10 Terrible Horror Movies That Tricked You Into Thinking They’re Good
5. House Of 1000 Corpses
As the frontman of metal band White Zombie, Rob Zombie established himself as an icon with his intense songwriting and theatrical stage presence.
A fan of 70s horror movies, Zombie eventually made the transition to directing with 2003's House of 1000 Corpses. It's a horror-comedy - well, as much of a comedy about a family of demented murders can be.
Taking some pretty hefty inspiration from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, the musician crafted a world full of terror and populated by the vile and violent Firefly family.
Unfortunately, beyond the guts, gore, murder, and mayhem, there isn't a great deal to this film.
In his quest to honour his idols, Zombie just created a carbon copy of them without any of the knowledge gained in the 30 or so years since they first came out.
Just setting your horror movie in the South and letting a bunch of murderous hillbillies run around is not a guaranteed formula for success - something that Mr. Zombie found out the hard way.
Although, he does have significantly more money than we do, so he probably doesn't give a hoot about what we think.
