Summary: Great Job Mr Zombie
Review: The mark of a great movie is: you are sitting in the movie theater, all by yourself at the end wishing there were more to watch, as the cleanup crew comes through you realize; that's the end of the movie and no amount of crying is going to bring the movie back up on the screen.
This movie was very beautiful visually, I will be camping out to buy the DVD when it comes out so I can see Mr. Zombie's vision unleashed in all it's glory.

Summary: Trick or Treat?
Review: It wasn't THAT bad! If you want to see a really awful movie rent "Showgirls." This film may not be a classic, and it may not be a critically acclaimed art-house gem, but it's still fun. If you can't enjoy a fun film every now and then what's the point of even going to the movies? I don't understand those who criticize this film for being so graphic and gory (which really, it isn't) and for being so bad. First of all - were you expecting "Citizen Kane?" Come on. And secondly, you should know from the title alone that there's going to be some mayhem and murder - why would you go to a movie like this expecting a feel-good, life-affirming motion picture? Yes, the film is disturbing but no more so than any episode of MTV's The Real World. Who directed this? Rob Zombie. Any person with half a knowledge of pop culture knows that this man has a fond spot for the strange and unusual. Pay attention people! Gosh. Anyway, this movie was much better than I expected, and much better than it is being given credit for. Rob Zombie has a kinetic, exhilarating flair for visual hocus-pocus and he does a fine job helming this little flick - I was very impressed with the feel of this film - from the way it milked horror movie plot lines to the use of soundtrack, camera angles and color and lighting. The film is a throwback to the splatter film conventions of the 70s and the storyline never really advances past a gross-out urban legend/"Texas Chainsaw" hybrid, but Rob keeps a few tricks up his sleeve and even tosses in some sci-fi elements. If nothing else, the movie manages to create a style all it's own, and it did indeed keep me interested. I give it credit for that. The cast is hilariously offbeat and Sheri Moon is especially memorable as one of the psychotic killers.

Review: I am a HUGE horror film fan! My favorite movie is Night Of The Living Dead. I am interested in seeing this movie but I would like to know from others who have seen it if it is better than NOTLD, worse, or about the same?? I am not a Rob Zombie fan but am a "zombie" fan! In MY opinion, George Romero rocks!!

Review: OKay,
I was waiting for a long time among others to see this movie. Now i'm not the biggest fan of rob zombie's music but the guy can write a horror movie. How many "Good" horror movies are out there that hit theatres? "The Ring"? c'mon now that's a thriller... "Darkness Falls"?? that's just .... What happened to the old horror movies? the good ones.. The first couple of Halloweens? The Nightmare on elm streets before they got really silly? That's not even mentioning some of the "B" horror flicks out there. What rob Zombie accomplishes in this film will hopefully save the horror genre.
It's funny! It's not gory gory... But violent enough to keep the gore kids happy.. And the plot is so [messed] up and that's just how it should be.
"Horror" has evolved into something not even worth watching anymore. House of 1000 Corpses brings it back where it should have stayed. Sid Haig is the man and Karen Black is great. thy are all great. C'mon you're not Ebert and Roeper.. Don't look nto this movie so seriously.. It's a great film that we all needed... So stop your whining...and just enjoy.. there may never be another one like it...
Great Job Rob Z.! I hope you keep makin' em!

Summary: Good and solid for the most part
Review: This is truly a good horror flick. It has the gruesome feel and nasty scenes that any should have. I do feel much of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 in this movie which takes away from its originality, but overall, a good scare and gross enough to match.

Summary: A Breath Of Fresh Air
Review: I'm not a big fan of Rob Zombie's music, but I've always admired the man's taste in horror films. At a concert I saw, he showed scenes from Fulci films and such on his big screen, and I thought that was the coolest part of the concert. Well, for his first film, he certainly tried to make it all he could. If you're looking for another I Know What You Did Last Summer, you'd better hightail it outta the theater, coz Zombie has made the kind of film that he enjoys; The kind of gruesome, schlocky film that us horror fanatics have grown up with and loved. Because of this, many people just aren't gonna like this film, but that's okay, coz I'm sure Zombie himself knows that this movie is going to appeal only to a certain crowd of people: People like him.....and myself. There's no message, no moral play, no real scares for that matter. The movie's just messed up and gruesome. It's got a great cast. Zombie didn't take the easy route and rely on young, fresh star power for the film's success. He uses veteran, cult horror actors like Sid Haig, Karen Black and Bill Moseley(and if you don't know who they are, shame on you!). The plot "borrows" very heavily from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films(Part 2 had Bill Moseley in pretty much the same role, only crazier!) and Spiderbaby(which had Sid Haig). Zombie had to compromise to get this picture out by cutting out many scenes deemed too gruesome and disturbing for our fragile little minds. This would have awarded him an NC-17 rating-THE TRUE MOVIE KILLER. Well, I went to see the trimmed version to support Zombie and hopefully get him some cash back to release the version he wants on dvd. Plus, I wanted a taste of what the film was gonna be like. I'm not sure if it was as good as everything I've read in the last few years, but I really admire the ballsy move of making this, knowing he was going to have alot of people saying, "Boy, that was terrible!" My only complaint is the little artsy touches he throws in, in the form of Oliver Stone-esque flashes of stock footage and grainy 16mm film. It looks too much like he's trying to make a rock video or he's trying out all the cool little toys on his camera. That's a small complaint though, and you get used to it pretty fast. So, if you wanna experience a cinematic time warp that'll take make you feel like you're back at the drive-in or your local run down/small/yucky/sticky/bad acoustics theater(the kind you could actually smoke in, GOD FORBID), House Of 1000 Corpses is the best real horror flick to come along in a long time......and I doubt we'll see one like this again for quite some time. So, get off your behind and see it.

Summary: God Awful Crap
Review: What a horrible film to have been waiting for. Since I first saw the trailer in theaters, what, 3 or 4 years ago, I have been dying to see this movie. Finally it comes out and it is savagely abusive to my psyche - not because it's violent, not because it's foul, not because it's so in my face, but because it just quite literally sucks. The violence isn't even that gratuitous: what they show is conveniently hidden behind set props and shot with home video or with photographic effects. I hope to everything holy that Rob Zombie releases a director's cut on DVD because I know this can't be what he had envisioned. The few high points in the film, such as Sid Haig and a memorable shot or two (high-angle execution, for one), are overshadowed by the plodding, incompetent "plot" and the altogether unsatisfying experience you get out of the movie, among other things. Horrible.

Summary: Quite possible the worst the movie ever made.
Review: True or False? House of 1,000 Corpses was the biggiest waste of 90 minutes ever. True. I love Robe Zombie, I love Horror movies whis is why I wanted to see this one so bad. I was severely dissapointed. It wasn't sacry, it wasn't even all that gorey. In fact, the only reason that this film warents an "R" rating is beause of if over use of 4 letter words and the amout of topless women. Everyone who came out the theater had the same blank look on their face and were muttering the same words, " i can't believe that I just wasted [money] on that." Don't waste your money or time on House of 1,000 Corpses.
