An empty fuel tank and a flat tire lead two couples down a terror-riddled road to the House of 1000 Corpses. House of 1000 Corpses is at its core a story of family - a cast of twisted individuals who, with each slash of a throat or stab through the chest, add bodies to their sick human menagerie.

Critics Consensus

There's an abundance of gore in this derivative horror movie, but little sense or wit.

Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses has nostalgia on its side but not much else.

A tour-de-farce of depressing inanity, that's unable to do anything more than offer a messy, incoherent pastiche of other, better movies.

Zombie wants his film to be gleefully demented, but he fails to grasp that loud, inbred evil people torturing stupid, grating benign people isn't disturbing as much as tedious.

It seems like Rob saw films like Texas Chainsaw, Halloween, and Salem’s Lot, as a child and wondered to himself, “What goes on in the parts of these movies that I don’t get to see?

Works best as a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit, but is otherwise a derivative mixtape of Zombie's biggest influences.

Even if it's not a great movie, I wish every horror movie were more like this movie. We'd all have a lot more fun come Halloween, squirming in a chair like we're meant to.

I saw this movie when it first came out. Not the biggest fan of horror films, but this is absolutely atrocious and disturbing. One of the only films I've ever walked out of in a theater. If you're not into slasher films, skip this entirely.
