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

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

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

    Rob Zombie gives us a cult classic horror film that we all have been craving for quite some times. I remember first seeing this film and being terrified by the Firefly family. I would highly recommend.… Expand

    Rob Zombie's take on 1970's B-Movies. Full of weird and wonderful characters especially Sid Haig as the almost iconic Captain Spaulding. The acting is pretty bad throughout (I assume this was to get the B-Movie feel in parts) & it gets a bit silly at the end. A mention for the great use of Slim Whitman's "I remember you" in quite a morose scene as well. Not as good as Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror which is in the same genre & done a lot better.… Expand

    Sounds like Rob Zombie's film is past dead- which is dull-dead and dreary.
