Review

rob zombie makes decent music and decent films. there isn’t anything that’s spectacular about either, but the stuff he does is enjoyable enough. he’s a bit like tarantino in that he knows a lot about what he likes and it shows in the films he makes. zombie’s interests aren’t as varied and he’s no where near as good a technician or artist of film, but it’s nice to see the love of the material come through in the work. there’s a plethora of cameos from people all over the horror genre – sid haig (naturally), ken foree (yay), michael berryman, bill moseley (who is really good here), etc. zombie’s two films are occasionally fun, scary and funny which makes them good enough to watch, but nothing to write home about. the ending took some liberties and i’m not sure if the artistry quite panned out the way he would have liked. had an oddly chosen soundtrack.
