Umm.. damn.. I was so disappointed.
By no means a bad film, but it lacked EVERYTHING that I liked about the first one. Granted there was killing, and carnage... but that isn't what made the first film.
It had NONE of Zombie's "old monster movie" feel that you get out of his videos and house of 1000 corpses. no inverted shots, nothing artistic hardly at all. and I'm not even just talking about the zombies and stuff in house of 1000... I am talking about the over all feel you get from Capt. Spaulding's gas station.. and pretty much the way the whole murder ride was presented.
You don't feel as terrified because you are out in the open with these killers instead of "in their house which they know every inch of.. and can get out an any second".
It also added a "HUMAN" like quality to all the charactors, which I hated completely.
They charactors seemed much much less crazy and more like normal people. The most inventive way they killed someone was with a gun. (as opposed to House of 1000 where they would dress up in crazy costume, perform almost rituals, scalp people.. chop their hands off, and my favorite, feed them to Dr. Satan.)
Plus the use of un-needed CG was horrible.
To me this movie was a below average movie, but a HORRIBLE sequal to House of 1000 Corpses.
