Vladimir Horunzhy is a film producer and composer, a well-known jazz musician. 

What’s it like to be you? You should be asking my wife. She told me everything about me this morning. Even the things that I did not know at all about myself and didn’t even suspect that they existed. Well, there are two sides to me. The Cossack side, hence the surname. It’s the part that loves this country, this land, these landscapes. When I travel across Ukraine, everything swirls inside me! And the second part of me is the Jewish part, which I inherited after my mother. These are meticulous people who love details, meaning, art. So I am this dual individual which at times is very difficult. Well, I manage somehow and I’ve been doing this for seventy years haha.

«Firehead» is probably one of the first Hollywood militant about Soviet Union that was made in trash way.

Vladimir wrote about it on his Facebook page. The main character could even vaporize his enemies by only looking at them. True laser-eye!)) The music was also composed in hyperbolic Soviet style. <<I understood that the director and producer made Ivan to be a kind of Superman so I was playing the same rules while creating music. And apparently, it came out pretty well. Do you agree?))>> – the composer informs.

Firehead

It was easy to compose the soundtracks for ‘The Blink of the Eye’.

What physic powers are? Is it an ‘inner voice’ or maybe ‘sixth sense’)))). By the way, how many of you have ever experienced ‘déjà vu’?..

In ‘The Blink of the Eye’ film exactly the clairvoyance helps the super-soldier Sam Browning, who was born with physic powers, which come in handy when he finds himself the only one able to defend a CIA chief’s daughter Kathryn from terrorists.

Vladimir Horunzhy shares his feeling about this movie on his Facebook page.

‘ It was easy for me to compose the score for this one that turned out to be “with a bang”! You can see and hear it for yourselves if you follow the links:

The Blink of the Eye

“The Stranger Within” soundtracks are available on digital resource.

What might be scarier than the loss of the child in the crowded place? One blink of an eye and he is gone!
Tom Holland one of the best masters of the suspense/horror genre has decided to make a film about this situation. He went even further… What if that kiddo suddenly
came back 16 years later?! Or maybe this is not the same son who disappeared back then? The amazing ensemble of classy actors and phenomenal direction made this film to be a real hit!

«My task was not to &quot;put too much salt in&quot; a completely brilliant picture, but at the same time saturate it with musical themes to enhance the plot twists and turns. Tom was pleased with my musical score. This can be judged because ‘The Stranger Within’ was not our only one cooperation, we’ve also worked well together making other pictures»,-
Volodimir Horunzhy shares memories on his Facebook page.

If the music to the horror film is written professionally, you’re going to get the drizzles even without any image on the screen. Try and see for yourself…

‘The Stranger Within’ production was done by Goodman/Rosen Productions, New World Television and also by Paulette Breen Productions. The director of the film is
Tom Holland. Starring Rick Schroder as Mark, Kate Jackson as Mare and Chri Sarandon as Dan.

The Stranger Within

Children of the Corn 666: Isaac return” soundtracks are available in digital form

Vladimir Horunzhy informs about it on his Facebook page. <<Majority of my friends handed over videotapes with so-called “horror movies” in the late 90’s. At that time they learn about Freddy Krueger so it was very terrifying for them to go back to sleep every night))). But “Children of the Corn 666: Isaac return” film was no less frightening>>, – composer writes.

The directing work by Kari Skogland was pretty amazing and it is partly responsible for the incomparable atmosphere. The great master of horror stories Stephen King is an author of the original idea. John Franklin (Isaac) does a stellar performance as well as Natalie Ramsey (Hannah). The movie has all of the right elements the horror film should have – great cast, good scares, wonderful twist ending, and mysteriously thrilled soundtracks which you could listen to by clicking on the following links:
