Jun 1, 2004Backroads Brutality
Rob Zombie’s debut film was propelled into an infamy it didn’t deserve after being banned by its distributor. Seen, Zombie does nothing more than slavishly rehash The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with a constant posturing for shock effect that becomes tiresome

Animated film directed by Rob Zombie that feels like an episode of Ren & Stimpy made by someone with an unhealthy obsession with horror and exploitation movies and stripper bars

Rob Zombie is back,, making the third in his trilogy of Firefly films following House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. It is all fairly much the same as before where Zombie's sympathies are cleanly with the family of psychopaths and their murderous rampage.
