1993 Soundtrack – Sliver

Sliver is a 1993 American erotic thriller film based on the Ira Levin novel of the same name about the mysterious occurrences in a privately owned New York high-rise sliver building. Phillip Noyce directed the film, from a screenplay by Joe Eszterhas. Because of a major battle with the MPAA (which originally gave the film an NC-17 rating), the filmmakers were forced to make extensive reshoots before release. These reshoots actually necessitated changing the killer’s identity. The film stars Sharon Stone, William Baldwin, and Tom Berenger. When he signed on to direct the film, Noyce remarked, “I liked the script a lot. Or at least, I liked the idea of jumping on the Joe Eszterhas bandwagon.”

Sliver: Music from the Motion Picture is a soundtrack album for the 1993 film Sliver. It peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified gold by the RIAA on December 17, 1993. In 2020 the original score by Howard Shore was released with a limited of 1000 units.
