First of all, I'm a huge Clive Barker fan. I have many of his books and all of his movies. So, needless to say, I was very impressed, especially with Vinnie Jones at the helm. He fits the roll to a tee. For those of you unfamiliar with Clive Barker, he did H*llraiser, Candyman, and other great classics. His books are alot like Stephen King's with a more twisted imagination. If you're up for a good twisted plot, lots of gore and killing, then this is the one! This movie has more imagination behind it than your everyday slasher film and a cameo by UFC great, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. I loved it!
What's great about it: Acting, plot, everything really.
What's not so great: The special effects got a little too computer generated at times.

This movie had potential, but fell apart at the seems. With Samuel Jackson and Julianne Moore you think,"This should be pretty good." Wrong! The actors weren't the issue, it's the plot. First, you think you have a jist of what's going on. Then, it starts to spiral and you think,"Ok, it's getting good, it's going to have a twisted plot. That's good." Wrong again! All the spiraling doesn't add up, and then, at the end, they never explain who, where, why or anything really. So there you are, watching the credits, wondering what just happened and why you feel cheated. Save that 2 hours for a better movie.

This is one of the best movies I've seen recently. My wife and I are movie buffs, who currently own about 2,000 DVDs. So, when I say a movie is as incredible as this one is, it's not to be taken lightly. This movie was extremely artistic,as you would expect from Coppola, and Tim Roth gives a dynamic performance. If you are looking for that one "Wow!" movie, that will leave you in awe, wanting to turn around and watch it again, and talking about it for days afterwards; then I highly recommend this movie!
What's great about it: Story, acting, cinamatography, directing, everything!
Horror-rocker Rob Zombie's directorial debut gets a polished treatment in this DVD release. House of 1000 Corpses has been given a letterboxed transfer at its original widescreen aspect ratio, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. In addition to the film, the disc incorporates several bonus features, including an alternate commentary track from director Zombie, several deleted scenes, the film's original theatrical trailer, and another alternate audio track which isolates the film's musical score.

First of all, I've been a Rob Zombie fan since '92. That said, I was looking forward to this movie with great anticipation. I was not disappointed. I new after watching this movie, Rob Zombie would be on his way to an incredible career in the movie business. Turns out, I was right. Many people dissed this movie and I can't see why. If you like horror movies, this is right up your alley!
What's great about it: Classic written all over it!

These movies paved the way for current sci-fi/action films today. But, as a hard core movie buff, I never waste my money on full frame movies. These classic movies should be enjoyed in their theatrical widescreen presentation, as they were intended.
What's great about it: These are two of the best sci-fi/action movies ever.

My wife and I saw this movie at a $2 cinema. Needless to say, we wanted our money back! I know how this sounds but, I currently own around 2,000 DVDs, I'm a collector. So, when I say this is the worst movie I've ever wasted 2 hours of my life on, I mean it!
