My BIG problem with this movie (Spoilers)

"The idea to try and turn the villains into the victims just doesn't work, especially not in a horror series like this. This movie is particularly bad cos it's pretty clear that they want you to feel bad for the trio of murderers in the scene with the cop at the end. They clearly want you to actually care about the mother being murdered in prison, the film want's to basically act like the 3 villains are deserving of your sympathy.. when barely an hour before, they were literally raping a woman with a gun and cutting people's faces off to use them like masks."

I don't see it this way.

It's an over the top revenge horror show, and some pretty entertaining characters:

Bill Mosely as Otis Driftwood

"There is no &uckin' ice cream in your &uckin' future."

William Forsyth as Sheriff Wydell

"What did you say about the King?"

and best of all, Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding

"What's the matter, kid? Don't ya like clowns?"


And the soundtrack rocks.







"I'm gonna have to be taking your car today. See I have some top secret clown business that supersedes any plans that you might have for this here vehicle."

Never throw away a chance for happiness too quickly...it can get to be a habit.

Well I must be an idiot because it worked on me. When they were first driving away, and we finally saw the police roadblock, I threw my arms up and said, "I can't take much more of this!" But most of all, I felt sad for the 3, and had felt sad since they were tied up in the house.

Never felt any sympathy for them, although this is one of the very few movies where I was rooting for the psycho murderer. I knew they were gonna get ended and thought it was a cool way to end the movie. The only one I felt "sympathy" for was Charlie, because every scene he was in was pretty great. "Rhode Island reds! I like them." ..."Are you saying that I would cut the head off a chicken, stick my d!ck in it, F_ck it! And go ahhhh?

"This movie is particularly bad cos it's pretty clear that they want you to feel bad for the trio of murderers in the scene with the cop at the end."

Really? Well, they failed big time. Never in my movie experience (well if we consider TV shows, Sons of Anarchy is a serious contender as well) did I hate the main characters as much. They were abysmal pieces of trash.

I think it is more like Hannibal Lector movies, where you just enjoy the characters even though they are evil and need to be defeated.
