I liked Robbie Zombie as a film director up until his film 31 which was a total miss. While some of his films were uneven they all had life and interesting things in them but I don''t know what to make of his latest a continuation of the saga started in HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES.Taking place largely a decade after THE DEVIL'S REJECTS the film has the trio surviving the police and being thrown in jail. Captain Spaulding is executed. Otis escapes and then breaks Baby out of jail with the help of his brother Winslow. The trio then have to battle killers who want them dead.
More interested in being mean and nasty the film feels like it was put together by the numbers. Lots of people are given token send offs (god bless Sig Haig) but then the rest feels like its a filmmaker trying to be fancy to hide the lack of passion. To me there is no heart here, only mechanics as the gears of the machine move everyone around to where a pithy line can be said, a nasty act can be performed or something can be done to provoke a knee jerk reaction from the audience.
I could appreciate the craft but I missed the twisted soul. No offense this felt more like a cash grab then a creative endeavour.
While not bad it isn't really good and s such isn't recommended.
