House of 1000 Corpses (2003)


 

Two young couples traveling across the backwoods of Texas searching for urban legends of murder end up as prisoners of a bizarre and sadistic backwater family of serial killers. 

Deliberately over-the-top gory homage to 80s video nasties is obviously aimed to die-hard fans only and hasn't much to offer more than that.

Halliwell (no star): "Unoriginal, low-budget, gore-filled tribute to horror movies of the past, particularly The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." 

Maltin BOMB. "This infantile ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW/TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE wannabe sacrifices genuine scares for gratuitous gore and nonstop profanity. Rocker Zombie, who has a genuine fondness for horror films, pointlessly sprinkles in vintage movie/TV clips."
