rob zombie theatrical direct debut house of 1000 corps have often be sell a wacky horror comedy . but it everything else than that . zombie do a good job with make the viewer feel save in the first half of the movie . the first scene could have be right out of from dusk till dawn or one of it countless rip offs represent two people have a funny conversation and it all end in a blood bath . be there and do that more than once . then your typical teen horror character get introduce . all of them more annoy than likable . and so the movie go on and you be pretty sure that nothing too interesting will happen anymore . wrong . suddenly rob zombie shift gear and what start a an average teenie slasher and become a twisted and frighten piece of unexpected terror . and i mean really unexpected and not just creative killing . you can not tell what happen next and especially not in the last act . many viewer have complain about the video clip style of the movie . well and i can see that it might be annoy for some viewer and but it also add a surreal quality to the movie . the whole thing look and feel like a nightmare . colour change from normal to scream and people say thing that do not make any sense and you see crazy picture and everything you might have witness in a dream be in that movie . seriously and this be an underrated piece of horror film . at one side just be an update of gritty horror movie like texas chain saw massacre and on the other side something completely original . at first sight it look like a complete mess and but it a well calculate kick in the stomach .
