THE FURY

Music by John Williams
Returning to the phenomenon of telekinesis made popular in his 1976 sensation Carrie, De Palma is back two years later with his gloriously of control The Fury. When the government agents kidnap a boy with occult powers, his father finds two women, also endowed with supernatural gifts, to help get him back in this visually breathtaking and poetically violent De Palma classic.
“Gripping, goofy, gonzo cinema, among the best of its kind.”-The L Magazine
“…it’s a movie on the move, which gives Williams ample opportunity to strut his stuff–notably when De Palma slows everything to an agonizing crawl for a breath-holding rescue…Speaking of the very end, it’s there where the two virtuoso talents really mesh…a climax so over the top it hardly requires music, but Williams pushes the body-shredding thrills to the limit, a shriek of Gothic/sci-fi delirium. Many of Williams’ scores are mind-blowing; this one literally is. – Robert Cashill, Pop-Dose
Introduced by Humanizing the Vacuum Critic Alfred Soto
