Lol, never seen house of 100 corpses...its really that bad?

I loved Saw I and absolutely loved Saw II. I've been ready for Saw III since the credits rolled on Saw II. Bring it on!

Agreed! The best movie I have seen in some time....

Yes.

Yes.

Not "so bad that's it's good" either... just bad.

Good horror movies know how to use suspense. There should be moments of calm, interlaced with sudden moments of extreme terror. In 1000 corpses, Rob Zombie just slams on the gas at the beginning of the film and never takes his foot off the pedal. There is no moment watching that film where the viewer can relax and get comfortable. When a likable nice-guy type character is introduced that you "hope" may bring some sanity to the film, Zombie *immediately* kills him or her on camera in a grotesque and disgusting way. There are no likable evil characters in the film either. The killers are supremely sadistic, stupid, and disgusting, unlike much more well-done villians such as Hannibal Lector. Dr. Satan was very cool looking though.

I have to confess one thing here- I still want to see it again for some reason. Maybe now that I know what I'm getting myself into I'll enjoy it more.

House of 1000 Corpses is a great movie for what it is...a plot thin gore fest with really cool characters set to shock you. more in the vein of Texas Chainsaw than the Saw movies

the sequel Devils Rejects is great too, way less on shock value and just features some crazy characters

as for Saw/Saw II. Saw one was a great origonal movie, both shocking and a great story. Saw II...decent story and twist, but the plot makes absolutely no sense...why was that Mexican guy so mad? Saw II gets a big in my book
