Rating: Summary: I would have gien this film a ten... Review: I'm going to get this brief. I have seen thousands of thousands horror films. I'm also a big Rob fan... I dig his work in other mediums, and I've seen and enjoyed the videos he's directed for himself. This may, and probaly is the best horror movie ever. I can't wait for the directors cut...
Rating: Summary: Classic Horror Review: After waiting so long for this movie to be released to theaters, I realized it was well worth the wait. I had read reviews when the movie had first come out and they were all very bad reviews, saying that the movie is not worth anyone's time. All I heard was "If you're not a fan of Rob Zombie, you're going to think that the movie sucks." Well, I'm not really a Rob Zombie fan, and I thought the movie was great. It was very gory, and the whole "Who's your daddy" scene was twisted. With the types of "horror" movies that are being released today, everyone is starting to lose their sense of what a REAL horror movie is. THIS is a real horror movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes to see people getting tortured in sick and twisted ways. Great movie...
Rating: Summary: Great Movie Review: It's about time someone had the ... to make a movie like this. If you grew up in the 70's (like I did) or you are a fan of old style horror, this is the movie for you. Go buy the DVD you won't be disapointed. I hope there is a directors cut since I know alot was cut to release it in the movies.
Rating: Summary: 4 1/2 STARS, SHERRI MOON provided most of the entertainment Review: Sherri Moon's character 'Baby' was great. She was very unique, charming, happy and sadistic. All her scenes were very entertaining. She is very talented. Bill Mosley's character (Otis, I believe was his character's name)is a David Koresh-type cult leader of the family: evil and interesting and probably a condemned soul.The movie has four teenagers who's car tire is blow out on October 30-Halloween eve, staying at the sick-o family house while there car gets fixed, they enquire about Dr. Satan while eating dinner, then being entertained. When they leave they get taken hostage. Some are cut-up, and the others are saved to be "sacficed" on Halloween night. The best horror scene was with Sherri Moon's character, the rest of the "horor" scenes in the underground cave on the Halloween night sacrifice could have been better and more suspenseful and scary. The could have done something completely different. This is by for the best horror film I've seen probably ever. It is the most entertaining, thanks to Sherri Moon's many different scenes: "I thought you were all about team spirit, you've done {____} to cheer me up since you've been here" she said to the mutilated and bound cheerleader "I' going to ask you one question, if you get it right I'll let you go, if you get it wrong--YOU'RE {______}" She's happily trotting along like she in a wedding procession as they're carrying a body to be a burnt sacrifice Plus many other scenes. The movie does lack suspense,scare and shock value, but it is very enjoyable and entertaining.
Rating: Summary: So you wanna be a psycho? Review: First off I'm not going to waste your time by telling you about the entire movie. If you're here then you've probably seen it and if not you don't want me to ruin it for you. This movie is cut-and-dry madness and I love it. What else would you expect from the Master of Mayhem(Rob Zombie)? If you are in to "real" horror movies then this is a must have to compliment your collection, if you're looking for something like "Scream" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer" then move along and forget you ever heard of this movie. If you watched it you would probably have to be commited shortly after. This is not "Nightmare on Elm Street" or "Friday the 13th" either, it's more like watching an unedited documentary on Ed Gein, the Manson Family, or a band of cannibals. However, if you know what you are getting yourself into and can wrap your mind around this movie enough to realize that it could and probably has or is happening somewhere in this country in real life then you will find it hilariously horror-filled. Bravo Mr. Zombie, I only hope that a Director's Cut version will be released so that I can see what they made you cut to obtain that R-rating(which, by the way, is not due to alot of nudity like most horror movies). [PS-I also recommend Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation]
Rating: Summary: HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES ROCKED Review: I have heard way to much complaining about House of 1000 Corpses. I went and saw with a couple of my friends.I thought the movie rocked. I loved how Rob made the movie so good,had some disturbing scenes, and made the characters completely insane. I mean the scene were Tiny is trying to feed one of the victims is funny. And then Tiny just sits there and eats the cereal himself. I loved the movie. I thought it was funny and scary. But over all for Rob Zombie to FINALLY come out with a kick ass horror movie rocked. I thought some scenes were so funny that me and my friend made two old people leave!! Now,I thought it was funny. If your movie can make people get up and leave cause they are so disgusted by it, that means you did good. So, in conclusion...I give my hat off to Rob Zombie for writing this movie and making this movie and putting out in Theaters! I loved it. And if you don't like it, then maybe YOU don't really watch that many horror movies and don't understand them! The cast rocked,and so did everything else in the movie! I suggest you go rent it when it comes out on DVD and Video!!
