I've yet to see LOS but the rest barring Devil's Rejects were the definition of mediocrity-I won't miss his efforts.

No tears here either ...
He always casts his wife, who seems sweet, but is usually pretty awful as an actress.

Well he says he is going to take a break from them. I for one like most of his films and was looking forward to his next film.

He just made alot of horror movie fans happy, but I have always liked his style, especially his first two movies.

I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but I've never hated Rob Zombie myself. I do like the way his movies look at least, I think his visuals are usually pretty impressive even if his movies sometimes aren't the best.
Allover the internet people are spouting off stuff like "thank god, he ruined the Halloween series!", I didn't think his Halloweens were all that terrible, though I've never been too into Halloween from the get go. And did these people see all of the Halloween movies, a lot of them aren't very good.

Not a fan of his movies outside of the Devil's Rejects. I used to have high hopes..now not so much.

I'm kinda bummer as well. I don't think any of his films are really all that good, but I always thought the guy had potential. Granted, he did specifically say that he's not going to make any "horror-themed" films. So, he could just be planning on stepping into another genre, which I actually think might be a good move for him as it could force him to sharpen up his skills.

I always considered him a disappointment. Back in the 90s before he ever lifted a camera he always played up how he hated modern horror films and had a love for the classics but when he had the chance he never delivered on his promise. Such wasted potential. What Rob Zombie has taught me is that nobody should strive to be an auteur. If you're going to be a writer then don't be a director, and if you're a director don't be the writer. Very few people in this world have the talent to be both.

He said this back before Lords Of Salem was even released, but I guess the news is just now making the rounds.
For the most part, I've enjoyed his films (except for Haunted World Of El Superbeasto, which I hated). I wouldn't call myself a fan, but his films are far from the bottom of the barrel in the grand scheme of the horror genre. And as far as his Halloween remake goes, there are much worse remakes out there. |

Yeah, he also said at one time that he would never do a remake. Needless to say, he has a bit of a reputation for being full of shit.

No great loss. Except for The Devil's Rejects, I could care less.
Of course, he's probably full of shit...

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, Cletus.
Please don't ever come back. Thanks :-)

Damn. What an enormous loss for the horror community. He showed such diversity in terms of his characters and dialogue. Now we'll never get a remake of The Shining where Danny is reimagined as a chubby metal-loving, animal-torturing, grungy hippie kid. I'll cry for the loss of brilliant scenes of hippie Danny and Ken Foree's Dick Hallorann talking about what a muthafuckin' drag it is to have such freaky powers.
Please Zombie, keep your promise. |
