    A cobwebbed, mummified horror entry that makes obvious, cartoonishly grotesque demands for attention.

    If your expectations aren't too high, there's lots of cool shit on-screen.

    Zombie's sense of fun gets buried under the growing pile of bodies, and eventually, we're left with little more than a frenzy of sadism.

    Zombie's film plays more like an experimental pastiche than an outright homage to those classic road-trip-gone-wrong movies.

    It's scary, suspensful, funny, and features a ton of great characters that will haunt your dreams. Rob Zombie has created something special with this movie. I loved it.… Expand

    This movie was quite entertaining and I saw it twice. First, the in-between scenes were great filler and bring an interesting light to the plot. Second, there was no point in this movie that I was bored or offended at the homage paid to previous horror movies. The people who complain that they can not see the plot or understand the motivation of this movie are just stupid. Any horror movie fan worth his salt will see this film and be satisfied. By no means is this a ground breaking film, but for the hardcore horror film lovers, this will be a great movie.… Expand

    I have one word to describe this movie AWFUL! It doesn't even compare to it's sequel, The Devil's Rejects. This is just a weird, drugged out, gore fest, that makes absolutely no sense. It's not even funny, It's a complete waste of time. Even Rob Zombie's sister was said to have walked out of the screening in disgust, saying, "what the F is wrong with you!?"… Expand
