I don’t know how much use a short clip from what is supposed to be a slow-burn, escalatingly atmospheric horror movie is, but you can catch a minute of Lords Of Salem by clicking on the still above.
This comes from embed-stingy EW, who also have director Rob Zombie summarize the plot.
“My premise is that there was another group of women put to death [during the witch trials] who actually were witches,” explains Zombie. “They vowed to come back and wreak vengeance upon Salem and they do it through this bizarre piece of music. Heidi has some lineage to the witch trials — but she’s also a recovering drug addict. So, in the course of the film, you’re not sure if she’s back on drugs, if she’s losing her mind, or if these events are actually happening to her.”
I’m on record as being all the way on board, and at this point I just want to see the film. The above clip demonstrates that Sheri Moon Zombie still isn’t a particularly convincing actress, and that she’ll be associated with a Rob Zombie stand-in during the film, and that Zombie is back to cutting his films the way he mixes his songs. I’m indifferent, amused, and pleased by those facts respectively.
Here’s the official trailer if you haven’t caught it yet, and remember that this hits April 19th.

I thought his HALLOWEEN was unnecessary more than it was out right BAD. I thought House of 1,000 Corpses was awful, but The Devils Rejects was ace. HALLOWEEN 2 I was kind of in awe of, in how extreme it was. Extremely bad acting. Extremely gory. Everything was pushed to 11, and The directors cut had one of the goriest, saddest death scenes I’ve ever seen. (the one where Laurie Strode is slipping in all the blood and crying and then flashbacks to the victims childhood home movies. YEEESH!) I can’t wait to see this!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree with Mr. Field here. Zombie does have the ability to create haunting, creepy imagery but a storyteller he is not. The recurring redneck background to every story did not work in Halloween, robbing the remakes of the eerie supernatural feeling Michael Myers had going for him. This looks interesting but once again Zombie’s awful actress of a wife is the centre piece, which will make this tedious to watch for me.
Yeah, I can dig this clip despite its goofiness.
Love Devil’s Rejects. Halloween was decent until the 2nd half. HATED Halloween 2.
Not sure why I keep expecting Rob Zombie to do a good flick, Devil’s Rejects is really the only movie out of ALL of his I really like. Kind of like when I was giving Mark Stephen Johnson a pass on Daredevil, then he made Ghost Rider…maybe when I see a filmmaker MIGHT be passionate about something I want to blame “studio interference” until he gets it right.
