Well, I dug all of Zombie's films. Yes, all of them--the most maligned one included.

I agree with the poster above, that Zombie wants to put the killers at the center of his films, but for me the things are visually interesting and over-the-top enough for that to be okay. Loads of gore, black humor (see Sid Haig), and nudity, with some genuinely uncomfortable stuff thrown in.

Rob Zombie and I, as far as horror fans go, are completely incompatible. He's of the tribe that regards the killers as the centerpiece of the movie. That was made pretty clear with Halloween.

Based on the poster alone he got me to the theatre for HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. Needless to say, I hated it.

Then, I saw this movie, and I thought it was pretty good.

A few years later I saw his "remake" of HALLOWEEN.

My conclusion now is that all his films suck. PLUS- his trailer for GRINDHOUSE was the worst one.
