No.
Looks like it's got the same witch/hell beast from Insidious. I'm down for a prequel. What, you guys don't like the Opera music or some shit?
Actually, the music is fantastic, but the film itself looks like a mess. A more satanist version of House of 1000 Corpses, basically, with a mesh of scenes and odd camera angles to make up for creativity when it comes to the story itself (which, upon my second viewing of House of 1000 Corpses, worked pretty well).

Don't think it's a matter of Opera music. No, it's more of a matter of most of us learning our lesson with Rob Zombie. Which is, "Avoid him at all costs for he is the eater of worlds."

If he was as cool as Galactus, believe me, I'd like him more.
He is as cool as Galactus....

Eh, his track record is fine. He's only directed a handful of movies to which half have been decent. I think the problem with Rob Zombie is that like Quentin Tarantino, he has a specific style he often uses, in his case it's usually a redneck/southern flavour to his films which after a while can become stale or tiresome to people... Tarantino is obviously more successful because there's a lot more diversity, thought and talent to his films but I don't think Rob Zombie is a bad filmmaker at all.

That's a matter of opinion. Personally, I think all of his movies have been garbage. But that's just my take.
I still think The Devil's Rejects is one of the finest films from 2005, but I do believe most of his other work is iffy at best.
As a purveyor of fine film, I shall definitely be scoping this out to see what the fuck is going on.
That name is dead to me.
The trailer is pretentious as shit, if you ask me.
Not to mention it looks like something some kid in high school filmed in their back yard... shitty props and all.
Is his wife in this? I feel he's really not casting her in enough of his films. Give the woman a chance, Rob.

Agreed with all that. except I think half have been damn good.
I used to think that Devil's Rejects was a good movie. Then I saw it again and quickly realized that Rob has somehow managed to fool people into thinking he's directed more than one movie, while in actuality, all of his shit is the same movie only with a different set of characters.
He's not the first and he won't be the last.
would have rather seen him make another cd as opposed to another film

He's doing that too, apparently. But the last one (Hellbilly Deluxe 2) sucked hard. Sick Bubblegum could very well be the worst rock song I've ever heard in my entire life.
It's not even stupidly fun in a "Friday" or "Never Gonna Give You Up" way?

By "Friday" I'm assuming you mean the Rebecca Black song and not the song by Ice Cube? Either way, it's not a fun song to listen to. It's really, really infuriating, at least to me it is. Actually used to like Rob Zombie as a musician up until that point.
Rebecca Black? I mean the classic by Bob Dylan, of course.
[*laugh*]
Edit: Why isn't the youtube tag working?
Dunno, may be one of those errors Chuck was talking about.
If your curiosity gets the best of you. That's "Sick Bubblegum" Ugh.
I expected much worse. It sounds like any very average filler of the genre I've heard. It's not really good, but it doesn't make me want to kill myself like, say "Stupid Hoe". Or Nickie Minaj in general for that matter. It is dull and repetitive as all hell however.
Anyways, Rob Zombie. Movies. Focus Crash!
I probably won't ever watch another of Rob's movie. He definitely has an interesting style, but he badly needs someone to make sure he doesn't indulge in his worst tendencies, and someone else to do the casting for him.
To me, the song posted above is exactly what's wrong with his movies. Terrible writing, incessant swearing (I should give him leeway on that since I swear like a sailor, but no) and overall blandness. That's not to say he was a musical genius before hand, but at least his older music had some enjoyment factor to them, which is more than I can say about any of his films.

I wasn't aware he did a Hellbilly Deluxe 2. Don't think I need to check it out now, though.

You have to make sure it is http:// instead of https:// when you link it, otherwise it won't work. You can probably get away with starting the link just with wwww. but I haven't tested that.
Saw the title of this thread and figured "Hey, at least it aint a Halloween film, but after that trailer, I am gonna pass until reviews start coming in from people I trust.
Well, last time I reviewed a Rob Zombie movie, I lost followers on DA along with some sanity. So it won't be me.
Zombie report card:
House of 1000 Corpses: F
The Devil's Rejects: C
Halloween: F
Halloween II: FF (is that even possible?)
Needless to say, I don't hold out much hope that Lords of Salem is going to be any better. I think this is Zombie's last chance to break out of white trash mode, and if he doesn't, he could be facing the danger of being written off as a serious filmmaker. I hope you brought your A-game, Rob.
I saw it today. I'd rather have Dee Wallace bludgeon me to death with a frying pan than ever watch it again.
Watched it last night and had a hard time staying awake. What a pile of shiiiiit. This will be the last RZ movie I waste my time on.
If you liked the white pony symbolism bullshit from his Halloween movies, then you'll love this flick because that and long, boring scenes of inactivity are what it's mainly comprised of. Oh, and if you also like looking at full frontal nudity from a 64 year old, nasty, shriveled-up Meg Foster with dog titties AND full frontal from a bunch of fat old women while Rob's hot wife runs around teasing nudity that never pays off, then you'll have another reason to love this flick, if that's the kind of horror you're into.
Well, technically, Sheri Moon does give us some side boob and a nice shot of her ass, but it's nothing we haven't seen before in any of the other movies where RZ has teased us with the possibility of nudity from his wife so we'll continue to watch until the credits roll. Boring, played-out satanist plot devices and more of the same from a cock tease who's been teasing us for ten years is just not my bag, so it gets an F- from me.
Attention Rob Zombie:
STOP CASTING YOUR OLD LADY IN YOUR MOVIES.... oh, wait - I'm swearing off your movies from here on out, so I guess it doesn't matter. Do whateva.
So many ass shots. There's a reason why her name is Sheri MOON lololololololo*gets run over by a fucking garbage truck*

Not sure why it's been taking people this long. I've boycotted his ass since I first heard he was messing around with a Halloween remake.
I was cautiously optimistic when I first heard RZ was tackling a Halloween remake. If done the right way, by honoring the core elements that make Michael Myers who he is, it could have been epic. But instead, Rob basically shit in the face of every Halloween fan out there.
As far as Lords of Salem goes, I was hoping this would be the movie where he finally stepped out of the box. And in a way, I guess he did; it wasn't a Halloween remake, it wasn't a white trash House of 1000 Corpses sequel, but it still blew all the same. He had an opportunity to break from tradition and make a good movie, but instead pissed it all away by yet again casting his wife and ultimately making a movie that petered out in the third act. I gave him one last chance because he's Rob Zombie and I respect what he's done in the music industry. But due to one disappointment after another, he has unfortunately worn out his welcome with me.
