TWO YOUNG COUPLES TAKE A MISGUIDED TOUR ONTO THE BACK ROADS OFAMERICA IN SEARCH OF A LOCAL LEGEND KNOWN AS DR. SATAN.LOST AND STRANDED, THEY ARE SET UPON BY A BIZARRE FAMILY OFPSYCHOTICS.MURDER, CANNIBALISM, AND SATANINC RITUALS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE 1000+ HORRORS THAT AWAIT
It’s sick! It’s twisted! It’s House of 1,000 Corpses, and it’s more fun than a wholesome bowl of “Agatha Crispies”! Dropped by two studios (Universal and MGM) and doomed to obscurity until Lions Gate Films gave it a limited theatrical release, Rob Zombie’s gonzo horror flick is a blood-spattered throwback to the gore-fests of the ’70s, lending new meaning to the term “box-office gross.” Most critics misunderstood this unbridled exercise in graphic style and violence, but for devoted horror buffs it’s a refreshing rebuttal to the comparatively “polite” frights of the post-Scream era. While paying homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, Motel Hell, and other gory classics, Zombie’s ramshackle plot (two young couples are terrorized by an inbred family of homicidal maniacs) lacks a crucial sense of dread, but his pastiche of vivid colors, grainy fetish-films, and photo-negative imagery is guaranteed to hold your attention. A bona-fide cult item, this House is definitely worth a visit… if you dare. –Jeff Shannon

It’s a shame that an actress as talented as Karen Black had to reduce herself to performing in this crap. What’s more, it is the cheapest ripoff of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre I have ever seen. Come on Rob, can’t you be a little more creative?
I have seen a few of Zombie’s movies, including the Halloween remake. He should really stick to making music and not boring us senseless with this nonsense.
The ONLY reason I gave THIS 1 star was the Disc would not play on My PS3!!
I live in Australia & the Disc warned Me that I need to check My region to play Disc!
Besides that, I would of gave this Film 5 stars!!
I LOVE HOUSE of 1000 Corpses!!
House of 1000 Corpses has to be my favorite horror film to date. It has originality along with a cast of colorful and crazy characters. I am baffled by some of the negative reviews regarding this movie. People who didn’t like it must be the soft, sensative type that only love cheesy horror movies like Hocus Pocus. This movie is not for the squeemish or faint hearted. It is very graphic and deals with a family of twisted killers in the 1970’s who torture their victims in their rundown shack. It has a very dark circus freak/Pshycedelic feel to it that keeps you at the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. Don’t let the negative reviews fool you, check this movie out and you be the judge for yourself.
I enjoyed the DVD of this title very much.
Unlike many people I talk to, I thought it was a great ride.
BUT….I am guessing it wasn’t Robs choice to remove the Sid Haig menu intro from the bluray version (which is probably the most talked about part of the film)
I recieved the bluray today and was very disappointed to see that his hilarious intro was removed from this version.
BUMMER!
all types of weirdos in this movie from pretty girls, to giants and in between. it somewhat like the chainsaw massacres.
