Jan 8, 2020 · By Jack Wilhelmi. Published Jan 8, 2020. Link copied to clipboard. One of the wildest modern horror directors, Rob Zombie, is always one the fans are watching to see the latest breaking news about his upcoming projects. After 3 From Hell, which brought the murderous Firefly family back to the big screen for the first time since The Devil's ...

If cohesiveness was the only thing that decided a good or bad movie, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto would still be at the bottom of this list. It also happens to be that this animated comedy, telling a slapdash story of a retired pro wrestler who stops a madman named Dr. Satan, isn’t very funny either. Humor is apparent in most of these Rob Zo...
31 is, if nothing else, completely free of pretension. It’s nothing more and nothing else. That is unfortunately to its own detriment. There’s no airs and graces in this story of a group of carnival workers forced to fight an army of maniacs in a dangerous industrial building, sure, but there’s also no emotional depth either. That’s more important ...
Until Rob Zombie’s aggressively ambitious Halloween was released to utterly brutal reviews, Zombie was on relatively good terms with audiences as a filmmaker. It took a bold-but-decidedly-misguided approach to reinviting the iconic Michael Myers to sour that relationship with many. Many are still pretty upset at the way Zombie endeavored to reimagi...
Did the world really need a third installment in the Firefly Trilogy? Absolutely not. The Devil’s Rejects remains the best-reviewed and most-liked entry in Rob Zombie’s entire filmography. Yet 3 From Hell exists, and, against all odds, it’s actually not that bad. That’s not something to necessarily celebrate, but the movie clearly fares better than...
With Rob Zombie’s debut 2003 feature House of 1000 Corpses, we’ve arrived at the tier of ranked Rob Zombie movies that have more good elements going for them than bad ones. House of 1000 Corpses isn’t very scary, but it is one of the most unique horror films released in this period. As weird, enthusiastic mashups of several different horror movie c...
Rob Zombie taking on a beloved 60s sitcom classic might make you nervous, but you can relax. Few people on this or any other planet love The Munsters more than Rob Zombie. Obviously that doesn’t mean his prequel story, which details the courtship and marriage of Herman Munster (Jeff Daniel Phillips) to Lily (Sheri Moon Zombie) is actually going to ...
Restraint on Rob Zombie’s part, both as a writer and a director, can be a beautiful thing to behold for some horror fans. The Lords of Salem is the grimmest piece of work on his resume. There are moments where the violence is on flawless par with almost anything you’ll find in the rest of his films. The restraint is nonetheless apparent. Much of th...
The real tragedy of Halloween II is that it must be a sequel to a movie that’s at best a mixed bag. Without the presence of an overlong backstory filled with very Rob Zombified touches, Halloween II gets the chance to be one of the best Halloween sequels in the entire franchise. If you didn’t like the performances or screenplay choices behind the c...
It’s unlikely that Rob Zombie will ever enjoy the critical reception given to The Devil’s Rejects. That may or may not matter to you, but the film’s comparatively good standing with critics and audiences is interesting to note. For better or for worse, Rob Zombie’s style and creative choices can generate a strong reaction from those who watch his w...
- THE LORDS OF SALEM (2013) My favorite Rob Zombie movie is also the one I consider to be his best. In many ways, it’s a departure from the rest of his work; it’s still grimy, sure, but mostly does away with the Hellbilly aesthetic in favor of a slow-burn tribute to filmmakers like Mario Bava, Ken Russell, and Lucio Fulci.
- HALLOWEEN II (2009) With Zombie’s 2007 remake of Halloween a huge hit, Dimension was going to move forward with a sequel with or without his participation.
- THE DEVIL’S REJECTS (2005) Surprise! The Rob Zombie movie I suspect is most horror fans’ favorite lands in the number 3 spot not because there’s anything wrong with it – The Devil’s Rejects is pretty much a masterpiece – but just because there are two other Zombie movies I prefer (and this is my list, dammit).
- HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES (2003) The first movie written and directed by Rob Zombie (recently re-released on a 20th anniversary Steelbook Blu-ray) pretty much feels like what a movie written and directed by Rob Zombie should feel like: it’s messy, it’s colorful, it’s profane, it’s funny, it’s gory, it’s production designed within an inch of its life, it’s comprised of multiple film stocks and video formats and feels not totally unlike one his music videos.

Rob Zombie Halloween was my favorite movie when I was younger (It came out when I was in maybe 7th grade). As an adult I can absolutely see the flaws and don’t think it touches the original at all. That being said it’s still got some of my favorite kills in the franchise, I think the absolute best Michael look, and Malcolm McDowell’s ...
