Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Zombie wants his film to be gleefully demented, but he fails to grasp that loud, inbred evil people torturing stupid, grating benign people isn't disturbing as much as tedious.

Possibly the greatest waste of celluloid since Jerry Lewis was first allowed to stand before a camera.

rotten:
In this field of endeavour, any intense reaction is unsustainable, for the obvious reason that the guiding principle of repetition comes with an inevitable corollary and unavoidable side-effect -- sheer boredom.

House of 1000 Corpses isn't coherent, exactly, but what dripping-ghoul horror movie is these days?

rotten:
A cobwebbed, mummified horror entry that makes obvious, cartoonishly grotesque demands for attention.
