I went and seen this movie with my cousins today and I thought it was pretty cheesy. Rob Zombie made the film and you could definately tell. He likes alot of the old 50s horror shows and he reflected that in 1,000 Corpses. The movie was fairly predictable and you just knew that no one was getting out of it alive. It was a very fast paced movie and their was little dialog between the victums. Lots of dialog between the victoms is a must in a horror movie as it builds up an emotional link between the viewer and the character.
If you don't do this then watching the victums being slaughtered is like watching an ant being killed by a spider, you don't care and you would rather them be killed quick just to get it over with because it is so boring. The movie had a bit of dark/psychotic philosophy in it and I thought that was cool. It's always good to see in the mind of a psycho so you can understand his reasoning. The whole movie kept you wondering why they were killing and torturing these people, and I expected something big at the end. But, then the movie just ends and the reason they killed all these people was just because they were insane and it was fun for them. A rather blah plot to the movie if you ask me.
There were tons of gore and blood which was rather stupid, and the only thing neat about the entire movie was the props. They did a very good job on the props but that was it. I watched people as they came out of the theater and everyone I saw was saying how stupid the movie was and what a waste of money it was. I agree. Do not see this movie, it is pure crap. It seems that after the 80s, horror movies have become dumber and dumber. Maybe it just because everything that is scary has alread been made into a movie, or maybe the really good horror writers stick to books and don't even bother with the superficial multimillion dollar machine called hollywood.
