Some people think this movie is terrible, some people think this movie is one of the best horror films made. But what I've learned in my short presence of the movie world, is that no one can say wether a movie is good or bad. It's your opinion.. So don't listen to reviewers opinions and act upon them. To get a true opinion on the movie in question, you must watch it for yourself to find out. Now, back to the movie. I personally think this movie is one of the greatest horror movies around. It's true horror.. Not a slasher "OMG he popped out at me" slasher film.. It's a full fledged grotesquely frightening horror film! " This is no tame wannabe Scream clone like everything else today. This is down & dirty extreme insane horror loaded with dark humor as it should be." -Dangerous Curvs This movie has some sharp and fresh editing. Distorted film, negative stock, the works. Rob Zombie goes to town with this film. You can just tell he's been dreaming of doing this film since his little demented child-hood. Mind you, this film is for not the easily squeamish or scared or even the faint of heart! You definitely need to come into this film with a clean mind and concious, because when you come out you'll feel dirty all over. Unless you're the kinda person that lives for this shit.. Thousand starts out like many horror films do. A group of teens together, in a car, alone. They're just begging for something terrible to happen to them. On their way, they decide to stop at "Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen." Captain Spaulding is my favorite character in this film, and it's tragic that he's only in 1/6th of the film! But alas, the rest of the movie is an amazing piece of art. After riding the famous "Murder Ride", the boys are ecstatic. As for the two girlfriends, they aren't very pleased. The whole premise is very cliche when they find out about a local madman "Dr. Satan". And typically, they ask Cpt. Spaulding where they could find the tree he hung himself from. And of course, they go out to see it.. And of course, their car breaks down. But not to worry, a strange girl they picked up from the road takes them to her house.. Where all the fun begins! Very cliche so far, eh? Not for long! After eating dinner with the Firefly family, they are whisked away to a comedy show by ol' Grandpa. After his antics, a very beautiful Betty Boop walks up on stage. This very scene will stay in my head until the day I die. Not only is the girl very attractive, but the deliverance is amazing. Rob Zombie is a great director! I don't want to give any more away, but let's just say that the cliche gets flopped upside down and bad things start to happen. REAL bad things! I mean, these characters go through hell. Their torture is drawn out through the whole movie, and it just makes the audience squirm. And the final scene is so creepy that you'll literally crap your pants. Kudos to the writing! (Also by Rob Zombie) There are just so many great things about this movie.. But the only thing that holds it back is that it feels very... edited. There are some scenes that just have you begging to see more.. I look forward to the DVD release very much and hope that it will be totally uncut with nothing to hide! The movie will be truly enjoyable when nothing is held back! For this wonderful Joy-Ride of terror and mayhem, I give this film an A-
