Yeah, it is pretty much the same thing as Season 2 of Castle Rock.Ohhhhh okkkk .I’ve never seen this movie. That’s like the series, Castle Rock, season 2 which was a quasi origin story for Annie from Misery.
My boy told me before going in that Rob Zombie creates movies for himself and the best part of all Zombie films is the dialogue. I kept that in mind.When you're done suffering through that movie come back and see if you agree or disagree with my review.
That shyt is in like 90 percent of scary movies.

The Good: My favorite part was indeed the trio. I was so engaged with their acting I had first assumed these were random-ass ladies who destroyed their roles. Not knowing these women are vets with decades of experience. I knew the twist with the trio being evil because it seems like a common theme in the cult sub-genre within horror. If you seen one horror movie using this formula then you saw them all. So when I just saw old ass ladies I knew what was up. But their acting blew my expectations away so yeah I agree with them being the best part.
Another thing that was good was indeed the dialogue. I got more from the dialogue than the actual movie itself. A lot of quotables that you could break down and discuss.
And I actually like Sheri Moon Zombie in this role because she fits the role. Not saying she had a stand out acting performance, but more so for I just see her being that person. I could totally imagine a recovering addict radio host in some small ass town for her. I thought the casting for that was perfect.
The bad: As I said my friend said Zombie writes for himself. But still, shyt a lot of shyt didn't make sense. The thing that sticks out to me the most is how in the end Sheri shuts the door on her coworkers. And then that's the end of that lol. They don't try to break in they don't call the cops or anything. The Janitor finds the bodies, I probably need to watch some interviews on him explaining the movie because a lot of shyt doesn't make sense. And there can be a good thing of not shyt making sense because as a viewer shyt can go over your head and sometimes shyt is hard on purpose for discussion but I don't feel like that's the case here.
The nudity and all the extra weird shyt was disgusting. I like nudity and weird shyt in my horror but this was just like WTF status. I can't imagine Rob Zombie being a guy who wakes up in the morning drinking a coffee while reading the new yorker or any typical average life. I just imagine this dude living a life where it's horror and evil shyt 24/7 and if that's not true then I'm disappointed. But yeah this isn't the type of movie I would want to watch with a chick or any friends and family lmao.
Not bad nor good just a random thought: Why scary movies always got an old white man as the guy interrgating shyt and why is there always a scene in scary movies where someone in a library or on their computer finding out the truth 10 mins right before the conclusion?
IMO I thought the movie was decent/okayish.
Good review, bruh.
Thanks - will do
Being too harsh on Rob Zombie is sorta my thing.

I think you were too harsh as a critic. This is scary movies we're talking about. This is why we don't take movie reviewers opinions seriously. They only like a scary movie once every five years, and it has to be a blockbuster title. But at the end of the day it's your opinion.
Didn't feel like my time was wasted so I take it as a plus.
Bookmarked
I think we have another one with this Asian horror sub genre anthology tales. I’m checking this out - HBO MAX, FOLKLOREi'm watching this tonight when it's extra dark outside
First off, im a chick and I am a fan of his movies so I find that particular comment insensitive and offensive.My boy told me before going in that Rob Zombie creates movies for himself and the best part of all Zombie films is the dialogue. I kept that in mind.

You definitely should watch Rob hone his craft and see how he develops his material when he’s in his own element outside the persona - I recommend the Halloween documentary.My boy told me before going in that Rob Zombie creates movies for himself and the best part of all Zombie films is the dialogue.
