Editorial Review:
It's sick! It's twisted! It's House of 1,000 Corpses, and it's more fun than a wholesome bowl of "Agatha Crispies"! Dropped by two studios (Universal and MGM) and doomed to obscurity until Lions Gate Films gave it a limited theatrical release, Rob Zombie's gonzo horror flick is a blood-spattered throwback to the gore-fests of the '70s, lending new meaning to the term "box-office gross." Most critics misunderstood this unbridled exercise in graphic style and violence, but for devoted horror buffs it's a refreshing rebuttal to the comparatively "polite" frights of the post-Scream era. While paying homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, Motel Hell, and other gory classics, Zombie's ramshackle plot (two young couples are terrorized by an inbred family of homicidal maniacs) lacks a crucial sense of dread, but his pastiche of vivid colors, grainy fetish-films, and photo-negative imagery is guaranteed to hold your attention. A bona-fide cult item, this House is definitely worth a visit... if you dare. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - All in all this is not a bad movie
OK, first off I would like to say that if your like me and don't like watching horror films where the bad guys win, none of them die, and they all kill everyone like they did in the movies "Rest Stop" and "No Country For Old Men". I would very, very, highly, higly reccomend seeing this movie then the Devils Rejects (sequal to this movie) one after the other.
Now on to my review of this movie. It was good, but not geat and it wasn't near as good as Rob Zombies version of Halloween. ... Read More
Rating:  - Possibly The Most Evil Film Of All Time
Rob Zombie brings the viewer thru a series of camp and silliness in the first part of the film, almost a teenage slasher flick. And, somewhere along the middle, becomes one of the most unsettling films you'll ever view. Inplied and visual evil are successfully transposed to the screen by first time director and writer Rob Zombie. Equally good score by Rob Zombie, and a exceptional role as the evil sister by Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon.
Rating: - the kingdom of god on earth
Rob zombie has given us a masterpiece parabale of christian fun-duh mentalist messianic dominionist reconstruction. Praise jah the kingdom is coming.
Rating:  - just. not. good
theres nothing scary about this disjointed gore fest. i was interested in the beginning but after the hour or so of "creative" video editing and the inverted colors, the continuous semi-understandable chanting and random addition of characters, zombies,etc it just made me feel stupid even watching this film, if you can call it that. i think that if you could cut this film down to 5 minutes and put it to some of Zombies music it would be a mediocre music video, but as a movie it sucked.
Rating: - The Boogeyman has a whole crazy family!
I actually saw Devil's Rejects first, not knowing it was the sequel to this. I have read over and over that DR is so much better than House. I think they are both pretty good in their own right and can both stand on their own.
I have to say there really wasn't a lot of tension or suspense for me while watching this movie. Nothing that made me jump out of my seat. But, I still enjoyed the wild ride. Sheri Moon is pretty fantastic as the crazy baby. I also loved her in DR and Zombie's ... Read More
