n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

... View MoreThis animated film is categorized as a horror film. What makes it this is that it has cameos from many horror monsters and a lot of gore. Other than that, it is not a typical horror film. But that doesn't mean it wasn't great. The movie was very funny and had a lot of great moments. But you have to like this type of film. It is very crude. The voice over cast was amazing. Tom Papa was excellent as El Superbeasto. Brian Posehn was great as the horny robot named Murray. Then you have the character Dr. Satan played by Paul Giamatti. The director of the film was Rob Zombie. So he casted his wife and a few other people from some of his various films. There is also voice cameos from actors that were in old horror films. Like I said, this film really has the voice cast. The story was fun and cheesy and all the action made it possible to enjoy it from start to finish. If you like crude humor, this is a pretty funny film to watch.
... View MoreI already knew Rob Zombie couldn't make a decent movie to save his life, but I thought a cartoon might be different. No such luck. This hyperactive rip off of Mike Kricfalusi, Tex Avery and Tijuana Bibles has all the wit of a 13 year old who's been eating lead paint chips since he was 3.The plot involves the impossibly smug and puffy luchador El Superbeasto (Tom Papa) and his adoptive sister Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie) teaming up to prevent the nebishly evil Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti) from marrying the crude but pneumatically endowed Velvet Von Black (Rosario Dawson) and gaining the power to conquer the world or something like that. It's really all just an excuse for a high pressure stream of lame jokes, foul language, senseless violence and naked cartoon boobs.This is really the sort of thing you've got to watch while stoned. That's the only way the torrent of crassness, juvenile humor, Ren-and-Stimpy-wannabe animation and smirking attitude could be enjoyable. This is the sort of cartoon that basically unzips its fly and tries to whiz comedy all over you. Something with Nazi zombies, rat diarrhea and a horny robot should be a lot more fun than this garbage.The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is terrible.
... View MoreHaunted World of El Superbeasto, The (2009) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Even though this is an animated film it pretty much has everything you'd expect from a Rob Zombie movie and that's gory violence, non-stop profanity, graphic sex and nudity in just about every frame. The film centers on Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a masked Mexican wrestler who must destroy Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti) with the help of Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie) and her robot assistant. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this film since I wasn't that big of a fan of Zombie's regular movies but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, although I'm sure many will be turned off by the extremely adult nature. If you're easily offended then it's probably best that you skip this thing but if you're got a dark sense of humor then you'll probably find yourself laughing at many of the situations. I think what I enjoyed most were all the nods to previous horror movies as the film not only pays tribute to the likes of KING KONG, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and various others but we get countless monsters including Frankenstein's monster, the Gil Man, Dracula, various werewolves and countless other creatures. We get Nicholson's character from THE SHINING as well as a Peter Lorre character doing a Jekyll and Hyde part. We even get some non-horror actors like Katharine Hepburn in a brief part. Zombie certainly has fun paying respect to these older films and we even get a prologue that goes word for word on the one from FRANKENSTEIN (1931). The vocals by Giamatti, Paga and Zombie are all good and we also get Clint Howard, Danny Trejo, Rosario Dawson, Geoffrey Lewis, Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Ken Foree among others. As with other Zombie movies, this one here is full of dirty profanity that ranges from constant "F" bombs to the redneck humor you'd come to expect. Many of the jokes are sexual in nature but they work here because nothing in the film is meant to be taken too serious. The animation looks pretty good but I think it's the dark images of the screenplay and the brains behind it that makes the film so memorable. Running under 80-minutes, the film eventually runs out of steam but for the most part there's quite a bit here for horror fans to eat up.