Rating: Summary: been done a 100 times before, but better Review: Well I finally saw House of 1000 corpses, the semi-new movie from Rob Zombie. And was on my way to a horror feast that I was hoping to enjoy. Well I was sadly wrong, this movie holds no novelty with me. It clearly is trying too hard to be a great, and it just falls face first in demeaning such a profound genre. Basically the movie is about these 4 teenagers who are venturing across the country to write a book about obscure and interesting side stores and what not. After journeying for a while, they come across this carnival like gas station. It has a freak show tour, so they hop aboard. They then learn about the legend of Doctor Satan, and are instantly interested in this man of gore. Blah blah blah, they then come across the copycat leather-face family. And then they are all butchered. Kay so I gave away the whole movie, oh well I was meant to! so you do not even waste your time spending any money on this crap movie. All right first of all Rob clearly copied every b horror movie in the industry. What he failed to do was create any suspense or actual horror. Everything was slap stick and pre-determined, that it took away any suspense that was trying to be built. The only thing that could of saved this movie, was gore. Yes even plot less horror movies can get away without a bad review if they throw in complete over the top gore. This movie had no gore, I saw no gore. Sure I saw blood, no real gore. This movie wasn't gorey, wasn't scary and wasn't worth my time.
Rating: Summary: My hats off to Rob Zombie! Review: When brought to my attention, this movie sounded along the lines of Army of Darkness; you know, with walking skeletons, and laughable acting. I was pleasantly suprised. The movie itself has a somewhat shakey plot, but the type of person who would find this an incredible movie would enjoy such things as innuendo, eclecticity, and suspenseful violence, than the plot is somewhat irrelevant. The beginning was the most confusing, in which you are introduced to the man in the lonely ole' gas station in the middle of nowhere that wears face paint like a clown. Along side this gas station is a haunted house of sorts, in which the "clown" runs. After two men come rushing through the doors with pistols in their hands, and threats pouring out of their mouths, you begin to see the superiority of this "clown", when he cold-heartedly shoots both men, leaving them lying on the floor, dying. After the somewhat unsettling sight of the gunshot into the camera, you find yourself meeting a group of teenagers, driving cross country searching for the most unique and interesting sites all around the country. And of course, like in any good cult-classic horror flick, they encounter the "clown", at the lil' ole' lonely gas station. After inquiring about a local legend, they set off into the night to find a tree. A tree where a supposed maniac made famous with his killings. On their brave journey, their tires "mysteriously" become flat. Hmm, what should they do? But follow a young, gorgeous woman who shows up to give them a hand... Once meeting this strange woman, their luck goes from involuntarily incidental, to completly worse than your ability to imagine. From strange family members, to immoral rituals, this woman has more to hide than these roadies would like to find out. I'm reluctant to give away the exotic, and shocking, yet mesmorizing climatic scenes that follow from this point, for they are far too well mastered for an intermediate writer such as myself to even begin to describe. I will say this; if you enjoy such films as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and such series' as Tales from the Crypt, and The Outer Limits, you'd deceive your inner-cult spirit screaming to get out, if you neglect this flick. Intesity, suspense, thrill, fear, massochism, mystery; masterpiece. Rob Zombie, my hats off to you.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Mind Candy Review: This is not about good acting or good plot, it's about a movie that will make your mind struggle to believe what your seeing. There was so much going on the screen that you don't dare turn away. I loved it. I thought the story was great and the unusual music going on with the death scenes was brilliant! If I was one of the kids they had captured I would have wanted to join the family.This is what a horror movie should be like. Bravo Rob Zombie. Golf klaps all around.
Rating: Summary: THE MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER.....AHHH YUMMY Review: A film like this only comes around once every 5 years or so. A absolute cult classic with the first viewing. Great shots of cinemataghaphy in the film. And gore galore...August 12th folks circle it on your calendar. If I could only buy one DVD for the year this would be a definite choice.
