I think Neon Demon had some similarities to Drive, he tells Thump, saying*its kind of a sparse electronic score. Noting that the score is almost all synthesizer, he adds,*theres a lot of places where the music is really pushed out more into the spotlight, even more than Drive. I think I got a bigger part in the film, its flattering.
Segueing from the score to the actual film, he says, We describe the first half as a melodrama like Valley of The Dolls, and the second half is like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It doesnt seem to be a traditional horror film to me, but horror is the genre that its closest to. Speaking more about the different tones, he continues, The first half of the film was kind of romantic so theres a lot of romantic music. But then theres some cold-blooded horror stuff too and I think could be really creepy.
