What is House of 1000 Corpses about?

Answer 1

It has basically the same plot as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A group of young people traveling through a rural area stumble upon a sadistic, psychotic family of serial killers. You can read a complete summary and synopsis at the Related Link below.

This movie is really terrible. I mean, REALLY terrible. Unless you like bad Horror movies, I would skip this one, and just rent the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre instead. Honestly, all of Rob Zombie's movies are so awful, I can't understand why they keep getting made. He is perhaps THE most incompetent filmmaker alive today. Do not waste your money renting any of his movies.

The only thing good about this movie is the soundtrack. Which is why Rob Zombie should stick to making music, and leave the filmmaking to people who know what they're doing.

Answer 2

No, it's just gruesome. At first the extreme gore and graphic violence shocks you, but as you continue watching, you quickly get bored, as you begin to realize that the movie has no plot whatsoever. It's not going to scare you; it will just gross you out....but thats if your only 15 and have never seen a real gore film in your entire life. this is softcore mainstream Disney garbage at its best.
