Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2003

Format: Blu Ray

House of 1000 corpses. This is Rob Zombie's first film as director( and also writter). Dont know Rob? Come on he is a famous rock star who started making horror and violent movies mostly related to american white trash depiction. His characters are grimmy and rough but fascinating. Rob's shooting style is very different especially on this movie with lots of flashbacks and side steps "a la MTV" style.
His films are gory and dirty but always entertaining and with excellent high impact music which is well matched to the film. His imaginay is very sick which makes great films. You gotta like Rob.

This specific movie is about a groupd of 4 young adults making a stop at a remote highway attraction and making a side street turn to investigate a serial murder investigation. This turns out more difficult than they ever imaged. If you have seen the horror from the orginal Texas chain saw massacre you will recognize the vibe in this film; and it ani't pretty. But if you thought that finding your way in the middle of a hicks murderous crazy family was not enough just wai as the kids will get to find out about the legend of Doctor Satan himself...

I LOVE the richness of the images in this movie. If you are horror fans you have to see this movie as it contains som much material right from the start. Really great.

Rob Zombie le rocker bien connu a écrit et crée ce film comme sont premier opus. Et pour un premier film, c'est très riche en contenu et visuellement. Le style de Rob est particulier et très MTV avec des flash-back et des sauts de cote. Le fil lui est très gore, violent et avec une musique très bien adapte.
Un classique pour les vrais admirateurs du genre.
