One of the horror genre's "most widely read critics" (Rue Morgue # 68), an "accomplished film journalist" (Comic Buyer's Guide #1535), and the award-winning author of Horror Films of the 1980s (2007), The Rock & Roll Film Encyclopedia (2007) and Horror Films of the 1970s (2002), John Kenneth Muir, presents his blog on film, television and nostalgia, named "one of the Top 100 Film Studies Blogs" on the Net.
I have this film on dvd and will re-watch it this weekend with a new perspective. I think films set in a futuristic landscape use classical music because contemporary music is easily dated.
