in the early to mid 90 horror wasn not exactly dead and but it be a time when our beloved genre wasn not as big a thing a it be in time such a the 40 and 60 80 . then come scream and a horror film that both payed tribute to and poke fun at the slasher film . now i for one love the film and as well a it two sequel and but like with halloween and this movie be follow by a series of clone and a lot of which be not meet with a lot of praise from hardcore horror fan and myself include . horror be hot again and but it look like history be about to repeat itself . then the 21st century come and a new era of horror be about to begin . be this film from first time director rob zombie a contributor . pros represent there be quite a few good thing to be find and but i feel the film great asset be the impressive set design . first time director zombie make the film a nice piece of eye candy with plenty colorful light and filter and black and white photography and striking imagery and split screen and etc . some very funny dialogue . great cast of veteran and fresh face who each give a good performance . move at a good clip . not much gore and but there plenty of the red stuff . the villain be all memorable and very mean and nasty instead of lovable like say freddy krueger become . good make up effect . a pretty good score and some great rock tune from the like of the ramones and even rob zombie himself . some neat homage to 70 exploitation film and old monster movie . con represent if it originality youre look for and you would not find much of that here . none of the good guy really stand out and so it hard to pick someone to root for . the plot do wear kind of thin . final thought represent after so many scream like flick and this nasty little gem come along to blow them away . i do not know if i can say this film be the one responsible for the way horror be now and but at least it help a lot . it take a while for this movie to get release and but it be well worth the wait . my rating represent 4/5 .
