Corpses.

Saw House of 1000 Corpses today. Thought it was pretty terrible. No real characters, dialogue, plot, logic, anything. Nor was it particularly scary. It desperately wants to be Texas Chainsaw Massacre when it grows up, but it's not even in the ballpark.

I have to admit it was fun to look at -- every single frame of the film is just pure Halloween candy, really. It'd be a great film to have playing on a TV at a Halloween party, with the sound off.

*shrug* It's the sort of thing you'll like, if you like this sort of thing.

I really enjoyed it, although I would agree that it is all style and no substance. I never once bought into the *reality* of its world, and it certainly didn't hold any genuine scares for me, but I still enjoyed the ride. I was hoping for more, and certainly the two-year wait for distribution notched up expectations a bit, but there you go.
