With all the horror geekdom hype surrounding this flick, I thought it would be a no brainer schlock classic. Wrong! Don't get me wrong, I love 70's horror and from what all I have heard this was a great tribute to the classic 70's bloodletting. Wrong! While filled with plenty of gore, Rob Zombie's creation lacks the emotion of a great horror flick. I know you're saying WHAT????, emotion=I care about the victims, the pain, the suffering whether they die or not. No, No, No. More naive punk kids meet their maker, who cares? One plus is Sheri Moon as Baby. This actress has true potential in the horror genre. Horror Fans - Don't buy, rent! 3/10
This was the first movie I've ever walked out of half way through, and when someone in the group I was seeing the movie with mentioned they wanted to leave, we all agreed without hesitation. If a group of 6 people all are thinking they want to leave a movie then something must be wrong. I like horror movies, I like gory stuff, I like weird, stupid, cheap looking, plot-less slashers, but this movie was disgusting. I like all sorts of movies, except The House of 1000 Corpses. Terrible... Stay away from this movie at all costs, gather the neighbourhood kids to form a mob to storm the studios and stop production of the sequel. Rob Zombie, you used to be cool.
If you don't like this movie you probably just don't get it. It is supposed to be over the top.
Awww, widdle Wobby Zombie made himself a MOVIE! YES he did! He's like a BIG boy! The fact that a bad metal singer made a bad movie is certainly nothing shocking. What gets to me is that he apparently had a moment where he said to himself, "Good golly, Robert, we've got to STYLIZE this thing! That's the only thing for it!" "Stylize" is a Hollywood word that means "I'm gonna do some wacky crap with the camera and edit it like a crack addict and pretend it means something." No, no, it was REAL scary though. Trust me. Nightmares for weeks. It was almost as scary as that episode of "Cosby" where Theo pierces his ear. It's full of nasty grossness, I'll give it that. But trust me, if you manage to get an ingrown toenail and it gets infected, it'll be WAY, WAY grosser than this "movie" and more interesting to watch, AND it's free!
House of 1000 Corpses if you want to see a movie brain less or waiting to watch something you are brain washed with then put it on, if you are the one that enjoys to see people being tortured or hunted by lunatics then you have a dirty taste in horror, i enjoyed it so much i liked the dirtiness,craziness and maniac acts, soundtrack just makes you to scream with out any point act your craziness with it, it's disturbing in anyways, if you are up for a slasher night then it's highly recommended, 6.5/10β
Rob Zombie's directorial debut has a promising start, but soon turns into your basic everyday slash-and-hack horror film. The plot is obviously ripped off from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (People being hit in the head with hammers and having the skin of their face peeled off to be used as a mask.) This was the worst piece of garbage I've seen so far in 2003. Avoid it like The Ten Plagues of Egypt.
You will see it in the end of the movie. A must watch for old school grindhouse and exploitation fans.
