Lion's Gate Films
Rated R
(Not reviewed)

Well, you’ve got a film directed by musician Rob Zombie of White Zombie (his debut), so fans might find it cool. You’ve got the title “House of 1,000 Corpses.” You’ve got the publicity claim that it’s a throwback to old creature feature B-horror movies of yesteryear. You’ve got two couples whose cars break down and who go into a house with, supposedly, 1,000 corpses. The choice, as always, is yours.

Susanne Bier joins the ranks of the Dogme 95 filmmakers with the 28th film to allegedly agree to the rules of the manifesto.

When an engaged couple experiences an accident, their world is thrown into turmoil and several unexpected dramatic turns occur. Bier’s film is honest and covers a wide range of emotions. The Dogme style allows her to get close and intimate with her characters, who are the film’s soul.
