Every Rob Zombie Movie Ranked Worst To Best

8. The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto (2009)

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is Rob Zombie's weirdest film, and that's saying a lot. It's also his worst, an animated comedy about superheroes, Satan, sex, strippers and robots.

The plot is focused on the titular El Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a former wrestler and exploitation film director who works with his sister and sidekick Suzi-X (Zombie's wife and most frequent collaborator, Sheri Moon Zombie) to stop Satan (Paul Giamatti) from marrying a stripper (Rosario Dawson). The film also features Nazis and crazy scientists, and enough crass, unfunny humour to fill a whole trilogy.

Based on Zombie's comic series of the same name, El Superbeasto is weird in all the wrong ways, unfortunately. Sure, he's just cutting loose and having some fun with a new medium, but unlike his other films, Zombie doesn't seem to be aiming for anything with this one other than: "Look how f*cking weird I can be!"

The humour doesn't land, the sex themes are a touch too much in places, and all told it's the most forgettable and ill-formed of Zombie's mostly awesome filmography.
