Rob Zombie takes you on a road trip into hell and I loved it.

Some people say that this is a good movie in the "horror trash" style. I have to disagree. I'm a fan of all kind of movies including trash movies and this one its not a good one. It's surprisingly boring, it's the kind of movie that is just a waste of time.
Alan B. gave it a10:
This is a good movie for those who like the sick & twisted. Anyone who gave it a really bad vote are the type of people who dislike twisted movies and are most likely very close minded people. I give it a 10 because it's unique and a refreshing view from the mainstream slew of run of the mill movies.

I give it one because it was a nice try....the other nice try extra points went away when I started feeling like I was watching a boring extended version of the "I feel so numb" music video.... now seriously, after this film I got so angry that, though I am a big fan of the music from Rob Zombie, I didn't even want to hear a single song from him. though if you are really into bizarre experiences, not wanting to watch a horror nor a terror film but some surreal comedy with horror parodies go ahead, you might enjoy it. Then again I seriously doubt it. Still I think he evolved from this shitty standard with his next movies, and though everybody hates it, I think Zombie does the exact opposite with Halloween delivering a great new angle for a movie (switching -in my opinion- the genre of it from a slow paced suspense thrill to a very well done violent horror pic).

In the way of TCM:2 (the original). Extreme violence mixed with extreme dark humor. A great debut for senior Zombie!
Gerrick C. gave it a3:
Sounds like Rob Zombie's film is past dead- which is dull-dead and dreary.
M. M. gave it a2:
Surprised to see only 0's and 10's for the most part this movie is much closer to a 0. This movie was not scary and I found myself very bored watching it. I kept waiting for the gore, but there were only a few scenes of active violence - most of the offensive material were slow shots of already dead, mutilated bodies. There was really nothing original about any of the murders/deaths. For example, upon opening a trunk, a dead body is found with the words "treat or trick" (or something close) etched into the leg of a slightly overweight girl. I can think of a 1000 ways to make that discovery more horrifying. I did like Capt. Spaulding's character and the baby character (agreeing with a former reviewer) and give this a 2 as a result. I kept waiting for some good B movie thrills, instead I got spliced footage of old 50's topless C-level "models" Bottomline: no scares, no good T&A, no good gore.
