House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
Fifth review is House of 1000 Corpses. Wow I don’t know where to start. Depraved, evil, twisted, profane, ridiculous, and unexpected. Includes #spoilers :

House of 1000 Corpses (2003) Pros: Red Hot Pussy Liquor is a fantastic name for a liquor store. I have seen The Devil’s Rejects years ago and never saw this original until now. Loved how the story built and built, we knew enough about the friends but it was clear that they were not the main characters, just play objects for the Firefly family. THAT THIRD ACT! When shorty and homeboy get put in that well to be eaten by the underwater zombie things! & then creepy Rocky Horror Picture Show looking dude started doing a satanic ritual, a bitch was SHOOK! Everytme a new scary element popped up like the underwater zombies, the hallway with skeletons that lead to a beautiful room decked out with skeleton chandelier and bone wall accents, which lead to Dr. Satan and another Hellraiser looking creature, leading to a chase back through the caves. Reminds me of True Blood’s opening credits, Hellraiser, The House that Jack Built, and The Hills Have Eyes. Its also giving me Adams Family but more brutal.

Cons: Aint no diversity up in here, just white folks killing other white folks but I will allow it because of how deranged everything was. There was one black man saying “This is hell” and that made me really think, wow this film as a whole is a nightmare that keeps going from bad to worse. The friends were clear tropes but the women were not well defined at all. Shorties were in the back of the car and didn’t think to hop in the driver’s seat. IDGAF talmbout “Wear the mask or nobody can have desert” I don’t care! I don’t know y’all.

I rate it a solid 7, really in the end of the day its not my ideal choice in movie because creepy white families tend to ruin the dispelling belief for me, cuz I would not be in those situations period. The addition of Dr. Satan and having it have the added level of satanic evil got my blood pumping, but the lack of fighting back from the friends and trying to escape made it like watching someone shoot crabs in a barrel.)
