House of Rip Offs...
20 September 2003
This impotent romp through the mind of Rob Zombie is dull, unimaginative, unintelligent, unoriginal, and just plain dull.

Rob didn't create this...he took the script of Texas CHainsaw Masacre part 2, stamped a new title on it, ditched the chainsaw, and presented the movie. The characters are slightly altered, but still apparent. And it doesn't help matters any when you're using one of the same actors from TCM 2. When you create a movie that is supposed to be an homage, you don't take from one film alone and hope no one will notice. I had to fight to stay awake through this one.

And to those who found this movie funny -- well, I find nothing funny about sadistic torture at the hands of a crazy family, or a foul mouthed chicken cook who dresses like a clown. If you do find that funny, you need to be watched....very closely.

Given more creativity, this might have been a decent "B" type horror movie, but I'm afraid that CHUD 2 was better thought out than this garbage.
