5/5 An Original Horror Classic
  by David D. Owens (Modesto, CA USA)
House of 1000 Corpses has to be my favorite horror film to date. It has originality along with a cast of colorful and crazy characters. I am baffled by some of the negative reviews regarding this movie. People who didn't like it must be the soft, sensative type that only love cheesy horror movies like Hocus Pocus. This movie is not for the squeemish or faint hearted. It is very graphic and deals with a family of twisted killers in the 1970's who torture their victims in their rundown shack. It has a very dark circus freak/Pshycedelic feel to it that keeps you at the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. Don't let the negative reviews fool you, check this movie out and you be the judge for yourself.

3/5 Like the movie BUT
  by Jim (Pgh, Pa)
I enjoyed the DVD of this title very much.
Unlike many people I talk to, I thought it was a great ride.
BUT....I am guessing it wasn't Robs choice to remove the Sid Haig menu intro from the bluray version (which is probably the most talked about part of the film)
I recieved the bluray today and was very disappointed to see that his hilarious intro was removed from this version.
BUMMER!

4/5 Definate horror movie!
  by S. Donovan (Standing Right Behind You)
If you are a horror movie fan, this movie is for you! A kind of Texas Chainsaw massacre family, but with alot more thrills. It is fun to watch, very entertaining, gory, kookie, graphic. Characters are awesome!

4/5 Pass on diner with the Firefly family
  by Sid the Elf (North Pole)
The other night Sid started backwards by watching Devil's Rejects before it's predecessor House of 1000 Corpses. Thanks yet again to our on-demand station that made this one came available while all the characters were still fresh on the mind. Have to say despite a lot of the reviews this was one very creepy flick that takes place with a very uncomfortable situation. That situation would be getting stranded in some hick town to be welcomed in by a family that turns out to be serial killers also housing the local legend known as Dr. Satan. Yeah it was absolutely as crazy as it sounds, and Sid loved it.

The movie starts out with 2 couples who are on the road looking to write a book about the countries strange roadside attractions. The first stop they hit is Captain Spauldings fried chicken and gasoline, that also has a funhouse type tour. While there they learn the legend of Dr. Satan and decide to take off in hopes of finding the tree he hung from. Once there car breaks down after piking up a hitchhiker named Daisy (Rob Zombies tasty wife) all the fun begins. We are introduced to the ultra-physcotic Firefly family that couple well with Leatherface's relatives. In addition they house Dr. Satan who performs experiments on people they catch while they're still alive. Some actual creepy moments, which is so rare in film.

So very surprisingly House of 1000 Corpses was one of the better horror films Sid has seen in sometime. The way it was shot was very dark with hints black comedy and a lot of tripped out imagery. It almost seemed like certain scenes were made for those viewers kicking back stoned out of their minds. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Now obviously it is nearly impossible to be scared by a film, but this one had a lot of creepy elements especially toward the end. When they finally found the Dr, who looked like the crypt-keeper with an oxygen mask on, and his butler the giant axe maniac the scenes got very tense. Just the thought of coming across that would freak anyone out. So yes we really enjoyed and would have years back thanks to all the scares and Sheri Zombie nudity.

5/5 The birth of Rob Zombie as horror movie genius
  by Heather P. (Buffalo, NY)
Rob Zombie's first foray into horror moviemaking as director and creator is a little piece of bloody heaven. While some say the flick is too campy, the origination of the Firefly family that continues into The Devils Rejects is pure sublime pagan slasher fantasy. When four unsuspecting young adults stumble onto this cannibalistic family in search of the legendary Dr. Satan, the film spirals into its awesome culimantion with two of the coolest villians - and one of the greatest extended B-movie horror scenes - in recent history: Dr. Satan and the Professor. This film represents the early blueprint of Zombie's horror moviemaking genius.
