Pros: Eccentric Characters, Decent Special Effects. Cons: No plot, terrible acting, tedious to watch, high gore factor.
I’m not a huge fan of slasher films. I have enjoyed a few over the years, but for the most part, they don’t hold a huge appeal to me. There was a lot of buzz about Rob Zombie and his debut film House of 1,000 Corpses, but I ...

Pros: Fun performances, good direction, weirdly funny Cons: might not be for everyone
House of 1000 Corpses is writer/director Rob Zombies first feature film. After having trouble finding a distributor House of 1000 Corpses was finally released in 2003 by Lions Gates films. House of 1000 Corpses was like an updated version of the Texas ...

Pros: Two or three funny lines. Cons: It's boring and unengaging.
Fear not, faithful readers: I did not watch writer-director Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses out of my own volition. An English teacher requested that each class member view some sort of horror film-----but after the credits rolled, I had to ...

Pros: Clever, hip remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre classic... Cons: May be too violent for some audiences...
Remaking old classics, regardless of genre, is a crapshoot at best. Comparisons are going to be made, and most of the time the director will be accused of making a bad copy, or not doing justice to the original. On rare occasions, a character-driven ...

Pros: Celebrates crap cinema, wonderfully freakish characters, quotable lines, shockingly nihilistic Cons: Comes close to a rock video sometimes (but I cared little)
Folks like me who like a good-bad B-movie will understand what Rob Zombie's doing in The House of 1000 Corpses. All the criticisms are true. The acting is cheesy and overwrought. The plot is meandering and meaningless. The characters are shallow ...

Pros: Great ensemble cast, new talented Sheri Moon, fun script, effects, horror! Cons: sometimes delves too deeply into rock video cinematography.
Let me first address the state of mind I was in before seeing this DVD... I had quite low expectatio ...

Pros: A FILM FOR HORROR FANS FILLED WITH LOTS OF TWISTED AND DERANGED IMAGES AND CHARACTERS. Cons: NONE-ENJOY THE SHOW FOLKS.
Rob Zombies first full-length feature film has been a long time in the making
no one was man enough to distribute it, but LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT had the nerve and helped let this film finally see the light of day. Opening in theaters ...

Pros: A spirit of subdued camp and fright permeates this film. Cons: Some wooden performances, outlandish dopiness, more reliance than reinvention.
HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES is a Lions Gate Films presentation, rated $ for strong sadistic violenc ...

Pros: The DVD can be turned off at any time. Cons: Story, camera work, production values, logic, etc...
One of the worst movies Ive seen in years, House of 1000 Corpses was supposed to be a wildly stylized update of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre done for the MTV crowd. Writer/director Rob Zombie (nee Robert Cummings) roots are in ...

Pros: Good special effects and fun performances. Cons: Not a movie for everybody - especially the faint of heart.
Note: this is a re-write of my original review for this film. While the current time we are living in right now may not be one of the better eras for Horror films, occasionally there is a gem or two that surfaces every now and then. 2003 was ...

Pros: Wild period-piece humor and segues are Rob Zombie's style! Cons: Lack of deleted scenes and director's cut.
Reviewed by Jimbalaya (PurpleHaze) Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses was long delayed and tossed between distributors before Lion's Gate took control and let us view this thing of beauty. Sadly, some footage was lost in the shuffle and we will most ...

Pros: The special effects and gore in the film look great. Cons: Might be too gruesome for the more squeamish viewers.
This film is seriously demented. A great film to watch if your looking to get really creeped out, first time director Rob Zombie really knows how to bring the goods. Although the plot may seem to be nothing new at first (group of teens on a road trip ...
