i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It's Rob Zombie's Birthday (12 January), so i celebrated by watching his adult animated horror comedy film which is based on his comic books. Featuring star studded voice cast - Tom Papa, Sheri Moon Zombie, Paul Giamatti, Rosario Dawson, Brian Posehn, Tom Kenny, Dee Wallace, Ken Foree, Danny Trejo, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Daniel Roebuck, Clint Howard, Geoffrey Lewis, Tura Santana and more. It's hilarious from start to finish. It's also in the vein of Ralph Bakshi movies and like Spongebob in a filthy way. I think this flick is more for hardcore fans and not for the sensitive ones. This cartoon is definitely not for children!!!

Haunted World of El Superbeasto, The (2009) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Even though this is an animated film it pretty much has everything you'd expect from a Rob Zombie movie and that's gory violence, non-stop profanity, graphic sex and nudity in just about every frame. The film centers on Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a masked Mexican wrestler who must destroy Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti) with the help of Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie) and her robot assistant. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this film since I wasn't that big of a fan of Zombie's regular movies but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, although I'm sure many will be turned off by the extremely adult nature. If you're easily offended then it's probably best that you skip this thing but if you're got a dark sense of humor then you'll probably find yourself laughing at many of the situations. I think what I enjoyed most were all the nods to previous horror movies as the film not only pays tribute to the likes of KING KONG, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and various others but we get countless monsters including Frankenstein's monster, the Gil Man, Dracula, various werewolves and countless other creatures. We get Nicholson's character from THE SHINING as well as a Peter Lorre character doing a Jekyll and Hyde part. We even get some non-horror actors like Katharine Hepburn in a brief part. Zombie certainly has fun paying respect to these older films and we even get a prologue that goes word for word on the one from FRANKENSTEIN (1931). The vocals by Giamatti, Paga and Zombie are all good and we also get Clint Howard, Danny Trejo, Rosario Dawson, Geoffrey Lewis, Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Ken Foree among others. As with other Zombie movies, this one here is full of dirty profanity that ranges from constant "F" bombs to the redneck humor you'd come to expect. Many of the jokes are sexual in nature but they work here because nothing in the film is meant to be taken too serious. The animation looks pretty good but I think it's the dark images of the screenplay and the brains behind it that makes the film so memorable. Running under 80-minutes, the film eventually runs out of steam but for the most part there's quite a bit here for horror fans to eat up.

This, along with everyone involved in the making and distributing of it, should be burned. It is witless, gormless, self gratifying, putrefyingly hateful and a disgrace to the art of film-making. Y'know; it's all good and fine to set out to offend sensibilities (I think), push and play with them, but that sort of stuff only works when there's a certain level of skill implemented in the execution. It's just a white and sticky explosion of a little boy's immature fantasies and an indication of just how shallow and infantile Rob Zombie's sensibilities are. What a disgusting piece of work.

I borrowed a copy of this after two of my close friends who usually share the same tastes in film swore that this was a must-see. Goes to show that sometimes, even those that you seem to have everything in common with, will sometimes steer you wrong. The convoluted plot of this un-funny mess of a cartoon revolves around a washed-up, Luchador-masked wrestler, his sexy sister crime-fighting side-kick, her perpetually horny robot side-kick, a very white looking stripper who annoyingly talks like she's from the 'hood, a devil-faced megalomaniacal reject with small-man's-syndrome who's infatuated with said annoying stripper, his talking ape side-kick, some Nazi-zombies, and a bunch of other stupid characters. Throw them all in a blender with some retarded and/or seemingly 'racy' scenarios-and you have THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO. I'm not a Rob Zombie hater. I like most of his films-a few I don't. This is one that I obviously don't. I found nothing amusing about the 7th-grade humor and found nothing interesting or entertaining about the film in general. I found the whole film to be an exercise in tedium that took me three sittings to finish. I can't knock anyone who genuinely enjoyed this one-I'm definitely in the minority amongst my peers-but watching EL SUPERBEASTO was like watching a feature-length fart-joke...funny for the first two minutes-dull and mind-numbing any longer than that. Don't get me wrong-I revel in sleazy, sexy, gory, subversive films (read virtually any of my reviews for proof...)-but even Nazi-zombies and robots with gear-shift wieners couldn't save this one for me. 2/10
