Review of House of 1000 Corpses (2003) by The Masked C — 03 Aug 2015
I've been a big fan of rob zombie's music for years. I even had the oppurtunity to see him live in 2012 when he was touring with marilyn manson. However....I may be a big fan of Rob Zombie as a musician I'm not a fan of him as a director.
I haven't seen Devil's Rejects and Lords of Salem but I have seen his remakes of halloween which I didn't really care for. I didn't like El Superbeasto because it looked like it was trying to do a ripoff of Ren and Stimpy's Adult Party Cartoon then an original film.
Then there is this film...this movie sucked. This movie is trying so hard to be three things, 1. a poor attempt at a grindhouse movie, 2. trying to be a ripoff of texas chainsaw massacre and the hills have eyes, 3.
trying... to...be...DISTURBING BUT IT FAILS. I've only seen this movie once. While the film may have good acting and an awesome soundtrack. The writing and the direction is poor and the film is boring.
I spent most of the time almost falling asleep and saying "WHAT IS GOING ON?! DO YOU CARE TO EXPLAIN THIS?! No? Okay." I hear the devil's rejects is a better film so if I get the chance I'll watch that movie but this.
...this is just a stupid, boring, poor attempt of a grindhouse movie that...OH WAIT! I forgot something very important that's it's biggest problem. THE FILM HAS NO PLOT OR STORY!!! The entire film is a bunch of people who are total rip offs of the sawyer family just torturing people for no reason.
THAT's IT! I'll always be a rob zombie fan but he needs to try to make a good movie. ESPECIALLY, when it comes to a crappy film like this. I still have the film in my collection it's amazing I haven't destroyed it yet.
