Free Music Notes for Doctor Mordrid / Demonic Toys
Free Music Review: My jury is still out on Richard Band.
Hit: 4 Stars
I still cannot tell if Richard Band is a talented film composer or just a hack who had the good luck to have a brother with several movie studios to employ him. Of course I speak of Charles Band and his Empire and Full Moon productions. This disc contains Richard Band's scores for Doctor Mordrid and Demonic Toys, two productions from Full Moon's Paramount funded era. Doctor Mordrid is really just a clone of the comic book hero Dr. Strange and Demonic Toys is yet another toy themed horror in the Puppet Master vein. The incidental music for both sounds more or less like all the other scores Band did for Full Moon at the time and lack distinctive enough character to make them really all that memorable (though the main themes for both are nice). Fans of Full Moon, Empire Pictures and/or the Family Band (is there really a difference?) will no doubt want this in their collections. Being out of print this pretty much makes it a semi-essential collectable for fans of the still struggling b-movie studio - and they are out there, I am one of them and find others all the time online. However, fans of movie music in general may want to stick with Richard Band's scores for Puppet Master, Re-Animator, From Beyond, and/or The Pit and the Pendulum, as those are better examples of his work. Four stars on the Full Moon Fanatic scale, three on the film music fan scale. Recommended to all the FMFs out there.
