Review

After years of waiting and push backs Rob Zombie's directorial debut film House of 1000 Corpses is finally here.  Is it any good?  Well shit yeah!

Ho1KC is genius roller coaster ride through the the mind of industrial shock rocker Rob Zombie.  The movie's opening credits open like a demonic snuff film, featuring vivid colors, disturbing images, and Rob Zombie's title track for the movie.  Then there are weird little snuff scenes between the main scenes.

The acting is amazing, with an incredible cast.  Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) is one of the greatest charters ever, he is a smart ass, pissed off, cocky son of a bitch.  Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon) is adorable and has a pretty nasty evil side to her.  And her laugh is so cute/evil that you have to love her.  Lastly is Otis (Bill Moseley) is such a scrawny badass that you can't help but love him.

Overall, House of 1000 Corpses is a masterpiece.  I can't wait for the sequel.

Gore

Very gory, with bullet holes and an axing.  But the best of all is FISH BOY!
