I just love Rob Zombie..

I just hate Rob Zombie..

Absolute RUBBISH. Stupid, boring film. Waste of time

House of 1000 Corpses is Rob Zombie's attempt to make Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Zombie's direction both helps and harms the film. I never found it to be scary because it seems like Zombie is trying to make the killers glamorous and not horrifying. I also didn't care about any of the people being tortured. It really didn't matter to me if they lived of died. Sid Haig is a stand out though. I just wish he had more than 4 scenes.

This movie started off okay but quickly deteriorated. The first half hour or so was very cohesive and felt like a setup to a proper horror movie. After that though, it turned into one of those indie horror flicks that tries to be artful by cutting in old film effects and shots of random people chanting and footage from fictional horror movies. So the last hour of the movie was spent not on progressing any kind of story or focused on the victims but jumping back and forth between those "art" shots and other shots of the killers laughing or dancing or whatever.

Any actual killing or torture comprises only several seconds total of the film. There are no escape attempts, no plans, no fighting back, no interaction between the victims once they're captured as we only ever see them tied up individually. Characters who are killed are killed quickly and we don't care about them. We know nothing about the killer family. All in all, this movie is a whole lot of nothing.

There is a wide variety of different controversial thoughts on this film as it is not everyone's cup of tea. Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses provides great sense of feeling like a 70s horror film with the benefits of NO CGI (Practical effects are ALWAYS better) which makes the gore and all the effects work so much better on creating an eerie 70s horror tone. The score was great and matched the emotions of the film throughout with some awesome horror rock and early 70s music. It takes much inspiration from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and has a similar story with more of a extended amount of interesting never seen before psychopaths. Personally I think the film starts and ends great but the middle falls short as it feels almost like any of the recent Texas chainsaw movies and it is just missing a twist to fully separate itself from the TCM films, but I think the ending will satisfy any cult classic horror fans. If you like 70s and 80s horror you should enjoy this. (Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding is the best part and needed to be involved more in the movie)

House of 1,000 Corpses is like a spook alley - It's a steady stream of disconnected madness, a faint plot, and terrible acting. Fortunately, it was never bad enough that I felt the need to use the emergency exit.

Rom Zombie directed this movie. Funny horror movie. I get Rob's sence of humor. The effects, cuts are really horroristic and funny. There is even a character who is called Dr. Satan i mean i pissed myself laughting. It is not for everybody but horror hunny scary as fuck.

I don't know if I like it or not. It has some great moments but the bad outweighs the good.

Underrated horror. Rob zombies best movie in my opinion. It is just craziness all the way. Rewatched it more than any other rob zombie film. Though his stuff does tend to be pretty hit or miss. The sequel to this is pretty good too.

Rob Zombie's first feature is uneven because the first half is too much Rob but the second half finally gets Zombie. P.S. If you're watching this film because you like Wes Craven, stop, you're in the wrong universe.

Doctor Satan! Doctor Sataaaannnn!!! Yeaahhhhhhhh!!!

>"Huntin' humans ain't nothin' but nothin'. They all run like scared little rabbits. Run, rabbit, run. Run, rabbit. Run, rabbit. Run rabbit. Run, rabbit, run! RUN, RABBIT, RUN!"

I had seen The Devil's Rejects when it came out but had no idea it was a sequel to this movie. I finally got around to watching it during Halloween 2020 and oh man... it is crazy. Dr. Satan is something I won't be able to get out of my head for a while.

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘House of 1000 Corpses’:

1. It isn’t a great film, but it’s a solid B-horror film — and I think that’s exactly what it was meant to be.

2. I’ve seen this multiple times and had zero clue that that was Chris Hardwick. Such random casting.

3. Zombie definitely has a particular flair — and there’s some great imagery and use of music here — but there’s something about his films that fail to grab me or leave me excited to see what he has coming up next.
