Synopsis:
Set in the 1970's, two young couples take a misguided tour onto the back roads of America in search of a local legend known as Dr. Satan. Lost and stranded, they are set upon by a bizarre family of psychotics. Murder, cannibalism and satanic rituals are just a few of the thousand horrors that await.

Review:
Much like his music career, this is just another one of Rob Zombie's outrageous, all over the place, crazy wet dreams except turned into a movie. I remember going to a midnight showing of this, when I was under aged, sneaking in with my friend who will remain unnamed's 26 year old girlfriend. I could not have been  more excited to see it, but at the same time was really unsure of what I was about to get myself into. The disturbing & crazy world of Rob Zombie. The more that I have seen it over the years, the more I realize that it's not actually a good film at all. For being a horror or gorefest film, it really takes itself way too seriously, the dialogue from some of the characters is trying to be too smart for a garbage horror film featuring cannibalism & a real life giant monster dude. The only reason we watched this was to see Pre-fame Rainn Wilson & still non-fame Chris Hardwick is early roles. It has an appeal to weirdo horror film buffs or Zombie fans, but to the general public it's just shit.
