Critics Consensus

There's an abundance of gore in this derivative horror movie, but little sense or wit.

Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses has nostalgia on its side but not much else. Rated: 2/4 Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Jamie Russell BBC.com A tour-de-farce of depressing inanity, that's unable to do anything more than offer a messy, incoherent pastiche of other, better movies. Rated: 1/5 Sep 30, 2003 Full Review May Leitz Nyx Fears Even if it's not a great movie, I wish every horror movie were more like this movie. We'd all have a lot more fun come Halloween, squirming in a chair like we're meant to. Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast More proof of concept of Zombie's capacity to embark on a directorial career than cohesive narrative, House of 1000 Corpses is more interested in its villains and homages to quintessential texts from Zombie's past. Bold, gritty, and often quite gross Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 16, 2023 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Using split screens, atmospheric and subversive music, 16mm and old film footage and the crowd-pleasing stalking camera, Zombie creates a visually-arresting molotov cocktail. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Uriel Film is just to fun watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review Daniel C What a great movie to start your directing debut with. This movie was a lot of fun and very entertaining. It has become an absolute classic without question. The visuals and special effects in this movie are just fantastic. And Rob has come up with some of the greatest characters ever. This i genuinely a scary movie. These critics though are something they must've been watching a different movie or they just dislike Rob. It doesn't matter this was a great movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Big A Absolutly Amazing Film!! Rob Zombie is a true Artist! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Simone E More than a rotten tomato. Senseless, depraved, and and denigrating. I hate it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Ezequiel T If you are a horror fan, a nostalgic and a good taste person in general. You will love everything about the movie. Aestethic, colours, dialogues. Really a piece of art. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Brendan B Great actors, fantastic story, very creepy and a great Freshman outing for Rob Zombie. Ive always loved horror movies and dont know where all the hate comes from when it comes to Rob Zombies films. I was never big into his music so i wasnt excepting much of his movies but i was very wrong, a must see for any horror fan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
