Are his movies really that bad?

Hell naw. If you understand what he’s going for (grindhouse vibes, almost nothing else), they’re pretty enjoyable. If you’re expecting world-changing cinema with nuance, beauty, and depth, then you’ll be disappointed. If you want a violently offensive time with a movie that requires nothing from you but a small dose of stamina, then you’ll be happy. Plus they’re super colorful, and fun to look at.

LOLOL

its easier to be an avante garde musician than avant garde filmmaker because you can can couple a perfect musical composition with uncomfortable content while its practically impossible to make a perfect film that makes people uncomfortable.

House of 1000 corpses is silly but fun.
Devils Rejects is a legit modern grindhouse classic.
Lords of Salem is underrated and surprisingly mature.
Halloween I & II are trash.
Never seen 31.
3 From Hell isn't great but, if you want more Devil's Rejects, go ahead.
The Munsters seems like a joke.

They are better than Blumhouse abortions, and they are fun unlike the pretentious slop from A24.

>>211618584 (OP)
It's interesting because 1000 Corpses was a unironically an experimentalist masterpiece and then each film he did was just a little bit worse in quality. That's how you wind up 20 years later with The Munsters remake looking like a fucking children's YouTube video.

>>211618584 (OP)
The 1000 corpses trilogy is pretty good, but the Halloween ones sucked.

>>211620161
>Never seen 31.
Honestly, one of his best.

>>211618584 (OP)
The Devil's Rejects is genuinely good and I will die on this hill.

House is good
Rejects is good
Everything else is just ok or outright garbage

Fuck yeah! It makes me overlook how bored 1000 corpses. I thought I was taking crazy pills when it was getting so many accolades.

I thought House of 1000 corpses was a cool movie. I didn’t really like that Devil’s Reject was a grittier, down to earth sequel

>>211618584 (OP)
I had a dream once whee I was watching House of 1000 Corpses with the DVD commentary on, but it was just Rob trashtalking everybody.

>"yeah, chris hardwick. yeah he thought he was real funny on set and nobody laughed, what a faggot"

>"Me, Sherri, Sid and Bill turn turns taking a dump in Rainn Wilson's trailer closet. We did it every time he brought up fucking Star Trek which was like every day"

>"Yeah I don't even remember who played the two girls. We didn;t pay 'em though, fuck em"

etc.

that just means you think way too much about "celebrities."

This was literally 20 years ago Sanjay

>>211622046
there's no reason to think you've stopped devoting inordinate amounts of your brainspace to "celebrities," as you are posting about the fact you still devote much of your mind space to towards them.

1. why do you remember a dream you had about rob zombie from 20 years ago
2. why do you think any of us would care

That History of Horror series he did with Eli Roth was embarrassing.

He just sat there in a daze while Roth talked shit about white trash the entire time. Did he have Zombie on tranquilizers or something?

with the exception of the munsters i seriously have no idea how you would get this idea. they all look very drab to me

>>211618584 (OP)
Honestly, he probably made the closest to good mainstream horror movies in more modern times, with the whole trying to bring the grindhouse aesthetic back. I’ll take even his worst stuff over any of the pretentious A24 / Blumhouse artsy fartsy soi conscious horror dogshit they make now.

>>211622688
He was a playable character in 4 but featured songs in both. Microwave was a banger by pitschshifter.

That is good description. I just don’t think Zombie very bright and only thing he can grasp with horror is the superficial factor and that it. Why he was the worst director to reboot Halloween. Everything that made Halloween scary he just couldn’t grasp. “Less is more” is beyond him. If he remade Christine he’d make the car a Monster truck crashing through buildings

>>211627078
Warning they spoil every climax of the films.

>>211627444
If he remade The Shining the ghosts would rape Wendy, Jack would rape Wendy. Wendy would also be his wife.

Sean Yseult was the real brains behind White Zombie.

