• 3 From Hell

    Blagged a screener copy of this the other day.

    Was a little apprehensive, as had heard bad things.

    Rob Zombie obviously decided he was premature in killing off characters
    from what was arguably his only decent film. So through a plot
    contrivance, it seems the Devil's Reject's weren't outright killed at
    the end of that film.

    Enter new member Winslow, played by Richard Brake, who busts Otis and
    Baby out of Prison and the 3 decide to head for Mexico, leaving a trail
    of bodies in their wake.

    Captain Spaulding also makes an appearance, in what is little more than
    a guest role. Seems that Sid Haig's "recent" problems with ill health
    have been ongoing for some time, forcing Zombie to restrict his role and introduce a new character to fill in for him.

    Overall I was pleasantly surprised with this and was pleased to say a
    lot of the negative reviews were unfounded. That's not to say the film
    is flawless however.

    My main problem was that this supposedly takes place around 1988, yet
    people still seem to be dressing like its the mid-70s? Also, the first
    half seems to "borrow" quite heavily from Natural Born Killers, whilst
    the second seems to borrow a lot from From Dusk till Dawn, minus the
    vampires, as the 3 quite literally find themselves in a Mexican standoff
    with a drug cartell they've managed to upset.

    Overall I'd say this film falls somewhere inbetween the previous 2 in
    terms of being good. It's much better than "House of 1000 Corpses", but
    not quite as good as "Devil's Rejects". It's certainly much better than
    some of the dross Zombie has churned out in recent years.

    Worth a watch, if you liked "Devil's Rejects" you should enjoy it.

    I am looking forward to seeing it as I did really enjoy THE DEVIL'S REJECTS.

    Considering the title, and the ending of the last one, I thought the
    characters were going to be literally back from the dead to wreak hellish revenge. This stand-off storyline sounds tedious.
