trexman-79876 The thing is about this movie other than it being hilarious to watch is that I have no idea what it is actually about; I mean you would think that doctor Satan who was hyped up at the start would be the main antagonist, but instead it's some random family who likes killing (because of course), then you would think that when doctor Satan, the big bady, the one and only finally shows up he dies from falling debris..... ya this movie is just classic good bad movie which is why it's hard to rate those unless you have some other scale (The garbage scale or something) to rate it on. I'm going to give it a 7 on the turd scale and a 2 on the actual scale.

IkhwanArif It's hard to recommend this film, other than maybe you're a fan of Rob Zombie. I watched the movie and I felt bored. I get that it's an homage to classic slasher films but other than the Dr Satan and his laboratory deep underground, there was really nothing in the 90 minutes that was entertaining. Even as I'm writing this review, I'm stifling down multiple yawns.

maherbo So two Rob Zombie movies were scheduled on the horror movie channel. I didn't know Zombie and after checking out the reviews on IMDb, curiosity had a hold on me. So even if I wasn't enthusiastic, I decided to set the DVR for both of them, «House of 1000 Corpses» being the first one I watched.I was promised a gore fest and I must admit I'm not usually a big fan of this genre, but the comedy aspect was appealing. I was afraid it would be one those horror movies that try to make you jump of your seat every 5 minutes, which I dislike. Worst of all, I certainly hoped it wouldn't be a festival of girls screaming for the entire movie, as I hate that too. So I was curious, but I was reluctant to waste my time watching this movie.Is there a good story? Nope. The first part with Captain Spaulding is really great. Then you go with that weird family, which kind of brings you elsewhere (It reminded me of «Nothing But Trouble» (1991) by Dan Aykroyd, which is not a good thing). And finally you go to Dr. Satan, which was introduced in the first part, but too late as you already have forgotten about him and it doesn't really affect you at this point and you're kind of glad the movie is finally ending.Is it scary? Not at all. Is it funny? Not really. Was I disgusted by the violence/torture/horror? It was pretty standard stuff and not that much of it (for an horror movie that is supposed to be a gore fest, anyway). I was more disturbed by the transformation in «Tusk» (2014) than anything in that movie.You really don't have that suspense that makes you say: «Oh no! Are they really gonna go there? They wouldn't. OMG, they went there!» Really nothing of the sort. Also - thank God - not too much screaming either.Did I like the movie? HELL YEAH!Somehow, it worked on a whole other level for me. I just loved the way it was shot. The directing and the editing was what made it for me, even though some reviews here hated the movie for the exact same reason I loved it.I felt I was watching my own nightmare. You know the kind of dream you have after watching a disturbing movie, where you are kind of reliving the movie, but nothing makes sense. You are not scared, because you know you are dreaming. You know you can stop everything by waking up, yet you don't want to, because you want to see what will happen next.The story kind of goes nowhere and everywhere, but so do the plots in my nightmares. All of those scenes that come from nowhere and those special effects that makes things look weird, guess what? Just like in my nightmares. Even this short movie was kind of long for what it had to say; Just like my nightmares that seem to circle around a theme by repeating the same scenes over and over.You can't make sense of the movie. You have to only enjoy the weirdness of it, just like a dream. I don't know if this was the intent of the director, but if it wasn't, it was a nice outcome that I enjoyed dearly.Usually, horror movies try to find another (original) way of killing someone. This movie was more about finding another (original) way of filming a very typical killing. The shooting scene was awesome. For an horror movie, you must admit that shooting your victims with a hand gun is rather boring, better suited to a western or action movie. Yet, the way it was shot, with the slow motion to the song «I remember you», followed by this extremely long waiting period before the last shot is fired (that you barely can see, which is weird for a movie that is said to be a gore fest), I thought it was really original and it kind of brings you back into the movie, wanting to see more of it.The music. Another great feature of the movie that really sets the mood, even if you don't get into the story. Weird, but fun. You listen to this (mostly) heavy metal music (which is good) and then you have an «I Wanna Be Loved By You» or a «Brick house» thrown at you that just makes you want to sing along. I'm telling you, fun!Is this the best horror movie ever? No. But it was fun to watch, left me with a «feel good» sentiment and I now am enthusiastic about watching my second Rob Zombie movie recorded on my DVR.

mrzodiac-97218 I don't normally write reviews but I just read an Absolutely terrible review of this movie and was so outraged, SO here goes, I have been a major horror fan for 25years after seeing carpenter's Halloween at 10years old, I own literally thousands of horrors and seen even more,house of a 1000 corpses is one of the most original and wonderfully deranged horrors I've seen in years, it's like a horror movie version of natural born killers, with all the bad found footage and slasher crap that's churned out Rob zombie has created a horror freak show, Just like Texas chainsaw massacre wasn't fully appreciated​ on release I firmly believe this will become a cult classic!!,Sid Haig's brand of dark humour is priceless and bill Mosely is just so cool, As if that's not enough you have the ridiculously sexy Sheri moon, There are horror creations in this that I have NEVER seen in any other movie, if you like it dark and twisted then you will LOVE THIS!!!!!!
