3 from Hell (2019)
3/10
Tired rehash of a fantastic movie
17 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed The Devil's Rejects, but this was just a tired rehash. It follows the obligatory formula: setup that establishes how crazy people are, a group of people taken hostage and murdered, the Firefly family running away and then getting betrayed by someone, then a lot of shooting. There's lots of naked women and the trademark kaleidoscope scene that has unfortunately become Rob Zombie's trademark. Sherri Moon Zombie tries to play crazy but comes of as ridiculously annoying, while the rest of the ensemble is lackluster. The script was atrocious; the lines that were supposed to convey the most gravitas were laughably bad, so much so that the person behind me asked her companion if this was supposed to be horror or a comedy. The sole high point was the soundtrack - it was really, really well-done and complimented the movie perfectly.

Final verdict: don't be in a hurry to pay to see this, even when it releases on digital. Wait a couple more years and catch it when it streams on Shudder.
