Yeah wow, this movie was terrible. I felt like it was all over the place. Only thing that movie left me wondering was why I spent the time to buy it and watch it.

Halloween day continues with a re-watch for the 31 Days Of Horror! Love this one.

It's not the worst movie I've ever watched, but it's up there, very close.

Started it. Couldn't finish it and _wouldn't_ finish it. Just bad.

The Lords of Salem is somewhat of a departure for Rob Zombie, it's a slow-burn horror movie that relies on atmosphere instead of the violence, and gore that are typically his trademark. Unlike most of his other films, this is not set in the '70s, but it still has the same look and feel of that time, given Sheri Moon's vintage clothes. I can tell Rob was drawing heavy influence from horror classics like _Rosemary's Baby_ (1968), _The Shinning_ (1980), and _The Omen_ (1976). While it starts off very subdued, the movie goes into a full on psychedelic nightmare at the end. Lots of great actors from the genre are in the cast - not the least of which is Barbara Crampton. A24 started the same year that TLoS released, which is interesting, because it would fit in perfectly with the sort of arthouse pictures they are known for. Probably my least favorite of Zombie's movies, but it's still really good. This is easily his most experimental, and no doubt divisive, film.
