But I see why it didn't, as you say, it's an acquired taste. True horror fans will have a ball with this one, picking up all the influences and homages. <br /><br />Agree about The Devils Rejects vs. The Lords of Salem, definetely very different films in terms of tone and feel. I guess I'll end up loving both of them for different reasons. Also, true, The Devils Rejects isn't a horror film perse, which is what cought me off guard when I first saw it. Here's another way in which Zombie shows he's got balls, the first film is a straight forward horror film, then he goes and delivers a sequel that more closely resembled something that Sam Peckinpah might've done. Ballsy in deed! <br /><br />The music was something I failed to mention on my review, but it struck as a great choice, the music perfecetly matches the visuals, classy stuff. This also made me think of Kubrik because classy visuals plus classy music always spells Kubrick to me, which I'm sure is what Zombie was going for.<br /><br />I'll check out your review, always enjoy reading other film buffs views on films I've seen or havent seen for that matter! <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

I actually drove an hour outside of my town to go see this at the theater as no theater around me was showing it, and I loved it. It's definitely an experience for sure, but not for everyone. It's an acquired taste to say the least. Personally, I think it's brilliant. All I kept thinking as I watched it was how he was channeling Kubrick, Roeg, Polanski and Russell. And honestly, there's no other filmmaker these days willing to take that risk. Zombie definitely has balls. <br /><br />Right now it's a toss up of whether I consider this or Devils Rejects as my favorite Zombie films. They're just two entirely different entities and I love them both equally, just in different ways. Devils Rejects isn't even a horror film. I'd consider it more a throwback to grindhouse/exploitation. And I'd call this film more of a surrealist horror film. Very slow-burn in it's approach. But I was hooked right from the very beginning and love it to death. His choice of music, his impressive camerawork, and the slow intense buildup to that awesome third act. I think if people know what to expect, they might enjoy it more. <br /><br />Great review as always. Keep up the good work. By the way, did you ever read my review on it when it first hit theaters? We share the same view pretty much spot on. lol. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-47864189092749360252013-09-17T03:42:35.096-07:002013-09-17T03:42:35.096-07:00I was very encouraged to find this site.

Ha, yeah, The Devils Reject is a good one...I need to see Lords of Salem again just to make sure, but I now have a battle between which of the two is my top favorite Rob Zombie film, The Devils Reject or The Lords of Salem. <br /><br />I hear ya, on The Lords of Salem he also has a Rob Zombie stand in who looks even more like him! His name is Jeff Daniel Phillips, and he looks exactly like zombie, and even dresses like him, but it isnt. <br /><br />Erich so you might enjoy this one a bit more, it's a "classier" horror film then what we're used to getting from Zombie, some of the visuals are downright beautiful, even though they are horror oriented...the colors, awesome. Let me know if you dig it once you check it out!

I have an issue with Zombie because on the one hand I love the palpable love of cinema and slime bag crazies he has, the lavish attention to unique horror detail, and he keeps their teeth clean and straight (except for Sid's) which i respect even if it is anachronistic<br /><br />on the other, like Eli Roth, for him it always boils down to torture porn, which I just can't stomach, it makes me physically ill and it's never really scary so much as depressing. herri Moon is always a good presence, and Sid Haig, but that skinny blonde dude - the Rob Zombie stand-in, sounds way too polished and sensitive to be a killer (I'm thinking of my favorite of his films, Devil's Rejects)Erich Kuerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.com
