hard to say - i think two reasons: 1) i've felt for quite some time that Quentin Tarantino is overrated (and his hype was unrelenting at the time) and 2) i thought the film twisted and turned without rhyme or reason and had a level of heartlessness (what a weird criticism on a horror forum) that i wasn't prepared for. I mean, Henry: POASK is a heartless film - but in a way that makes a deep and resonating (if disturbing point) but FDTD was heartless and pointless. I think, for me, the rape/slaughter scene near the beginning was harsh - but then the film became a cartoon and I couldn't feel sorry for QT's character (even though I felt the film was portraying him as a protagonist). - oh, and I generally hate George Clooney (although Goodnight and Good Luck was BRILLIANT).
and, Maggie is right ( as always), House of 1000 Corpses is dreadful - but I chalk that up to incompetence rather than heartlessness.
