Starring Sheri Moon Zombie, Jeffrey Daniel Phillips, Judy
Geeson, Dee Wallace, Patricia Quinn, Bruce Davison, Ken Foree, Meg Foster and
Maria Conchita Alonso
Written and Directed by Rob Zombie
An Anchor Bay Films Release
MPAA Theatrical Rating: R
Zombie’s most accomplished and mature work to date is also his
most ludicrous, which is especially hard to believe after HALLOWEEN II. Sheri Moon
Zombie plays a Salem, MA disc jockey with a witch problem after a Satanic
record is dropped off for her at the station. All kinds of interesting visuals
abound but the script ultimately fails, once again making Zombie as writer/director
his own worst enemy. After almost 80 minutes of poor storytelling, he just
shits the bed and gives up in the third act, at which this whole mess devolves
into an extended Rob Zombie music video punctuated by the Velvet Underground. You really want this film to be better than
it is. With Andrew Prine, Michael Berryman, Clint Howard and Camille Keaton. - EH
