Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The thing is about this movie other than it being hilarious to watch is that I have no idea what it is actually about; I mean you would think that doctor Satan who was hyped up at the start would be the main antagonist, but instead it's some random family who likes killing (because of course), then you would think that when doctor Satan, the big bady, the one and only finally shows up he dies from falling debris..... ya this movie is just classic good bad movie which is why it's hard to rate those unless you have some other scale (The garbage scale or something) to rate it on. I'm going to give it a 7 on the turd scale and a 2 on the actual scale.

I don't normally write reviews but I just read an Absolutely terrible review of this movie and was so outraged, SO here goes, I have been a major horror fan for 25years after seeing carpenter's Halloween at 10years old, I own literally thousands of horrors and seen even more,house of a 1000 corpses is one of the most original and wonderfully deranged horrors I've seen in years, it's like a horror movie version of natural born killers, with all the bad found footage and slasher crap that's churned out Rob zombie has created a horror freak show, Just like Texas chainsaw massacre wasn't fully appreciated​ on release I firmly believe this will become a cult classic!!,Sid Haig's brand of dark humour is priceless and bill Mosely is just so cool, As if that's not enough you have the ridiculously sexy Sheri moon, There are horror creations in this that I have NEVER seen in any other movie, if you like it dark and twisted then you will LOVE THIS!!!!!!

This is my all time favorite horror movie.This is the movie I compare all other horror movies to. Horror is my favorite movie genre, so I watch a lot of them! This is also my favorite Rob Zombie film. I really enjoy the soundtrack to this movie, too. I enjoy the sequels to this film also, but "House of 1,000 Corpses" is my favorite! I would DEFINITELY recommend this movie to any avid horror fan!! Will not disappoint!

What kind of horror movie is good to these other sissy reviewers? This is an excellent horror movie. Best in decades. Sid Haig, Sherri Moon and Bill Moseley are excellent. Karen Black is a great cast too. Best since the original Texas chainsaw massacre. If your a horror fan its a must see.
