critics continually pan Tarantino for "making movies about movies." looking at him in that light, I would definitely say Zombie is a lot like QT. in my own opinion, based on their overall body of work, I think Tarantino is better than Rob Zombie.

I also want to say that I don't have anything against "torture porn." lots of horror fans are ripping on it because it's the hot thing right now, but some of my favorite genre pictures are planted firmly in HG Lewis's footprints and in the 60s and 70s exploitation films as a whole. I hafta say that part of the reason I like them is that it means that there are other fans of these types of pictures.
