Rob zombie is Done Making Horror Films

I'm happy about this. Long time fan of his and have read interviews way back in the past where he says that despite his music being horror themed, that he loves most other genres of film. I look forward to see what he does next. Last I heard he is working on a Hockey film based on a true game/story.

TheDreamMaster, I pretty much agree with your thoughts on his films, except for Superbeasto, I thought that was kind of stupid. I also haven't seen Salem yet.

 

What's his wife going to do for work now?

 

This great news!

 

What a shame..

 

I'll admit I have yet to see LOS but basing my opinion on all of his other work, I'm glad to see him leave the genre.

 

The only movie of his I've seen is his first Halloween and I genuinely don't know how I feel about it... on one hand, I like that he put his own spin on it, instead of straight up copying everything Carpenter did. On the other, I didn't care for MM's white trash upbringing at all. Him being mistreated by anybody and everybody takes away the creepiness of an otherwise normal boy one day killing his sister for no real reason. On one hand, I loved Malcolm McDowell as Loomis. On the other, I didn't really care for any of the others.

 

Excellent.

 

I still think The Devil's Rejects was just a happy accident.

 

I have to disagree. I feel that the Halloween films were a huge misstep for him. He should have focused his time and energy into some more original ideas and could have pumped out something just as good if not better than TDR.

 

Jesus man how many hands do you have?

 

Not nearly enough.

 

That's...what she...said?

 

I was done watching them a while back.

 

I think The Devil's Rejects is great, Lords of Salem is a very interesting movie.

His Halloweens were awful and I think he's among the worst things to ever happen to that franchise though.

He has much more talent as a director than he does a writer, really wish he'd direct other peoples scripts and just have a hand in the story.

It'd be fun to see him try a violent action movie.
He's wanted to make a grindhouse-style action movie called T-Rex for a while now but wasn't able to get the budget to try it.

 

R.I.P.

Sheri Moon Zombie's career

2003 - 2013

 

I don't see any problems with this revelation.

 

As long as he makes movies, she'll have a part in them.

 

Ah yes. What a positive step in the directing career of Rob Zombie.

 

I love his visual style , but the reviews for Lords of Salem make me think he's doing the right thing.

 

Most of the reviews I read after the Toronto premier were not that bad, even the negative reviews admitting that it just wasn't their cup of tea.


I still haven't gotten to see it. It only played at one theater in St. Louis, at the far reaches at the metropolitan area and only for 2 weeks.

 

Back to the pole for her.

 

He said "my last sort of horror-genre related film for a really long time" implying he'll be back like every other slasher at some point. He'll never leave the horror genre truly alone.
