7/10
Deep fried Southern Terror
5 September 2022
What makes this film rob's best is for one his formula works. The trashy redneck nature & modern western approach is welcomed with characters that feel like individuals with personalities instead of cartoon characters like in 1000 corpses. The dialogue while still vulgar feels more authentic. Everyone stands out in this movie, especially William Forsythe as the sheriff. The other best thing about this movie is how it toys with your emotions. These are horrible vile characters you just wanna see get what they deserve, but than theres scenes like them getting ice cream where you kinda hate yourself for laughing along them. Also gotta compliment the soundtrack. Southern rock Classics with the best use of free bird in a movie I've ever seen.

This isnt a masterpiece tho. Its still a pretty vulgar, shock value, cheesy fueled movie. Also i know rob based the characters names off Groucho Marx movie characters but why reference that in the movie if it doesn't lead to any kind of answer? Pretty unneeded scene.

No doubt rob zombie improved as a director after 1000 corpses. I don't think it's one of the greatest horror movies ever made but definitely one of the standouts of the 2000s.
