Now that's a good soundtrack
It's funny how imperceptibly music and sounds can hook into your emotions. I popped the soundtrack from Kill Bill Vol. 1 into my computer and started the import into iTunes. I surfed as iTunes ripped and encoded and played the CD. Track 4 is a little whistling tune called "Twisted Nerve" by Bernard Herrmann that's really quite catchy, but as soon as it started I was hit with an overwhelming sense of dread. My body sprung a million goose bumps and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. What the heck?! I focused on the song and remembered back to the movie for the scene it scored. Then I knew! This is the tune that Elle Driver whistles as she saunters down the hospital ward carrying a syringe full of poison destined for the comatose Bride's IV drip. I remembered how helpless I felt for The Bride as she laid there unable to move as death approached. Real nightmare stuff for me and obviously so with my reaction to "Twisted Nerve". Check out the soundtrack if you can and if you catch someone whistling that catchy little tune, watch your back.
