New Rob Zombie flick - "The Lords of Salem"

[wayzim]

I guess I'm one of two people who appreciated House of A Thousand Corpses for what it was, an homage to Texas Chainsaw Last IHOP on the Left kinda films I watched in the 70's. Devil's Rejects absolutely rocked it, but Halloween went south fast as did H2. Still, Rob's got the love for the genre. Gotta respect that. Wayne Z

Yeah, Zim! (And I will ONLY call you 'Zim') Spot on! I am in complete agreement with you! Just watched the original LHONTL, as luck would have it. Freaky stuff, good for the budget, I'm sure. Chainsaw!!

Chainsaw!! Well, Zim was good nuff for my brothers and my dad, so sure. Have at it. While you're on the lookout for originals, if you get a chance to see Ingmar Bergman's Virgin Spring (60), I recommend it. This is the source for Last House, the tale of a former crusader/now farmer whose beautiful and somewhat vain daughter is despoiled by some goat herders. His eventual vengence is seriously badass.

When is someone going to finally man up and tell him his wife can't act her way out of a wet paper bag?

I have to admit, i like rob zombie.. granted i havnt seen halloween 2, but the first halloween movie, house of 1000 corpses and the devils rejects are all pretty good movies and fine additions to my DVD collection

I have to admit, i like rob zombie.. granted i havnt seen halloween 2, but the first halloween movie, house of 1000 corpses and the devils rejects are all pretty good movies and fine additions to my DVD collection I imagine Lou will have something to say about the Halloween remake. RZ's Halloween 2 is a big old mess, but it also has a whole bunch of good bits. The Director's Cut version is the version of that movie though, as it adds some excellent scenes into the mix that simply need to be in the movie in my view, but I do strangely quite like Halloween 2, even though it's a big old sloppy mess half the time with a few scenes in it that are just bad ... but even still... As for The Lords of Salem, I've heard that it's visually spectacular, but it's a bit scant on plotting, so we'll have to see. Certainly from the trailer it's clear as day that visually the flick will be a success - it's just a matter of seeing how the plot works. The Devil's Rejects remains as one of the best horror films ever made.

I imagine Lou will have something to say about the Halloween remake. *tries to hold his contempt in check* I've said all I need to say about RZ's "Halloween" (it pains me to even say that) right here. RZ's Halloween 2 is a big old mess Boy you aren't kidding. but it also has a whole bunch of good bits. *begins to roll up a newspaper to swat MZ on the nose* but I do strangely quite like Halloween 2, even though it's a big old sloppy mess half the time with a few scenes in it that are just bad ... but even still... *SMACK* NO! Bad, MZ! BAD! As for The Lords of Salem, I've heard that it's visually spectacular, but it's a bit scant on plotting Not a surprise, considering it's RZ. The Devil's Rejects remains as one of the best horror films ever made. Agreed, 100%. That's what made me think he would be an awesome director. He went from HoTC (which I didn't care for, but it was his first feature film, so I gave him some wiggle room) to the MOST excellent TDR, but it all fell apart with his atrocity known as.. >cough< >choke< "Halloween" Goddammit it still hurts to associate his name with that movie. To be honest though, I wonder if the awesomeness of TDR has more to do with the fact that Bill Moseley just ROCKED that fucking film rather than RZ's film making abilities. Regardless, I agree, it did indeed kick some serious ass. "I am the Devil. And I'm here to do the Devil's work." *shudders* Oh, and as stupid as it was, I did kinda dig RZ's animated El Superbeasto - that was hilarious to me for some odd reason.

Hmm have to say the devils rejects also has one of the best endings of any movie ever too..

Hmm have to say the devils rejects also has one of the best endings of any movie ever too.. Probably the best use of "Freebird" in a movie, too.

Trailer did not hold my interest. This will be, at best, a NETFLIX stream view or a Free bootleg from a crackhead in Baltimore. - - - Updated - - - Oh, and yes... MZ... you deserved that SMALACKING you got from Lou. Usually i am the one who gets the rolled up newspaper to the nose.

Looks different from his previous films. Visually at least it looks like he's trying to channel some of the seventies/eighties Itallo horror classics. Witches , sureal goings on, heavy use of unnatural colouring, and so on = riffing on suspiria, inferno? I' prob give it a chance, but boy those two Halloween films of his were piss poor!
