Has someone seen it and what do you think about it?

...that's a good one from mr Rob Zombie. I love it!

BackFire
I enjoyed it. It was silly and campy. It was a nice homage type film.

House Of A 1000 Turds more like, i just couldn`t stand it, i though it would have been good as i`m open minded when it comes to movies i dont take notice of what people say about a film, well i do but it doesn`t affect my judgement of a film.

I sat and watched this thinking (round about the half way mark)
"this movie is naff, it is so boring, it`s like a chainsaw massacre rip off that has back fired (no pun intended), it`s as if the script was written on the back of a cigarette packet, they must have made it up as they went along".

I have a pal who likes it, he recomended it to me saying "you`ll love this, it`s right up your alley, your kind of film" well when i finished it i was ready to throw it at him (joking of course) i didn`t but i wasn`t pleased with it, it`s a kind of mixed opinion i think some do like it, some dont and i guess i`m one who doesn`t.

Sorry no offence to anyone who likes it, but i cant stand it.

PurityKnight
that's totaly fine with me if you don't like it. wink

Rob Zombie himselfe said it is a texas chainsaw massacre rip off.

me personally...I don't care if it's a rip off or not, i liked it (still do)
I think the characters are great. (specially Otis, Baby and Capt. Spaulding)

Darkseed
Captain Spaulding was the best part of it "f**k your mother...no...f**k your grandmother" laughing pure class that so it is.

Rob is a big horror fan, and so was I when I was a teenager. I used to use our home video camera to make cheesy movies starring friends and family members. The differences are 1) I kinda grew out of it and 2) I didn't become a famous rock star with a million dollars to blow on a large-scale cheesy horror movie.

SH!T SON I THOUGHT IT WAS HORRIBLE.

slayer
I also enjoyed it, it may of been a tcm ripoff but it was still great.

Evil Dead
It was an okay movie to watch once..........nothing great......no need to watch it again.

zombieman
I enjoyed it, i think it contained elements of 'Last house on the Left' as well as texas chainsaw. Ill give the sequel a chance.

Okay, it took quite a lot of effort, energy and time to make this movie and it's come to a point where some people see the good side of this movie. I've read just about every reply there is about it and 30/50 dislike this movie. I can see where your coming from but also, think of how in depth it is. If you dont understand it, it's probably because you don't know half of the hidden messages said. Or any of them for that matter. And for you "goths", if you don't understand it, you dont know the true art of our history. Read up on it and if you feel like debating let me know because I will stand my ground in a heartbeat for this movie.

Darkseed

PurityKnight

Darkseed
She is so do-able, Baby love

PurityKnight
...lucky Rob...

Darkseed
I know sad

Ou Be Low hoo
I saw this movie the other day on TV...It's funny and strange.

A stupid and boring movie...

Impediment
House of 1,000 Corpses is a fantastic homage horror movie, full of campiness and off the wall horror & gore and it truly gets better every single time I watch it. What some people need to realize is that his last name is ZOMBIE, not Spielberg and so his very first movie is not going to win any awards, nor will it be deemed "perfect". Take it with a grain of salt, watch it again from a different mind frame and hopefully you'll realize that this is a great movie.

tpaquin
You saw it on TV?!

You might wanna opt for the unedited experience before passing judgement(not that I feel the judgement will change)

Darth_Rankkor
I think the movie is great, in it's own context. Like a zombie movie or Fridays and on and on. Like someone said, it's the kind of movie you either love or hate.

Personally, I'm waiting for the next rob movie "The devils rejects"

big grin

I thought it was pretty good, but Devils Rejects was much better.

R.I.P. MATTHEW McGRORY a.k.a. TINY
1973-2005

Matthew McGrory, who appeared in Tim Burton's 2003 movie "Big Fish" and Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Rejects," died on Tuesday in Los Angeles from natural causes, according to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. He was 32.
Initial autopsy results were inconclusive, so further tests will be required to determine a definitive cause of the actor's death. Though his deep voice and towering height — he was 7 feet 6 inches tall — helped him land roles in a variety of movies, McGrory began his media career in the 1990s with guest spots on Howard Stern's radio show and Oprah Winfrey's daytime talker, graduating to appearances in music videos, including Marilyn Manson's "Coma White" and Iron Maiden's "The Wicker Man."
Born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on May 17, 1973, McGrory weighed 15 pounds and was already 2 feet tall at birth. In 1998, the Guinness Book of World Records judged him to have the largest feet of any living person — one foot measured 17 inches, the other 17 1/2, and he wore a size 29 1/2 shoe. McGrory, who played drums and attended law school, decided to pursue an acting career when his outsized proportions began netting him media exposure. The attention led to his first film role, in the low-budget horror flick "The Dead Hate the Living!" (1999), and later gigs as a human Sasquatch in "Bubble Boy" (2001), an alien in "Men in Black II" (2002) and Tiny Firefly in Rob Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses" (2003) and this year's sequel, "The Devil's Rejects." He also made cameos on a number of TV shows, including "Malcolm in the Middle," "Charmed" and "Carnivale."
But he was best known for portraying Karl in 2003's "Big Fish," a soft-spoken colossus whose size doesn't intimidate Ewan McGregor's character. At the time of his death, McGrory was filming a movie chronicling the life of another beloved big man, "Andre: Heart of the Giant," about professional wrestler and "Princess Bride" actor Andre "The Giant" Rousimmoff.
"He was sick of playing a carnival act and we came up with the idea for the Andre movie together," said the film's director, Drew Sky. "I wrote the script and he read it and said, 'Oh my God, this is me.' " Sky said it was in another of their collaborations, completed last year, "Planet of the Pitts," where McGrory did his best work. "It was a dark comedy and he liked it because I didn't typecast him," Sky said. "He played a tough guy who works for this diva and lays down the law for her."
Sky said he built a friendship with McGrory outside of their film work together and saw that the actor had a good sense of humor about his size and liked to joke around with friends, but was hindered at times by his stature. "Like Andre, sometimes he just wanted to be able to walk around and be a regular guy and not have people ask him how tall he is or how much he weighs," Sky said. "He wanted to ride in a sports car and he loved making movies, but it made him sad that he couldn't even go to theaters to watch them because he was too big for the seats."
McGrory was scheduled to film a big scene in "Heart of the Giant" on Sunday, but called in sick. Sky said he had been saving up many of McGrory's scenes for the end of shooting due to the actor's health problems and is unsure now if he will be able to complete the film.

yeahhh......???? YOU do her......i'd rather live! i prefer my women slightly more emotionally stable.

hehehehe.

the really cool thing about this film is that to truly understand the whole you have to see both "house...." and "devil's rejects". both films were obviously part of a single vision and i have never seen a horror film where the tide so nicely turns against the villains..... and moreover, where in the 2nd film, the villains were seen to have such a human side after all.

the scene where they were on the run and otis doesn't want to stop for ice cream and baby and captain spaulding started chanting "tutti-****ing-frutti"..... just incredible.

i actually began to have sympathy for them towards the end (but of course, they did NEED killing! ) roll eyes (sarcastic)

my daughter's friends and i made the joke that hardcore christians should LOVE these movies: after all they display the great christian virtue of family helping family achieve a common goal.

laughing

i hope rob zombie has something else in the works. i'd see it.

Excellent movie. The Devil's Rejects was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




smile

devils rejects wasn't horrible it's just different. it seems to be a totaly different movie with same ppl but different characters. the charaters seem more real than in house of 1000 corpses. they're not that "crazy" anymore, they're just bad. and somehow, as the cop beats the shit out of em I kinda thought, yeah, they deserve it. although I love those characters.
