Rating: Summary: ooooh...that was scary Review: If you are anything like me, and let's hopw for your sake that you are not, Horror movies lost their ability to shock somewhere around the 6th grade. However, there are some elements of this film that just stick with you, worm their way into your brain, and stay there for awhile. The thing that sets this movie apart from other slash-N-Hack T+A shock fests is tone and suspense. Of course we are not talking "Citizen Kane" here, but the cinematography is spooky and even though it looks like the final editing was done by a Benny Hana chef, it's not as annoying as it could be. It's almost attractive in a "Natural Born Killers" way. Anyway, I see no reason why you should not buy it when it comes out on the twelfth. I'll be waiting for it.
Rating: Summary: Zombie raises horror from the dead. Review: Okay freaks - forget every horror film you've ever seen, and get ready for 'House of 1000 Corpses'. This masterpiece from Rob Zombie leaves the rest for dead! The bar has been raised to new hights as Rob Zombie ressurects this decaying genre. This is the quintessential horror film: suspenseful, disturbing, bizarre, and full of black humour. This film is truly a quality and innovative piece of of cinema, that can easily be compared to the likes of 'Pulp Fiction' as a truly revolutionary film. Regardless of whether you are familiar with Rob Zombie or his music (I am certainly not) you will be in awe of his massive talent for writing and directing. I can't wait for his next installment of cinematic genius.
Rating: Summary: Another entry in the WTF catagory Review: This is the epitemy of a WTF movie. The only way a movie could get any weirder is if MAraylin Manson wrote, produced, Directed and Starred in his only Movie. House of 1000 corpses is about a group a teens who stop at a gas station ran by a clown. He has a ride that explans about serial Killers. Well the teens learn about the local legend Dr. Satan and decide to go investigate. From there they are taken down a trip into madness where they get captured by this inbred family who are obsessed with Halloween and human corpses. As they are picked off one by one they meet Dr. Satan and witness stuff that drives them mad as well as some really weird stuff. The problem with this movie is that it is so very weird. It is to weird. There is a limit to how much one can include in a movie and keep it decent. With this it is so much that it detracts from the overall experience. About halfway through the plot just went out the window and you are watching graphic images that loosly stay with the lot and this includes the inbred family, mad scientist, zombies and cyborgs. Overall this is a WTF movie at it's best. However it is so weird that it makes movies such as Strangeland seem somewhat normal.
Rating: Summary: Go, Rob Zombie! Review: House of 1000 Corpses reminded me of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Funhouse, as directed by Oliver Stone. Zombie definitely has talent as a director, but the material was just too tired (for me) to rate five stars. If you like horror, and you like Rob Zombie, then 'House' is definitely a keeper. I have a feeling that if he doesn't catch "sequelitis" Zombie could have a good directing career ahead of him.
Rating: Summary: offencive and unnecasary!!! Review: as a fan of the genra i am appald that this was ever released. it surprises me that a fine company like lions gate would even deal with swill like this. the scenes and acts depicted in this film are grotescue and not needed. the story had potential but it went nowhere. the plot got lost in the gore and the decent actors talents werer drowned by screams! i would recomend that fans of the genra stick to clasics such as dawn of the dead and house of wax among many other options. in 20 years this is the only film that made me leave the theater before it was over. i cant believe this recieved an R rating!
Rating: Summary: GREAT MOVIE Review: Okay if you voted a 1 its because you cant see the genous behind Rob's work. Hes a old school B movies and thats why this movie wasent that scary. Dont see it cause you want a horror flick see it for the B movie style and the comdey.
Rating: Summary: The greatest homage film no one will see Review: Clearly here what we have is a lack of common sense of the part of any bad reviews. HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES! Does this sound like your everyday corperate slasher with cute little teens? It's one of the smartest films made in a good long time because you don't watch the film, you FEEL it, you're thrown right into the middle of this massacre and no explaining needs to be made. It uses gritty and foul film textures to seem as trashy as possible, because this isn't an ocsar-nom. This is a trailer-park nightmare! It gets you back to the good ole days of how horror was in the 70's. A cast of cult icons and some new faces give way to a wonderful contrast and though over-the-top, still gets under your skin. It's a instant underground hit that will never be accepted by main-stream and i couldn't be happier about that...
Rating: Summary: WOW!!! Review: This movie will DEFINATELY keep you on the edge of your seat!!!!! Definatley worth watching!
Rating: Summary: Rob Zombie knows how to make a movie! Review: Rob Zombie is a horror genius. Finally, a break from slasher flicks and crud like that. A true 70's horror. Totally sickening and disgusting, I LOVE IT!
Rating: Summary: First time in my life that I walk out of a movie theater Review: I can NOT believe what I'm reading. When I saw the movie, I thought I was being robbed. This has GOT to be the dumbest and stupidest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I walked out, for the first time in my life, in the middle of the movie (35 minutes). Characters, script, story, everything about this movie is not scary, nor was it entertaining. I thought, movies like this shouldn't even be allowed to play in theaters... bottom line, worst [money] I've ever lost in my life. (I didn't walk out earlier, because I wanted to finish my pop corn)... I feel sorry for the poeple who give 4 or 5 stars to this movie,; they should be sent back to the year 1623( you figure it out why I wrote 1623)
