Lords of Salem is Rob's Best Film Hands Down

Rented this title in hopes that Rob Zombie's last film set him off in a proper direction but boy was I wrong. This is utterly redundant of his "so crazy" garbage. Somehow Lords of Salem made him super insecure and he went right back to the same old shock schlock 70s garbage that fails to ignite the slightest glimmer of imagination. This movie was so unoriginal and cheap. We're right back to square one here. Total crap, you'll be fast forwarding through it only to reach a miserable climax where literally nothing happens. It's too bad because Lords of Salem was on another level. Hands down his best work to date. I was suddenly a fan of him as a director for a minute, and then this crap came out. Booooo!

Lol, you may be the only person to think so

Lords of Salem was terrible

LORDS was a masterpiece. Directing was perfect, the mood, the ambiance, the creepy tone was perfect. With all due respect to Rob, Sheri is unhloyweirds hottest and best actor. That is a fact!

You are definitely in the minority there. Salem was hot garbage. Rejects is definitely the best, followed closely by 1000. I would actually say this is 3rd.

It's funny, I actually consider this Zombies's best work and Salem his worst.

Each to his/her own but then again I generally haven't enjoyed his films.

I saw the trailer of Lords of Salem - it's some kind of supernatural mumbo jumbo, *beep* that *beep*

31 and Devil's Rejects are my favs.
