Review of The Lords of Salem (2013) by Emily A — 10 Sep 2012
I was verrrry disappointed by this movie. I guess Rob Zombie is through making fun horror flicks like 1000 Corpses and has decided he wants to be Roman Polanski. This movie isn't about character or story but about mood, and I really don't like movies like that.
That's why I hate Kubrick and didn't enjoy this film. Zombie totally nails that 1970s tone of evil conspiracy, and if that's all he wanted to do, then good for him. It was such a damned pity though since this movie's story could have been so cool.
He takes pains to establish this great mythos of these real evil witches that throw Sabbaths, just like the Witchfinder Generals believed and then throws it away. I wish I knew what the hell was going on in this movie.
I wish the focus had been a little bit different. This movie is moody and dull, which makes it seem long, too. I actually started nodding off toward the end.
