Review of The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009) by Steven L — 11 Sep 2009
This movie is based off a segment from Rob Zombie's comic book that he had out around the time of "The Devil's Rejects" (though I can't remember the name of it). This movie was also made 4 years ago and has been waiting for a release.
The story is kind of generic, but overly funny. It follows El Superbeasto a man who's job isn't really described, but in the beginning of the movie he's making a porn movie. He teams with his sister Suzi X (voiced by Zombie's wife Sheri Moon Zombie) in stopping Dr.
Satan (voiced by Paul Giamatti) from taking a wife and taking over the world. The movie is good, however it felt like a borderline porno film for quite a while. There is a TON of nudity and adult themes in this movie.
Two scenes I thought were overdoing it involved a porn being made and the scene where Velvet Von Black (voiced by Rosario Dawson) was introduced. This movie feels like nothing Zombie has done before (he produced, co-wrote and directed this), but it's a cool movie with some nods to his other films.
Bill Moseley and Sid Haig voice their characters from "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects" and at the end of the movie there is a performance from Banjo & Sullivan which was the musical group from "The Devil's Rejects".
Also there are tons of nods to other horror films like "Halloween", "Alien", "The Shining" and "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" to name a few.
