After all is said and done, no one can argue that House of 1000 Corpses garnered a ton of attention to gore driven horror that would not have been otherwise made. And while the dialogue is sketchy at times, and the characters rely on profanity to get through their scenes, I can think of several directors who had similiar qualms.
John Carpenter's Halloween... "Totally" Dialogue was sketchy at best alot of the time.
Wes Craven's Nightmare On Elm Street... The acting of Nancy's mother was horrible.
Sean S. Cunningham's Friday The 13th... With the exception of Pamela Voorhies, the acting was shite.
All Im saying, in a nutshell, is that even the most iconic directors/movies have their flaws if youre looking for them. What makes movies have fans is the good they find in them. And in all of Rob Zombies movies, the special effects, lighting, sound, and yes gore are all pretty excellent.
