How did people not like this movie?

The criticism of this movie mostly comes off as people not liking the movie because due to one major reason the casting / character design. Although I can understand some peoples disliking Rob Zombie for putting his wife in his movies the other actors did a pretty decent job for the concept of the movie which was just a horror movie not a drama or anything that calls for emotion outside of being scared.

In a time where most horror movies are jump scares torture porn it's nice to see that there's a director that's willing to go back to 70's / 80's horror ideas and bring back a slasher type movie. In my opinion the characters were interesting enough for a first installment of a franchise type movie. The Nazi midget. The weird European tall guy and his sex friend were interesting character types. Sure the brothers with the CHainsaws were kind of lame but the last "Head" was a very interesting character.
