June 29, 2014I'm not the world's biggest Rob Zombie fan, but I'd say 'House of 1000 Corpses' is probably my favorite of all of his movies. This movie never takes itself too seriously, and proudly pays homage to grindhouse and slasher films of the 70s and 80s. It features a van full of college kids on a road trip when they stumble into a museum of horrible things, run by Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) who takes them on a murder tour and sends them on their way. Then they pick up a hitchhiker (Rob Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie) who takes them to her hillbilly house of pain where her crazy family (including Bill Moseley, Karen Black, and Michael Pollard) torture their new guests to no end, leaving the lucky ones to die quickly. It's fun in a totally low-brow, absurd way, and only for fans of blood-drenched horror-comedy films with the blackest sense of humor possible.
