House Of 1000 Corpses
Has anybody else seen this movie? I thought it was very well done, like a giant Rob Zombie video.
Yes, it was alot like Texas Chainsaw Masacre (sp?), but even still I like the way Rob put things together. Plus it went through alot of problems with opening dates/filming date problems and the such, so overall I though it did well for what it had to work with, especially since he had to tone DOWN the gore.
Anybody else have an opinion?
probably, besides 28 days later, the best pure horror film of the last 8 or so years. i loved it and it was a great homage to the alltime horror masterpiece, texas chainsaw massacre. plus had lots of other scenes from other movies, last house on the left for example. it was a fun little movie, although you could really tell they butchered the hell out of it in editing.
it was a throw back to the way horror movies of the old days were made, and I love it. I haven't seen 28 Days Later yet due to a lack of funds, but I agree where this is one of the best horros in the past 8 years or so.
Although I would have liked to seen more of the the clown, Captain Spaulding, in the movie. He could have had a movei all his own, for that matter.
And yes, the ending was very dissapointing. It's like they just couldn't figure out what to do. Though "Yeah, we'll get you to a doctor." like just made me laugh, because you knew what as coming.
..hmm...
I think the movie was horrible because the story line was so flaky. I think Rob Zombie was so concerned with killing people in the movie that he neglected to improve the storyline. At first it made a little sense but as the movie progressed he seemed to be straying from the point more and more and seemed to be focusing more on death. The only good thing about it was that it contained non-stop action, an gore.
🙁
I agree, the storyline was paper-thing at best. "Group of teenagers look for an old town legend location and get kidnapped by crazy killers."
Still, for such a thin storyline the movie was very good. I understand how many people need storylines nowadays, and in some ways that's true. But not all movies need something so complex that you have to keep notes. This movie will give you a basic idea and let you run with it. The action scenes were great, yes, and the gore was non-stop, to the point where the movie exec's made him tone it down, and the editing was very well done. Like I said, a big Rob Zombie music video. Made me not care about the lack of a storyline.
Spoiler:
And I love how, in the end, the evil side wins. I wish more movies would do that. I would love to see an entire franchise, like NOES and F13th, where in the final film the evil creature wins, like Jeepers Creepers.
