Yeah. I really like this movie. It has been one of those love it or hate it films in the horror community (not unlike &#8220;The Blair Witch Project&#8221;). Sure, the plot gets convoluted. Sure, Mr. Zombie&#8217;s direction is a little heavy handed at times &#8230; mainly with all the grainy, camcorder cut-in&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/cgmangotiger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dark Castle<\/strong><\/a> cookie cutter. All in all, it&#8217;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 &#8220;making of&#8221; 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.killermovies.com\/h\/houseof1000corpses\/articles\/1151.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Universal<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fangoria.com\/news_article.php?id=294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MGM<\/strong><\/a>.
