maybe coz im a newbie to horror but when I watched "House.." i was truely disturbed for a few seconds after. I loved the way that it was so far from a happy story & focusing too much on the victims characters in the story..instead they replaced this with what I found true barbaric scenes. I loved the family, that they mixed disturbance with comedy really well because too much weirdness would have made the film seem tacky whereas characters like Dr.Spauldling and the tall family member(forgot his name) kept a sense of humour element intact. Or perhaps it was all down the fact I wasnt expecting much, me and my gfriend were totally bored one day & I saw that it was directing by Rob Zombie I was interested by this, obviously I rented this knowing that it was a horror but I did not expect what I found...ha either did she.
IMO this film is not a classic, although I strongly enjoyed the film, if you want to see something different do the best you can to see this movie, if it doesnt bother you to miss 90 minutes of torture then dont worry, aside from that you arent missing anything legendary.
***Spoiler***
As for Dr. Satan(what a crap name) he was heavely disapointing, he was part organic part machine & just tortured people, he is meant to be a legend in that local town & to be honest I forget the connection that ties the family with him.
But if you meant Spaulding, well..he is the key character in my eyes.
