Movie Reviews of House of 1,000 Corpses

Movie Review: Just Bad!!
Summary: 1 Stars

Let me start out by saying that when this movie first was to be released I couldn't wait, I like Rob Zombie and own several of his CD's and was hoping that this movie would be really hard core. I watched this movie the first time it came out and it put me to sleep it was so bad. I later rented and ended up buying DEVIL'S REJECTS which I must say is SOOOOO much better than HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. After buying Devil's Rejects many years after watching the first movie I figured maybe I didn't give HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES a real chance, so I decided since I really loved the Devil's Rejects that I would probably realize that I liked HOUSE OF 1000 Corpses... WRONG!! After buying this movie I watched it again and I must say that it still SUCKED BALLS. I really hated it, it wasn't scary it didn't make much sense and the characters weren't menacing like they are in the DEVIL'S REJECTS. I just don't understand how two movies made by the same guy and with the same characters can be so different in that one was awesome and the other was terrible and a waste of my money. If you are a hardcore Zombie fan then you would probably want to own both of these movies but I must say that the latter is much better than the first. If you just like HORROR movies then you should NOT buy HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES; instead look for THE DEVIL'S REJECTS.

Summary of House of 1,000 Corpses

Murder cannibalism and sataninc rituals are just a few of the 1000+ horrors that await. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 08/16/2005 Starring: Sid Haig Sheri Moon Run time: 88 minutes Rating: R Director: Rob Zombie
It's sick! It's twisted! It's House of 1,000 Corpses, and it's more fun than a wholesome bowl of "Agatha Crispies"! Dropped by two studios (Universal and MGM) and doomed to obscurity until Lions Gate Films gave it a limited theatrical release, Rob Zombie's gonzo horror flick is a blood-spattered throwback to the gore-fests of the '70s, lending new meaning to the term "box-office gross." Most critics misunderstood this unbridled exercise in graphic style and violence, but for devoted horror buffs it's a refreshing rebuttal to the comparatively "polite" frights of the post-Scream era. While paying homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, Motel Hell, and other gory classics, Zombie's ramshackle plot (two young couples are terrorized by an inbred family of homicidal maniacs) lacks a crucial sense of dread, but his pastiche of vivid colors, grainy fetish-films, and photo-negative imagery is guaranteed to hold your attention. A bona-fide cult item, this House is definitely worth a visit... if you dare. --Jeff Shannon
