Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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: - House of 1000 Corpses???
I heard a lot about the movie being gore and violent.However, It was a disappointment in the storyline and didnt quite get the story at the end.
The dvd release of the movie is really good with its interactive menu and lots of extras.Its a good buy if you lower your expectations for the movie.
Overall,it is entertaining at certain parts and due to its clarity and great sound,it kept me going.
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary,then its worth ... Read More
Rating:  - Appreciate this guy!
Fans of 70's schlock, or thrillers should be on their knees thanking Rob Zombie. Here's a guy who's love for that "time" in history for movies of this nature propelled him to do something about it. He borrows from everyone who inspired him and doesn't try to hide it. Of course, the first movie that came to mind was "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Throw 10 others in the stew and you have a killer, nostalgia drenched ride that is as silly and stupid as it is fun. The reviews total over 600 so I won't get into ... Read More
Rating:  - Awesome
A great first start for Rob Zombie. I was waiting for this for years and finally saw it a couple of times in the theater. A can't miss for horror/slag fans!
Rating: - Better when I understood how Rob works
The first time I saw House Of 1000 Corpses, I was left more disoriented and confused than entertained. It wasn't until I saw the sequel and got into Rob Zombie's entire world - his music, his music videos, his own taste in films, that I "got it" and it all clicked into place. Once that happened, the film was a lot more entertaining.
The entire thing is a mishmash of homages to black and white horror films, psychedelic nightmares and horror history. The story is simple, but Rob presents it in ... Read More
Rating: - Ode to the classics
Blu-Ray transfer was solid. No complaints.
The movie is good if you like 70's style horror. I think it pays homage to some of the classics well. At its heart it is a horror movie with some plot holes but who watches horror for the story?
