Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

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 colours, 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

Product Description

A group of teens, travelling the highways of America, go in search of the legendary local maniac known only as Dr. Satan. When a mysterious hitchhiker offers to give them a tour of Dr. Satan's stamping ground, a breakdown forces the group to spend the night in the company of a very bizarre family.

4.0 out of 5 stars House of 1000 corpses, Love it 24 Feb 2004
Format:DVD
A horror masterpiece by one of metals biggest icons. A film very much in the vien of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre(even mentioning the famous Ed Gein) but taken to a higher level. Based around a fictional tale about Dr satan, a medical surgeon who takes a fancy to experimenting on his patient in bizarre ways. This leads a group of youngsters to investigate the tale to cure their boredom on long drive. This leads to a highly entertaining gore fest, with great over the top characters, and some cameos from some of horrors greats such as Karen Black.(Rob Zombie does not appear in this movie, only directs!)

A film for horror fans who just expect to be entertained, it doesnt take its self seriously and has re educated us on how to make horror movies, taking us away from the 90's formula of horror!

Great movie, cant wait for house of 2000 corpses! Watch it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yum Yum Bubblegum. I LOVED this film. 23 Nov 2006
By Pallus the Phallus VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Each to his(/her) own. There are a lot of comparisons between this film and the sequel, Devil's Rejects. For many, Devil's Rejects is the superior film. Here is my brief summary:

Devil's Rejects is a schizophrenic, curdled mix of Bonnie & Clyde and Naked Gun which does not work for me. The 'humour' and cop-chase aspects totally diffuse any suspenseful horror. I don't know what kind of film this is trying to be.

House of 1,000 Corpses is an accomplished work of classic horror. It looks good. The acting and characterisation is excellent. The journey, or 'ride'(!) through the story is an interesting one. Humour is subtle and amusing. The horror action is convincing and doesn't let-up. Personally, I feel the plot develops perfectly; this IS a horror gorefest -not The 39 Steps! The cinematography features short clips occasionally (arbitrarily?) interspersed between scenes which I really like; it is reminiscent of 70's techniques like split-screen etc. which is the era in which this type of film was borne.

I wish I'd watched it twice now (I returned the rental copy).

I DO recommend this if you like a traditional horror gorefest which makes you go >eek!< .

4.0 out of 5 stars only if you like this stuff! 13 May 2007
By M. O. HAYNES VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
I watched this and Devils Rejects the wrong way round, like I guess a lot of people did, and like a lot of people liked the sequel better than the first.

That said the way this film is put together with its mix of styles is an entertainment in itself and as a Horror story of the 'Wrong Turn' kind it stands above a lot of other films out there in terms of shock vaule and plain out-and-out ickyness. Stephen King fans will love this film - it is very reminiscent of the gore and clown-based creepiness of 'It' without the metaphysical cosmic spider hockum.

Really really fun film. Well, you probably have to be into horror to enjoy it, and have seen enough cheap exploitation flicks to appreciate what Rob Zombie is doing with the genre. Read more

This is a really great film, if you are expecting a tame horror think again. The best Rob Zombie film and not for the faint of heart.
Definitely worth watching.
