Probably true, but I feel like licensing this to Netflix will get the studio more money than dropping it on their own service.Wow, not even good enough for Peacock.
lol
What does that say about Netflix though? It's like Netflix is becoming the entertainment industry's garbage can or toilet bowl.Movie is so bad, even Peacock didn't want it
It's more appropriate to think of Netflix like a movie rental store. They don't just buy and offer the best of the best. They buy and offer everything from C list knock off trash to A list cinema, and its up to the customer to decide what they want to watch.What does that say about Netflix though?

$5 million is half the budget of an hour of premium television. Between the main cast being in full make, the sets, the crew, and location shooting I doubt that $5 million went far. Especially with inflation and fuel costs up so much.
He definitely made a deliberate stylistic choice, but I don't think he's lying about the budget being tight.
The vfx look cheap, but the photography looks like a 2K DI at the least. If Zombie was going for 60s television quality vfx he nailed it.I tossed that out as an arbitrary number. I have no doubt budget was tight, but Filmmaking 101: You don't cheap out on your camera. It is a visual medium, and if the movie looks cheap then people will not take your film seriously. That's legit a day 1 lesson. If you are using cheaper equipment, then it needs to look artistic to compensate. This doesn't. It looks cheap
Yeah I would have much rather had an R rated horror film from the perspective of the monsters. Do some quality body horror with Herman. Grandpa could be a ghoulish Nosferatu. And Lily could be the sociopathic human witch. Have a group of humans stumble onto their property and bloody gore ensues. And throw in some black humor for fun.The funny thing about this is that when the Rob Zombie was announced as the director, a lot of us expected Herman to be a mass murderer and Lily to be a heroin addict who abuses her kids.
Now, that version sounds preferable lol.
