The 4th Man

Spooky, elegant music from underrated Dutch film composer/jazz artist Loek Dikker (Body Parts) for the classic horror/black comedy film from Paul Verhoeven. The surreal and unpredictable story involves a neurotic writer's descent into seduction, switch-hitting, and (perhaps) the supernatural, with a grisly finish no viewer ever forgets. The music has a lush, old Hollywood flavor that pays homage to '40s Hitchcock scores, plus a few weird flourishes to keep things interesting.
