NECRONOM IV "THE SOIL OF A MAN'S HEART IS STONIER" CDr (AOW 27)

Necronom IV deviates from the claustrophobic terror of its Alien series in order to explore the haunting death vibe of Mary Lambert's version of the Stephen King triumph Pet Sematary.  Lambert's film plays down the Satanic horror of King's novel in favor of a more atmospheric approach, and for a good chunk of the film she manages to create a stifling aura of tragedy and supernatural longing.  Some of her set pieces are particularly evocative, showcasing a feeling of distance and enchantment that plays well to King's colorful grasp of character.
Necronom IV's work here is equally enchanting and distant, a far cry from the compositions offered in the Alien works.  A vague melodicism worms its way into the cold ambiance, conjuring up the spectre of tainted soil and blistering earth, as well as a yearning born from a deep sense of failure.  This is an immersive and strangely calming piece, an elegiac drift through the nether realms.
