Cactus Girl (Polydor 1993)

   Carter Burwell influence did some of his touch in musical scoring and stage to the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack over the tales of Dominic Sena directing Road-Thriller movie as showing you that you cannot just go meet strangers and believing them telling the true behind lies and then, travelling around some of the remote, less populated and America’s middle of nowhere area just like the bad luck story of graduated student Brian Kessler and his photographer girlfriend Carrie Laughlin went out with their car to finishing Brian’s journalist article on serial killers psychology interests for than written as a book with film-making documentary to be offered as a book deal and further more as the materials needs to be collected; as the eyewitness or sources needs to be found and interviewed – the two couple driving from Pittsburgh to California ~ visiting some of  the most infamous murder sites around there just before meeting with psychopathic parolee Early Grayce and his girlfriend Adele whom running away from their trailer-park junkyard place and refuses the sheriff’s offering job as a janitor; almost killing the landlord for pushing them to pay the rent.

In Accelerator, Lettuce and Vodka by X or The Indians and Sheryl Crow did well too there. 

Kalifornia is a bad dream comes true for those whom receiving worst experiences to put it onto books as the proof that those things really happening for a cause in life of some lucky couple …
