Dark City Soundtrack - Memories Of Shell Beach

Dark City is a 1998 movie written by Alex Proyas, Lem Dobbs and David S. Goyer, and directed by Proyas. It stars Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jennifer Connelly. While not a box office hit, it has a considerable reputation. Film critic Roger Ebert is a well-known fan of the movie, having rated it with four stars out of fourTemplate:Ref and naming it the best film of 1998Template:Ref. Ebert uses it in his teaching, and also appears on a commentary track for the DVD.

The story begins with a man waking in a hotel room with no memory, which soon proves to be but one of many troubles. He is being sought by police, who believe him to be a serial killer, and also by a group of mysterious men with psychokinetic powers. Furthermore, something appears to be wrong with the world at large: time, memory, and identity behave in unusual ways. The film is dedicated to the memory of Dennis Potter, which may be considered a useful indicator of the style of the story. The style of the film might also be said to owe something to Expressionism and film noir, and may be considered neo-noir.

The soundtrack by Trevor Jones blends in with the movie so well. I cant imagine how this movie would of turned out without the work of Trevor Jones as score composer.

Notice how the 'strangers' in this movie slightly resemble the 'cenobites' from the Hellraiser movies.

You could sort of do a kind of creepy VR film family tree with Dark City, Thirteenth Floor, all the way through Total Recall to Inception, Matrix, etc. Evolved into its own tech noir subgenre.
