View Full Version : Bravo Mr. Zombie
Samson 07-28-2005, 11:49 AM In another cinema triumph, Rob Zombie has followed the 2003 movie, House of 1,000 Corpses with the semi-sequel, The Devil’s Rejects. Happily, lovely porn queen, Ginger Lynn appears with other cult actors, Danny Trejo, Dave Sheridan, and former WCW superstar Diamond Dallas Page.
Many might find the killing, raping, and torture abhorrent, but crazy drunken rednecks will wear out DVD copies.
Other reviews?

Mr. Know It All 07-28-2005, 12:26 PM Ebert and roper reviewed it well. This being in the context of a sick and twisted horror film. They stressed that quite a few times in their review.
SecretSamadhi 07-28-2005, 12:53 PM I really want to see it. I hear you end up cheering for the monsters. :p

I thought House of 1,000 Corpses sucked. Whether or not he was trying to, the end result of that film was something desperately trying to be like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and it ended it resembling a Marilyn Manson video more than a solid horror film. The Devil's Rejects, on the other hand, was excellent and in the same vein as TCM except with more wit, humor, and a pretty good soundtrack (even though I'm not a fan of country rock). William Forsythe stole the show as the vigilante sheriff.
SwiftSloth 07-29-2005, 05:26 AM Rob Zombie is not a director. Iv seen thousands of movies. House of 1,000 Corpses is, without any opposition within thousands of degrees, the worst movie I have ever had the extreme displeasure of watching. Everything about it was pure ****. The acting, the writing, the shooting, the special effects. It was all pure ****. I will never, ever in the name of anything ever see a Rob Zombie film again. I dont give a **** if its hailed as the 2nd Titanic, I wouldnt dream of seeing it.
Dreamscapist 07-29-2005, 08:22 AM I'm look forward to seeing The Devil's Rejects.
House of 1,000 Corpses was a little too derivative of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as far as plot and other business, but I much enjoyed the characterizations by Sid Haig, Karen Black and Zombie's wife, Sherri Moon, whose ass-out strut into the liquor store was one of the best walks in all of cinema, even better than Jessica Biel's closeup in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.
Mr. Know It All 07-29-2005, 09:22 AM House of a 1000 corpses was horrible. It is one of the few movies I have actually stopped and returned to netflix.

But, how do you REALLY feel?
Swift, I find your reveiw somewhat harsh, and without basis, particularly in contrast to Tobe Hooper, director of TCM, who thought it was "One Hell of a great Horror Movie," and Dreamscapist, who noted that:

Sherri Moon, whose ass-out strut into the liquor store was one of the best walks in all of cinema, even better than Jessica Biel's closeup in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.
Sherri Moon's character "Baby" is simply an extraordinary unique horrifying combination of twisted sadism and sexuality rarely shown with as much energy as in Mr. Zombie's "House." I could replace the entire population of my basement with her presence.
Adoringly,
Samson
