Guest RedJed Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Well thats cool that its expanding next week........that per average tally is about as strong as Anger Managment scored, or at least close to.......I think both were in about $5,000 roughly per screen average.
Guest Lethargic Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 You know you're really stretching to find something positive when the best thing you can say is....well, we did better than Strangeland!
Guest El Satanico Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 They only mentioned Strangeland because it's a Dee Snider movie and it's a Heavy Metal/Hard Rock site.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 HO1KC won't do as well as people think when it expands. I don't think so anyway. I think most of the people who wanted to see it saw it durring the first week.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Ugh can I never hear or read the name of this movie again? I got dragged to see it tonight and that's two hours of my life I will NEVER get back!!
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 I understand the Snider/Zombie horror movie connection but hell I still laughed at the "Well...It DID do better than Strangeland" logic. A Gallagher comeback movie would do better than friggin Strangeland for God's sakes.
Guest Johnson1620 Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 It was 10th at the box office this weekend, so I guess it's still going. I went and saw it yesterday(after ignoring all threads about it for weeks) and I thought it was brilliant. The whole movie from top to bottom is what the horror genre is all about. I laughed, I gasp, I cringed, and I laughed some more. I was totally blown away by it. Hats off to Rob Zombie for bringing back real horror movies.
Guest NoCalMike Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 Ya know, I just got back from seeing it, and I honestly don't know where all the hate comes from? I think the 3rd act of the movie was a little clusterfucked and unecessary, but up to that point I really enjoyed the dark comedy and the placement of the cut scenes. It was definately a different experience and a welcome replacement to the Kevin Williamson bullshit we have seen over the last decade. I do have a question about the ending though.... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Was the ending sequence with the clown guy driving the girl away and the crazy guy in the back stabbing her supposed to elude that the clown guy was a part of the deranged band of misfits OR was the guy just hiding in the back of the car and had no idea he was there?

That's what I got out of it. I thought it was a little predictable that way. I still say the only decient scene was the robbery at the very beginning "Fuck yo momma!"

I'm going to go with the second thing you said.

Highlight to read Spoiler (Highlight to Read): I thought that the whole "town" was in on it. Cap did send the kids to that house where they were set up. Not to mention the opening sequence with Cap and the robbers.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 When he drew the map in the beginning I figured he was somehow evil
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 I thought the movie was stupid and pointless. If this is how horror movies are supposed to be then I don't wanna see anymore horror movies. It wasn't scary. It wasn't even that gory. None of the characters were appealing. You wanted everyone to die, which in turn makes your time feel wasted when they do die since you never cared in the first place.
Guest RedJed Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 I still have yet to see any posts around here of an R-rated film gorier than House, though. Thats what I dont get about bitching about that part of the film.
Guest SmarkySmark Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 Maybe I'm just too desenthisized (sp?) to it to think it's that gory. I've seen some b - horror movies from the past that were pretty gory and disturbed me more than "House of a..."

I've seen some b - horror movies from the past that were pretty gory and disturbed me more than "House of a..." Oh yeah I've seen plenty of more gore from, say, Troma films. But in all of those cases, they were unrated versions of the films. There was a few instances near the end of the movie that I thought were surprising to see in an R rated film, I know that much. BTW if you are looking for gore, check out that new Toxic Avenger flick, they had stuff in there that was hard to stomach even though it looked pretty fakey.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 It wasn't scary. That was my main problem with it. Zombie (if it IS his real name) goes out of his way to make footage that's unsettling, but in the process he takes all the scares out of his movie. The movie didn't scare me once, so as a horror movie it sucks.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 I liked it the first time I saw it, when it was called Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was a completely mediocre waste of an evening.
Guest Lethargic Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 I don't really find the need to try to figure out a movie that was gorier than Corpses. That's like asking somebody to name a movie that's gorier than Charlotte's Web. Neither Charlotte's Web or Corpses had a single scene of gore in the entire movie.

There was no gore in House..........riiiiiiight. You must have a very particular definition of it then.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 Please someone determine "gore." Define it for everyone. End result still is that Rob made a very unscarey movie.
Guest Lethargic Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 Gore to me would at least have to be some blood. I only remember two scenes in Corpses where I saw blood and those scenes only lasted a few seconds long. One was the razor scene and one was the cop shooting. Besides that, I truly don't remember anything else. Oh, the new thread reminded me.....you wanna R rated movie more gorey than Corpses? Robocop.
