All things aside guys, did anyone notice zombie's TRUE love of other horror movies in 1000. I'll just give the 3 top examples

1. the family setting - chainsaw massacre beyond a shadow of a doubt. Not to mention the desert looking fields @ the end

2. Leather face AKA burn boy in this one. Character layout and all

3. Nightmare on elmstreet- I know he's plugin old horror classics, but when you take teh same ending as that movie down the the CADILLAC, this just made it a sad conclusion.

I could systematically every 2 minutes named something he used from a dozen or so classics.

Great first attempt though, I just haven't seen a GREAT horror movie in a LONG TIME!

(granted the FIRST scream, no others, has a lot o respect in my book.)

There's a fine line between homage and just "ripping shit off". I think Zombie may have crossed over that line.

People, I know you're all optimists, deep inside, but you have to admit something. The acting in this movie was the scariest thing about it. There was 0 suspense, 0 fright, and 0 story. Sure, it was demented, but have you seen Rob Zombie lately? I mean, an interview with him on Carson Daily's show would be demented.

I was let down by this....sorry....don't ban me, Slippers.

Yeah I gotta go with Mystic.... It wasn't something like... lifechanging... but it was deffinatly a great ass horror flick... probably right on up there as one of my favorite. I have to say, my normalacy rating went from a bouta 5 to a 2 after that movie... I now feel the need to have sex with a goat or chicken... what a disturbing disturbing film.

So I run into him a week later in the mall and he’s buying another cat and I says to ‘em "Jesus Walt, what are you doing? You know your just gonna get this cat stuck up your ass too, why don’t you knock it off?" And he says to me "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy....

I thought the movie was way to boring, oh yeah yet another death. The only part that i really liked was when that idiot tried jumping over a motercylce and got a helmet in his nuts. But of course the whole sex change seen was disturbing it hurt to much to watch.

Ouch, I think I've been insulted. My brain works just fine, Jay. I promise. It's just that....THERE WAS NOT STORY to this movie. Kids show up, car breaks down, and



SPOILER ALERT::

Creepy Family kills them.



You cannot seriously tell me you sat through those opening moments where that stupid kid talked to the Captian and thought "Gee this is a quality flick". It was just stupid. Like if my friend had gotten drunk and started improving a horror flick, it would have looked like that. And all those "homages"....like I said, eventually you gotta say those are just rip offs.

I've seen plenty of horror movies with decent acting. Maybe not top notch stuff, but decent. The Exorcist, CHUD, The Omen.... Wait--looking at that list maybe it's just that this isn't my kind of horror flick. I don't dig slashers all that much, cause in most of them there is no suspense. Just like this movie....there was no suspense. Of course, I watched it stone-cold sober.
