However, I'm very glad there are human trainwrecks like Uwe Boll in the world. Every once and a while I need a movie that's unintentionally hilarious to watch(not sober, of course).



As much as I'd like to agree with you - Cannibal! The Musical (with commentary) is required drunken viewing in my house - I can't. I think the Uwe Bolls of the world are the reason why there's so much crap and lack-of-evolution in the horror genre. Horror movies for the most part (but it's safe to say that movies in general fit this) are geared towards the 13 - 17 crowd. And what better way to get their money than with unnecessary remakes and "horror" flicks based on video games? Watered down crap that does nothing to push film forward. Rob Zombie criticized the film industry for refusing to make films for adults (as opposed to "adult films"). Uwe Boll, with his willingness to pander to teenagers and generally make crap, is a great example of Zombie's critique. And it's one of the reasons I made it a point to see Rejects on opening day...

Personally, I thought House of 1000 Corpses was terrible, and I say that as a fan of the horror genre and someone who owns every White/Rob Zombie CD(including the soundtrack to House of 1000 Corpses, which is actually quite good).

Devil's Rejects was an improvement, but I wasn't exactly big on it, either. I think Rob is a savant; not really an innovator, but very skilled at reproduction. In music that works for him. I'm not sure it does in film.



I agree. House was a huge disappointment. It wasn't scary. It wasn't shocking. It was boring and played out like one big music video. And this is coming from a person who loves horror and Zombie's music. Rejects, in my mind, was a vast improvement over House. It had the homages to his roots, but it also had its own sense of style and tension. While House wasn't much more than a "best of the 70s & 80s" compilation, Rejects was an evolution of a director.

I am very curious to see what he does this franchise, though. The classic Halloween movies are a very different breed of horror than Zombie's past projects.



I'm actually optimistic for all the reasons people have mentioned. Rob's smart enough to know what parts of the Halloween franchise work and what don't and at the same time add the visual and stylistic touches that would make this film his own.
