Horrible? Hardly. Visually stunning, which can make up for a lot of other flaws (my eyes hurt from visual overload when I got home). I have to think that the director(s?) did LOTS of acid & nitrous at some point in their life, because they perfectly captured that incredibly altered sense of time which occurs when (ab)using those drugs in combination - the casings hitting the marble especially. And I'm always a sucker for a phildickian storyline. But the music sucked, and sucked hard. The cliched overblown faux classical during the helicopter scene was annoying to the point of distraction. I actually had to stick my fingers in my ears during the end credits - it was that bad. I can't help but compare this movie with The Fifth Element, which had a much less thought-provoking storyline, but much much better music, which interacted w/ the visuals. I actually bought that soundtrack, and I still listen to it. I wound up seeing 5th Element something like 5 or 6 times, but because of the music I'm much less inclined to repeat on The Matrix.

I think Carl Craig must be a Goblin fan - there's a track named "Suspiria" on his latest. Seems like I have the original soundtrack on vinyl somewher - a masterpiece.
