rock songs fit to every scene (This Big Hush was brilliantly picked for Francis and Reba's love scene), but Red Dragon's score is pure orchestral beauty. The music does have a huge "I KNEW Danny Elfman scored this" mark to it, but it is very different from his other works. This, Batman Returns and The Nightmare Before Christmas are his best works. I can barely wait to go see Red Dragon in theatres now considering how grand of a score this is.

5 out of 5 stars very agressive.......2002-09-26

This music fits well with the Harris novels about Hannibal Lector. This time around it's Danny Elfman's turn to give it a shot. Howard Shore's was simple yet hauntingly beautiful, Hans Zimmer's boardered on some classical work, but again beautiful, Elfman really gives us some great music here and I would recommend it to anyone.
