House of 1000 Corpses
[ 2003 ] [ Hits:695 ]
Review: House of 1000 Corpses is Rob Zombie’s filmic contribution to the horror genre. Zombie, a founding member of the 90s band White Zombie, went on to start a solo career.

Review: Drag Me to Hell is Sam Raimi’s follow-up to his disappointing Spider-Man 3 sequel. Sam and Ivan Raimi collaborated on the script for Drag Me to Hell, a screenplay with sprigs from Carrie, Office Space, Rosemary’s Baby, Sunset Boulevard and Evil Dead 2.
