Were there any other man-eater films that even came close to these two?
LOL...touche. I guess I was thinking 90's man-eater films.

The Ghost and the Darkness. While I can't say this film is absolutely terrible, the script cannot decide whether it wants to tell a true story, create an archetypical adventure or a horror movie. It's all of them and neither. And here lies the problem. Douglas feels sort of out of place in this (fictional, I was told) role of seasoned hunter. Val Kilmer is, on the other hand, quite likeable. The score is top notch, bringing just enough balance so that it satisfies all the requirements of its inconsequential script. It has some nice ethnic colours but doesn't succumb to the temptation of trying to convey so-called "authenticity". It would have failed badly, anyway.

I consider The Ghost and the Darkness and The Edge to be the best "man-eater" films ever. Minimal to none CGI. The terror that fills you when the main characters are in their path...damn!
The scene where Val Kilmer brings an untested rifle with him while hunting the lion remains one of my favorite theatrical experiences. When it went CLICK!, the guy sitting in front of us says, "OH SHIT!!!". We all felt it, he said it lol.
Or the scene from The Edge where Anthony Hopkins is fishing in the river and the camera just sort of reveals the bear staring at him...you just get that sick, sinking feeling inside when Goldsmith's theme is playing at that moment. "OH SHIT!!!" indeed.

The Dead Space scores are appropriate in their respective games, but are a tough standalone listen which is understandable.
I remember they gave me almost a headache.
You may be right. I'm fresh off of playing them so I'm all about their scores right now. I doubt I could just pick them up and listen to them in 6 months.
For the moment though....they're terrifyingly fascinating lol

"Lacrimosa" from Dead Space 2 is an amazing, dark, emotional piece to experience. It's cello-delightful.

This score sounds so familiar to me and yet I can't place it. It starts at the 18:40 mark and ends around 19:16. Ring any bells?
