It's a credit to Zombie's interest in growing as an artist that he's drawing from more mature inspirations here, but it's also part of why the movie doesn't work. April 19, 2013 | Rating: 4.5/10 | Full Review…

It's all meant to be monstrous, unspeakable, blasphemous horror but it comes across more like a slightly dirty drawing, passed in seventh-grade religion class. April 19, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4

Considerable care goes into establishing the premise, but the film eventually abandons psychological subtlety for hallucinatory garishness, which is too bad. April 18, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Nevertheless, hallucinatory hogwash such as Salem will continue to dog Zombie as a campy conductor of sluggish horror-oriented hogwash. November 17, 2018 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

For me, The Lords of Salem is unequivocally Rob Zombie's greatest achievement as a filmmaker to date. Don't get me wrong, I have a deep-seated love for many of his other films, but there is something about Lords that just hits me deep in my soul. November 1, 2018 | Full Review…
