The Haunted World of El Superbeasto

I bought this movie a few hours before seeing the 70th Anniversary of The Wizard of Oz on the big screen. This movie is incredibly funny with a bunch of sex jokes, toilet humor, foul-mouthed strippers, zombie Nazis, and much more! Rob Zombie can make a very good cartoon. This is the story of a washed-up Mexican luchador named El Superbeasto who tries to be an action hero along with his beautiful sister named Suzi X. Together, try to stop Dr. Satan from marrying Velvet Von Black. I loved all the silly dialog and the spoofs of Michael Myers, Captain Spaulding, and at one point, the film, Carrie is made fun of! I highly recommend THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO!!!

Watching this movie I did nothing but laugh, though I knew it was wrong to laugh at zombie Nazi's getting their heads sliced off by a hot animated busty-blonde-chick with an eye patch, I just couldn't help it. The movie was stylish, funny, and careless, with a "So what?" Attitude. This movie will either leave you in disgust, or laughing until your lungs bleed. Personally for me, this movie was a love, as I can only speak for myself I can't say you'll like it, but if you think you'll like it, then you'll probably love it. If you like immature and comically brutal cartoons, with sex drive and bad-mouth language, then you'll love this!

Among the most inappropriate profanity filled animated feature movies. Rob Zombie's films/music get a ridiculous amount of hate and I don't agree with it he's one of my favorite directors ever! This is easily the weirdest, satanic, nudity enriched, and most violent 87 minutes of animation ever created; I love it the way it is - the more extreme the better! There's a few bleak bits and provocative bits but come on the first 2 minutes literally warn you which is a spectacular thing so yeah the hate this got is just unfortunate, that's all I'll say.

I can take or leave Rob Zombie. Some of his movies like "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Devils Rejects" were tons of fun. On the other hand his remake of "Halloween" just put the zombie spin on a classic that was better in its original form. So I had an open mind when I started to watch (I say this because I stopped watching half way through) El Superbesto. This is a boring cartoon with obvious gags and gratuitous sex and violence in cartoon form that starts to put you to sleep after the first 10 times that it's done in the movie. Basically, this is Cartoon Network with a "R" rating and it bored me to death (in fact I actually put on Cartoon Network afterward so I could watch some quality animation. Rob stick with the horror and leave the animation and comedy to the professionals.

Based upon the comic from Rob Zombie, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" is Rob's film in animation, following the adventures of El Super Beasto and his sexy sultry sidekick and sister, Suzi-X (Sheri Moon). The film starts off almost okay with an introduction that suggests William Castle and his gimmicks... but soon devolves into animated *, and followed by a strip club. If you want 80 minutes of animated *, this is your kind of movie. I mean, I guess Hitler's head in a vat is always fun... and the references to "Halloween", "The Shining" and other horror classics might be a treat for some fans... but still, it just never really takes off to higher levels and makes "Fritz the Cat" look like high art. I kinda liked the songs, though... gotta admit that.

I'm not a Rob Zombie fan. House of 1000 corpses took many, many better ideas and threw them in a blender. Devil's Rejects was worse and his Halloween was just crummy. This however, had exactly one funny bit - the opening, a homage to the original and great Frankenstein. The rest is just a mishmash of crappy animation, rude jokes that sounded like rejects from better shows/movies and a meandering story. Sherri Moon's voice is so damn annoying, I watched the last half with the subtitles on and the sound off. I didn't find any of it particularly offensive, just unoriginal, boring and lifeless. Anyone else think El (the title character) was a rip on Charles Burns far funnier El Borbah? I'd simply avoid this since Ralph Bakshi Zombie Ain't!
