I got House of 1,000 Corpses from netflix, and the DVD was broken, so I didn’t get to see the last 22 minutes. It was a bad, bad movie, so I don’t want to rent it again, even though it would be free. Please tell me what happened. Did anybody survive? Did the baddies get caught or killed?
The last part I saw was the kidnapped girl’s father and the police officer being killed.
I don’t remember everything (yes it was bad) even though i saw it about 3 months ago. I do remember a girl in some kind of underground “mine shaft” and there was some sort of chamber underground where a mutant doctor was operating on someone/something. She and i think some dude got chased by a freakish knight thru the tunnels and they found the exit in the middle of a field somewhere. Everything is kinda fuzzy to me. You’re not missing much of anything by not knowing the end, trust me.
The girl escapes the mine shafts, and flags down the clown-guy from the roadside attraction. As they drive off, she falls asleep, and the white-haired dude from the house pops up in the back seat.
I haven’t seen the new TCM, but I’d guess that they’re similiar because Ho1KC was a blatant ripoff of the original TCM (also Natural Born Killers, in style at least).
Dr. Satan was the mutant doctor in the mine shaft, not one of the family from the rest of the film.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Shows how much of an impression the film made on me…
When Zombie talked about the film as it was being made, he pointed out things I agree with about other “horror” flicks like ‘Scream’. They’re not horror, they’re ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ where someone gets stabbed.
I had a lot of hopes for Zombie bringing back real horror, but although he had some creepy ideas, the movie didn’t do it for me. Kind of a disappointment.
