I don't get all the love for this movie here. This movie just bored the hell out of me mostly because there was absolutely no story. I also hated how it felt like a TV show. The shots were framed much like a sitcom's, and I didn't like the random shots of torture and sex in between scenes. The cinematography was very aggravating as well. The random mirrored, negative, and inverted shots distracted and annoyed me. It made this movie feel like a music video (wonder why
). Dr. Satan was also very forced. He didn't come into the movie until the last 10 minutes. If they would have explained the connections between the Firefly family, Captain Spaulding, and Dr. Satan, it would have made a bit more sense. Speaking of which, the best part of House of 1000 Corpses was Captain Spaulding. He was a very likable character, and he inserted some much-needed comic relief into the film. I just wish that he had more screen time. I have no clue how anyone could like this movie. To me, it was scene after scene of bizarre imagery and torture.
