What in the 3 Devil's Rejects From Hell on Salem's Lot is this???!!!! Why would you do this and what for!!!!????THE LORDS OF SALEM
The Good
Judy Geeson, Dee Wallace and Patricia Quinn as a trio of witches were the only good thing about this movie and maybe if the film focused on those three instead of Sheri Moon Zombie this film would have been less of a train wreck.
The Bad
Sheri Moon Zombie is a charisma free automaton with the acting chops of a dust bunny and a constant look of dumbfounded wonder on her face. Giving her the starring role in any movie is asinine and should be enough to get whatever funding a director has been given taken away from him. If Rob Zombie is going to be allowed to make his singularly horrendous visions of horror then someone needs to take over the casting decisions from him so that he stops shoving his talentless wife on the world.
And speaking of Mr. Zombie, he really needs to take a few film school classes and join a writer’s workshop because he has no idea how to direct a movie in any way that makes sense and even less of an idea of how to write a cohesive script. Taking the ideas in your head and shooting them without any rhyme or reason does not a good movie make, Robert. The guy is all self-indulgence all the time.
The Ugly
No one aside from her significant other and her gynecologist really needs to see Meg Foster in her birthday suit.
Final Verdict
This was a terrible movie that made little to no sense, featured almost nothing of any interest in it’s entire running time and featured a wretched performance by Sheri Moon Zombie. The only bright spots were the wickedly delightful performances by Geeson, Wallace and Quinn but there was not nearly enough of those three to make up for the rest of the garbage this movie is filled with.
