Title: It's a cross between Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Easy Rider
Product review: I just watched this movie yesterday and I was disappointed after all the hype I read about it. The plot offers little new or particularly suspenseful and the special effects were just gratuitous...only there for the shock value, which was minimal. The Ed Gein-inspired cannibalism and wearing clothing made out of people has pretty much become a cliche that's about as amusing as Elvis-is-alive jokes. It seemed like Rob Zombie was a little too stoned when he wrote this one--it just rambles on. I was encouraged at first by the Marx Brothers' reference to Captain Spaulding and the family name Firefly. The Agatha Crispies was funny too, but the humor wasn't really paced out in the kind of way that makes for an effective build-and-release of tension in a movie. The Easy Rider-like segues between scenes was interesting, but it didn't add anything to the movie. It's probably a lot better if you watch it under the influence.
