Gérald Fried - A Killer In The Family (Music from the Original Score) (2025) [Hi-Res]

This album marks the world premiere release of the previously unavailable score composed by Gerald Fried. The music was written for the 1983 made-for-television crime thriller "A Killer in the Family". The film tells the dark story of a domineering father (portrayed by the legendary Robert Mitchum) who enlists his three sons (including young James Spader and Eric Stoltz) to help him break out of prison. However, the family reunion quickly descends into tragedy as the father's sociopathic nature is revealed.

Gerald Fried's music expertly underscores the film's mounting tension and psychological horror. The score combines suspenseful orchestral passages, unsettling melodies, and dramatic themes that reflect the complex inner lives of the characters and the inevitability of a violent conclusion. This release offers a new appreciation for the composer's work and his contribution to the movie's oppressive atmosphere.
