As someone says in the comments it sounds (in places) quite like Bernard Herrmann's score of Psycho.

George Martin:
I was very much inspired by Bernard Herrmann, in particular a score he did for the Truffaut film Farenheit 451. That really impressed me, especially the strident string writing. When Paul told me he wanted the strings in Eleanor Rigby to be doing a rhythm it was Herrmann's score which was a particular influence.
Geoff Emerick:
On Eleanor Rigby we miked very, very close to the strings, almost touching them. No one had really done that before; the musicians were in horror.

If this is the closest we're ever going to get to a restoration of Let It Be, I guess I'll take it.
