house of a 1000 coprses

[kung-fu-jesus]

one of my friends has really been pissing me off latley, screaming how good house of a 1000 corpses is. i personaly liked it but i dint think that it was all that good of a film( no offense to rob zombie, his music is better than his movie). i am looking foward to the sequle "the devils rejects"(it looks alot better than the first and its primarily about my fav characters from the first one, captain spalding, baby, and ottis)

so i want to know your opinions on the house, and id also like some imput on what you think of the upcomming movie.

To be perfectely honest, I thought the movie was awful. Lousy acting and no scares at all.

i think its the closest movie ever to recapture the insanity of the origional Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I thought it was great.

I thought it was great, only b/c it was (to me) the only truly aggressive horror film that had been released to nationwide theatres in a long time.

check out the Rejects official site, plenty of good trailers there.

not just aggressive .. you could plainly tell it was made by a crazed fan of the genre ... not just some talentless hack under contract to produce uninspired low rent trash.

the entheusiasm oozed from this movie ..

I went into watching this movie expecting a bit too much, I think and as a result, I am not really a fan of it. After my first viewing, I really trashed it, but since then I have been a little easier on it because some it really is good. The soundtrack was great, I think Zombie is a genuine horror fan and that seemed to add a little something to it. And I do also think he has an eye for the bloody stuff. But it never really grabbed me.

I will say that I am looking forward to Devil's Rejects even if I am not exactly wild about this one.

i own house and i'll say it's entertaining...but far from great.it seamed like rob's homage to texas chainsaw.if the main "hero" characters were'nt such pussy's it woulda been loads better.

I'll admit the bio-mechanical Dr Satan (terrible name) kinda lost me. And I honestly didn't like the soundtrack too much, it seemed a little too forced or something.
where it won me was the drawn out shooting of that deputy, that was great. I really enjoyed knowing that there were filmmakers out there who truly wanted to make the audience uncomfortable. of course, the 2nd time I saw it there were the typical redneck dipshits who kept going "Boom!" "Boom!" and completely ruining the moment, only b/c they simply couldn't take it... pussies.
