If there's not a bunch of amazing surf mixed into the score in a creative manner, this will be bad. I understand it's probably a serious tone but a creative director would get good tunes and have their guy in charge of music shape that stuff appropriately. You could easily do remixes because typically in a surf Rock instrumental, you're not having to worry about the vocals, and can turn it into something pretty darker atmospheric if needed.

If the score doesn't have the surf sound, to me it's a failure.

I'll probably watch it on streaming though.

That's why I have hope there will be a bunch of crazy surf Rock, or at least a surf-based score. If it doesn't though, for shame.

If the soundtrack's good, could be one of the greatest movies of all time.

Theres not a bunch of surf rock. This is not that kind of movie.

It's your typical nic cage absolute feverdream. Way closer to Arcadian, Mandy, Dream Scenario, Prisoners of the Ghostland or Drive Angry, than it is to Point Break.

Not to say that it's bad, but adjust your expectations going into it.
