An empty fuel tank and a flat tire lead two couples down a terror-riddled road to the House of 1000 Corpses. "House of 1000 Corpses" is at its core a story of family - a cast of twisted individuals who, with each slash of a throat or stab thru the chest, add bodies to their sick human menagerie.

Critics Consensus

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

Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses has nostalgia on its side but not much else.

A tour-de-farce of depressing inanity, that's unable to do anything more than offer a messy, incoherent pastiche of other, better movies.

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.

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

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

This movie is perfect. It may be the darkest most disturbing movie ever made. But for what it is, it’s perfect.

Honestly If you aren't looking for a campy, gorey, or lewd-ish 70's horror movie- or if you aren't a edgy metalhead. Then this isn't really for you! Plot is okay?? I like the idea of how they got to the house, but personally I didn't watch it for the plot. I was there for the screams and gore (+ the music because that's literally how I found this movie lol). The gore is overdone but I like it that way. my favorite scene starts at 58:51 ------> subpar plot, great soundtrack, amazing for a Halloween movie night. :-)