>>211627533
Sad part is King would like it and still shit on Kubrick for mogging him

>>211627533
>>211627633
Also the Overlook would be in some hick bumpkin town, the ghosts would all talk with a southern hick drawl and curse excessively.

>>211618911
>If you understand what he’s going for (grindhouse vibes, almost nothing else), they’re pretty enjoyable
No, because exactly of this they are NOT. There are no grindhouse vibes at all. Why? Because they're still too clean. I mean, he tries really, really hard, but then ruins it with shitty effects and bad camerawork.
I realized this when I watched 3 From Hell, which looks and feels like if corporate tried to make grindhouse, but make it as safe as possible for "the modern audience".

>>211626099
Anything Roth is involved in is bound to be dogshit

People think Rob Zombie movies are notably bad? He's a competent journeyman knocking off the Hollywood flicks he grew up with, I'm usually entertained

>>211618584 (OP)
they're very nice to look at, but he's an awful, awful storyteller.

>>211618584 (OP)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH

We need more songs that are filled with samples of weird old movies.

>>211627444
You're talking like that would be a bad thing

>>211618979
They arent that bad. His thing is that he just regurgitates pop culture form his childhood (70s stuff plus older 1950s era horror) into one thing. Its like a less good version of Tarantino

>>211618584 (OP)
He fucked the Halloween series.

He ruins his movies by casting his wife in everything.

>>211618584 (OP)
I don't go into horror films with the expectation of seeing high art cinema, so that way I can enjoy it, hell I even kinda like his first Halloween movie (the scene where Michael kills the psych ward guards and then Danny Trejo is so fucking good imo)

It's why I've never liked the trend of "elevated horror" or whatever, if you're looking for something deep and thought-provoking then you're watching slashers, creature features, and ghost stories for the wrong reasons

>>211627604
seeing how fucking awful everything was after hell illy deluxe I agree.

robzombie just made awful jazzy rock with growling after that

>>211618584 (OP)
My brother recommended House of 1000 Corpses to me by saying that him and his friend were laughing and enjoying the movie while prissy normies were walking out.

And, yes, it was kino.

>>211618911
rob zombie is really awful at dialogue. it's embarrassing how shit he is. embarrassing.
he writes like a 13 year old edgy kid.
his plots aren't that great either.

maybe he's good visually but his movies are ruined by shaky cam and close ups and quick cuts.
31 was fucking awful. extremely shaky.

>>211633836
Did you get up an make a show of storming out of the theater?

>>211633863
>>211620925
>>211620161
31 had a cliche but interesting premise and the killers were interesting but the movie gets ruined by really awful shitty acting. really shit dialogue and very shaky close up shots

his wife is older now so the movie becomes more ridiculous. and casting Meg Foster was a huge mistake. it was awful. such shitty casting

the movie was very low budget too so the sets are pretty boring.

J. Yuenger. His guitar work made White Zombie. La Sexorcisto is a masterpiece.

Astro Creep and Hellbilly Deluxe are perfect albums.

House of a thousand corpses, and Devils rejects are both worth a watch. I do not like anything else, but those two are pretty fun films. Devils rejects is quite good actually.

what's with all these kids sucking off white zombie all of a sudden? sinister urge is rob zombie's best album btw. hellbilly deluxe is corny

>>211626099
He cannot speak intelligently about anything. He did an AMA on reddit several years ago (I know, inb4 blablabla) and his answers were all the blandest nothings. Based on his art, you'd expect him to be brimming with edgy dark humor or something, but you'd be wrong.

Enough about Robbie its time for a new hero director to rise from the Zombie family

>>211628741
This film alone is responsible for generations of inflated expectations for tranny passability

>>211618584 (OP)

Zombie is like Eli Roth.

Both clearly love the genre but don't understand it beyond a surface level of blood, shock and gore with no attempt at mood or atmosphere, just mean spirited and aggressive characters I don't care about!!!FACT!!!

ive only seen House and Devil's Rejects but I loved them. took me way too long to watch them considering im a white zombie fan and watch a lot of movies
