i still hate h3. its boring and cheesy. i mean how they beat the guys in the end. pretty sad, but the very end was ok.


4 more days til halloween silver shamrock. even the jingle is cheesy. and it sounds so freakin 80s its not even funny.

That jingle, which played 15 times within 20 seconds....made me crazy....at the end of the movie I was so relieved. If I heard that damn thing one more time, I swear I was going to go murder anyone within a 10 mile radius of me.

H-3 was retarded. It wasn't even remotely scary, they tried too hard, and failed miserably. A bunch of Agent Smiths going out killing people....'OH GOD! TEH CIA IS AFTER ME! I KNEW I SHOULD'VE PAYED MY PHONE BILLS!" Give me a fuckin break.

How does it deal with witch craft? To me the movie doesn't even have a plot, it just has random people in suites going around randomly killing people, and some douche with a mustache running around with no apparent reason.

Halloween 3 is a poor man's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. :D

Me too Avenger.

Everyone bashes Rob Zombie's approach with House Of A Thousand Corpses, but I liked it.

Zombie is obviously a horror film fan like us.

Some of the newer heavily commercialized horror movies are to make profit and that's it.

Zombie's style seems to come from his heart.

Taking an old-school approach is something I wish more future horror movies will do.

The gritty old-school horror films are the way they should still be doing it in today's film making.

Zomibe went old-school with the material, but a lot of the ideas and the images are very creative.

The only thing ripped was the psycho family and the group of kids not having a good day. That's a formula though, you can't own it. A shitload of films utilize this same tool, they aren't all rips.

"RIPPED THE PLOT???" yeah, i'd say he did! i could care less if he's a fan of horror. 1st of all this thread is dedicated to halloween 3 and to me halloween is infinitely more important than any other horror film BUT aside from that...ppl act as if that b/c "house...." was made by the all powerful rob zombie that some how that makes it a better film. i can almost say within a certainty that if that movie had been made by anyone else not as many ppl would like it. that movie DID NOT come from his heart at all. i like his music just like anyone else but I WILL NOT say it was good. the movie was a complete RIP OFF of TCM! it's the SAME EXACT movie over again! there is nothing original about it and frankly, all the extreme violence made me sick! he is not clever! he is not a visionary! the movie is complete garbage! the more ppl defend it the more i HATE IT!

Well you know what Leslie Daher, that's what they were shooting for. House of 1000 Corpses is a film that they want you to either love or hate. They didn't want to make a boring-ass movie with middle ground where people thought "it was ok." They want those extreme reactions. The fans LOVE and the nay-sayers HATE it. So keep hating it.

And if anyone else had made that film the way it was, I would still love it. Although I highly doubt it would have looked as awesome as it did.

please, don't call me by my full name--that is sooo creepy--it reminds me too much of my wretched ex, " Leslie Michele Daher, you broke my heart! Not once, not twice, but three times! " YIKES! thank God that's over!
