There's an abundance of gore in this derivative horror movie, but little sense or wit.

Taking his cue from such 1970s horror classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), animated rocker Rob Zombie goes celluloid with the throwback shocker House of 1000 Corpses. Running low on gas as they travel the highways of America in search of the ultimate roadside attraction, a group of teens pull into Captain Spaulding's (Sid Haig) museum of oddities (which also offers fried chicken and gasoline) only to become obsessed with uncovering the mystery of a

Possibly the greatest waste of celluloid since Jerry Lewis was first allowed to stand before a camera.
In this field of endeavour, any intense reaction is unsustainable, for the obvious reason that the guiding principle of repetition comes with an inevitable corollary and unavoidable side-effect -- sheer boredom.
House of 1000 Corpses isn't coherent, exactly, but what dripping-ghoul horror movie is these days?
A cobwebbed, mummified horror entry that makes obvious, cartoonishly grotesque demands for attention.
Wit follows coherence out the window.
Parts have been cannibalized from better shockers and, worse, the stitches holding them together are so obvious they glow in the dark.
Cheesy, vapid, contrived, and shallow...
I can applaud House of 1000 Corpses on at least one level: The movie has absolutely no interest whatsoever in sanitized horror.
Le réalisateur cite abondamment, mais ne parvient jamais à donner un sens à ses élans qui finissent par s'éparpiller dans un fourre-tout incohérent et anormalement tapageur
Um filme tão estúpido e mal realizado que me despertou o desejo de agredir fisicamente o diretor-roteirista Rob Zombie, cujo sobrenome deve fazer referência ao seu intelecto.
A disaster area.
Those who are tired of Hollywood's dead weight aesthetic might at least find some surprise offered here. It's not good, but it's alive on the screen.
It is disturbing, to say the least, and seems destined for 'cult classic' status.
I was never scared by this B-movie or its Grade-Z dialogue. The film usually has such a cartoonish, pulpy feel that all the spills and chills seem fake and unsurprising.
Redneck humour + heavy metal video mentality = the future of horror
That rare film that strives for cult status and will most likely achieve it.
Rob Zombie's horror movie debut was a complete disaster. It's obvious that Zombie was a big fan of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". I'm not sure if he was paying homage to it, or if "House of 1000 Corpses" was a piss-poor attempt at ripping it off. It doesn't really matter, because it fails miserably either way. You'd

I'm not a huge horror movie fan, but it was hard to resist something directed by the infamous Rob Zombie. It's gory and twisted and everything you'd expect from this director.
