They’re finally back, the horrifying gang that once terrorised the audience through brutal murders and their uncontrollable lust for violence. We first encountered Baby, Otis and Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie’s 2003 film House of 1000 Corpses where we enter their hell and begin to learn about the horrific atrocities they like to commit. Zombie was back in 2005 withThe Devil’s Rejects, which once again is gory, nasty and features the famous three committing their souls to evil. General consensus ranks The Devil’s Rejects as a better film, however, the vibe that comes from House of 1000 Corpses feels far more like a raw and gritty exploitation film than it’s sequel giving it something more appealing if you like films that are over the top and weird. 3 From Hell has been anticipated by fans for a long time, but it seems that Zombie has grown up somewhat and decided he wanted to make a character-driven film that disappointed fans who were looking for excessive gore and violence.
