Will I watch it again? Yes.
Man, Rob Zombie is surprising the hell out of me lately. But then I'm catching up to the flicks he's made that I've missed so far and with this one, I've seen all of the pictures he has directed. With the exception of the most recent one, 31 (2016), I've liked them all and I'm really in love with THE LORDS OF SALEM (2012) at the moment and I think it's his best work but then it's completely different than the rest of his catalog. And this picture is different still. There's so much to like about it, too. The Ralph Bakshi style of animation was a brilliant choice as the look of it serves the film well. Then there's the wonderful cast who are well suited for their animated characters. The score was fun, the jokes were good, there's loads of nudity and the horror references will keep horror fans pointing out as many as they can. I did. In fact, that's part of the reason I'd like to watch it again, but most of all it's a fun flick. I've never understood the Rob Zombie haters. This guy has a cinematic voice that's unlike any others at the moment. His first four pictures were straight up horror/slasher films and it's nice to see that he broke away from that for a while and made some very, very different films. I'm glad to see that he's not content on beating the same drum even though I dig the tune. I hope he doesn't stop making pictures that interest him because they certainly interest me. The Blu-ray looks outstanding, by the way.
