For once, the new stuff reviewed on my site is actually sort of new:
Cloverfield (2008), in which a big damn monster pays a visit to New York, and we get the bottom-up view for a change…
The Devil’s Rejects (2005), in which Rob Zombie takes a short break from ripping off classic slasher movies to rip off Bonnie and Clyde instead…
Hostel (2005), in which the pot loudly proclaims the kettle black…
and…
The Mist (2007), in which a trip to the grocery store could not possibly go any more haywire.

I have a friend who reckons that the Devil’s Rejects was made purely so that Rob Zombie could play the whole of Freebird over the last scene

The really horrifying thing is that people who inexplicably like… well, however you correctly misspell that damnable band’s name… tell me that even that isn’t quite the whole of “Freebird.”

You said one of your old enemies is going to revisit you. I smell a “Witchcraft” review coming up. 🙂

I’m pretty sure that when El Santo refers to “an old enemy,” it means the Blue Demon in this case.

You really nailed why I’m ambivalent about Rob Zombie’s films. He does have a great eye – and I love his “white trash gothic” aesthetic – but if there’s ever been a director who needs someone else to write his scripts…

Does Rob Z actually live in some kind of That Seventies Show style wonderland? Even when he makes films set in the present (Halloween), they still seem to be in the seventies.

About Cloverfield, near the end we see a bit of footage of Rob and Beth at Cony Island, saying how happy they are, etc. If you watch the far right of the screen, you see something plummet from the sky into the water. I figured it for the monster arriving on Earth.
