So, the roomie, his woman and I watched “Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses” again last night on dvd. Yeah. I really like this movie. It has been one of those love it or hate it films in the horror community (not unlike “The Blair Witch Project”). Sure, the plot gets convoluted. Sure, Mr. Zombie’s direction is a little heavy handed at times … mainly with all the grainy, camcorder cut-in’s. What makes the movie work for me is that you can tell there is a love of the genre smeared all over each bloody frame. The movie is not at all like something that would come from the Dark Castle cookie cutter. All in all, it’s a great film to kick back with a beer, watch and revel in the shear bloodletting and mayhem. Whoo for Doctor Satan! The dvd also come with an audio commentary from Rob Zombie which is insightful about the “making of” and has hints about just what a bastard step-child the production was for Universal. I wish that he had talked in-depth about the struggle to actually get the movie into theaters, but maybe there are some lingering legalities that keeps him from bad-mouthing Universal and MGM. Yeah. Go and check ‘er out.
