Review of The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009) by Craig H — 22 Sep 2009
Decidedly NOT for children, this animated musical is from the mind of Rob Zombie. Equal parts Ren & Stimpy, Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the 1960's & 70's, Foster's Home for Imaginary Pets, and porn, the plot combines Mexican wrestlers, sex, one-eyed super-spies, sex, boobs, zombie Nazis bikers, Hitler's head in a jar, werewolves, a talking gorilla, and sex, as dim-bulb ex-wrestler Superbeasto and his sidekick Suzi-X fight Dr.
Satan (Paul Giamatti), to save stripper Velvet Von Black (Rosario Dawson) in Monsterland. I guess you could call this "the lighter side of Rob Zombie". In production for years, it's wildly crude, and for a comedy, not really that funny.
If cartoon boobs are your thingâ?¦then this is all about your thing. Fine for what it is, but not remarkable. When Zombie described it as "if Spongebob and Scooby-doo were filthy", he was right on the money.
Best line - "Love is a battlefield. Ah, the wisdom of Benatar." Woodchuck sez, "Eh.".
