Malice: (Jerry Goldsmith) With a high caliber cast and the same stylistically gloomy photography that Gordon Willis provided for the films in the franchise of The Godfather, the 1993 thriller Malice scratches and claws in its attempt to mimic the intellectual complexities of a genuine Alfred Hitchcock thriller.
Essentially a tamer, less palpably erotic recycling of Jerry Goldsmith's influential Basic Instinct, Malice assembles the same core elements -- ominous piano, stiletto sharp bursts of strings and bubbling electronics chief among them -- but fails to generate the same shock value, effectively rendering the score pointless.
