With all the other remakes over the past 58 years that failed, why did Zombie think he could do anything better? Oh wait, it's Rob Zombie and his wife . I'm glad it failed.
No, it's over an hour and a half long.So, I'm guessing it's 45 minutes long?
It wasn’t even B level horror. It almost felt like an extended opening of an anthology horror series, like Monsters, Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Dark side, or even the opening of Svengoolie show… but not in a “cool retro nod of respect”, sort of way. It was just horrible.Aren't B level horror movies Rob Zombie's schtick?
Sounds like he was successful at turning the Munsters in a B movie then?
Well then he should have said it's an hour an half too long! That would have been a good joke!No, it's over an hour and a half long.
Golf clap.So, I'm guessing it's 45 minutes long?
This is so bad, that watch…. One day, it will be revered as a cult classic. Lol
Probably.A modern day Plan 9?
I made it about 30 mins, mostly fast fwd'd. This thing makes Transylvania 6/5000 look like Citizen Kane !

Maybe an animated movie would have been better .. I can't think of any modern actors or actresses to cast live action !
I didn't think that it was that bad. I've definitely seen worse. My main issue with it was that it seemed like Rob Zombie couldn't decide whether it was supposed to be a parody or an homage. And the actors did a decent job with what they were given but were inconsistent. In some scenes, they felt spot on and just like the original actors while at other times it felt like they were trying too hard to be like the original cast members. Except for the actor that played Grandpa Munster, he was pretty consistent and really did a good job in channeling Al Lewi's Grandpa.Well then he should have said it's an hour an half too long! That would have been a good joke!
Would it not be better to be damned if you do,damned if you don’t by trying something new instead of remakes?I didn't think that it was that bad. I've definitely seen worse.

I think that the inherent problem with these sorts of remakes is trying to walk that fine line in making something original with the source material while at the same time trying to stay true to the original. Stay too faithful and it seems like a cheap copy of the original or a pointless remake. Stray too far from the original and it becomes too much of its own thing so why bother with the remake then? Damned if you, damned if you don't.
Has he ever made an original film? I don't follow him at all but the ones I've heard of have all been remakes.Would it not be better to be damned if you do,damned if you don’t by trying something new instead of remakes?
