‘Scream 2’ and ‘Psycho’ Make Rob Zombie’s Worst Horror Films List

Scream 2 was great! Jerry O’Connell was hot AF, and Laurie Metcalf was brilliant. Scream 4 was the stinker in that franchise (and Scream 3 wasn’t a whole lot better).

Rob Zombie is brain dead

R1 Scream 2 is the better made film but I found 3 far more entertaining. 4 was fun but filled with bad acting

Jada was the Drew of Scream 2

In my opinion, Zombie has made exactly one good film: The Lords of Salem, so I’m not looking to him as an arbiter of taste.

Psycho is a classic film that has 80 million rip offs, most terrible. I would describe Psycho as a psychological thriller rather than a mere horror film.

I’ve seen a few of his films, but still haven’t seen the one that started it all, House of 1000 Corpses

There are a lot of bad horror movies I agree with on this list. I don’t like any of the Screams at all and never understood the hype. It’s just not scary to me at all and not enjoyable.

The Brendan Fraser Mummy films are action adventure films, not horror, and there's some controversy in horror circles over whether crime thrillers like Psycho and Silence of the Lambs should be classed as horror as they lack a supernatural element. But Rob has never been accused of being an overly nuanced cultural commentator.

I really enjoy Rob Zombies movies especially House of 1000s Corpses.

R9 they’re horror, just a sub-genre. I always felt Horror has different genres, like Scream is definitely a “horror” flick but it’s a Slasher, while something like Poltergeist is more classic horror b

He really doesn't have much room to talk. His takes on the Halloween franchise are pretty widely maligned among the horror community, as are his other films.

Scream 2 was a decent sequel.

Bad date.

R14 we have all seen it, dear

The article clearly states he's talking about the GVS Psycho remake.

To me, Scream and Scream 2 are one (enjoyably) long movie.

His movies are terrible. And I say that as a horror connoisseur.

Horror requires the anticipation of bad things. Dread, in other words. RZ botches that from the start. He thinks nonstop bad things are what horror is, like a twelve year old boy might. He’s wrong.

This list, especially the inclusion of Psycho, is a) a desperate cry for attention, and b) a good indication of how deeply he misunderstands the genre.

John Carpenter hated Rob Zombie's take on "Halloween"

Carpenter >>>>>>>>>>> Rob Zombie

I hated his Halloween also. Halloween 2 was atrocious

Dracula 2000 was kinda sexy, even if it was a lame movie overall. Think of it like a cheap Cinemax flick, and skip over the parts where people aren't naked.

Also, Rob Zombie is a shit filmmaker.

Dracula 2000 is a great bad movie. Very amusing. Psycho remake is unwatchable, not even as camp.

I’ve never watched Dracula 2000. May need to.

The worst horror movie ever is every horror movie Rob Zombie made. Total hack.

His Halloween movies were pure garbage so fuck his opinion.

However, I will be curious to see what he does with The Munsters.

👍👍👍!

Parker Posey made Scream 3 a blast.

A generation from now, the gays on this site will use Parker Posey as the next Viv Vance.

Alliteration strikes again!

Scream 3 is hated by most Scream fans, and you can tell it had different writers and a different Director, and it’s over the top and campy, but I love it. It’s a lot of fun.

The first two were more dark and serious, while 3 was more campy and had humor.

But how can you not be campy and over the top when you cast Parker Posey in a role? I don’t think she can be subtle if she tried.

Lmao “The Curse or Scream 3”

Not only do his movies suck, but they're more torture porn, than true horror which as R18 wisely noted, is about the anticipation of bad things. Plus he continually casts his wooden, talentless wife.

TCM doesn't pay much attention to horror these days, but they used to have interesting commentary about the making of horror movies, which was often cheap & low prestige.

R25 Lily will probably be a stripper in his version of The Munsters.

Who is his wife playing in The Munsters?

Parker Posey was the best part of Scream 3, I hate that her character was killed off and Patrick Demsey's bland detective character survived.

R34 well Sydney needed to protect her hot cock. She wasn’t willing to lose it. Parker Posey lacked that.

I hated HOW she died more than the fact she did die.

R29 all the Screams (except this new one) were directed by Wes Craven

R36 yes but the screenplay and script were not written by the same person. Craven had to try and help the new guy with the characters etc. for 3.

Can't wait for this next weekend!

R37 yes, but 29 said it was a different director as well as a different writer. That's just untrue

The Weinsteins ruined Scream 3. All their interference led to it being a disappointment. Just like they fucked over 54.

Funny how in the early '90s, Miramax was the place for filmmakers when now we know it was anything but.

I always think of his movies as the sort of “porn” of the horror genre.

R40 yes, it’s been revealed over the years that Scream 3 dealt with a lot of studio interference. They didn’t have Kevin fighting back, they had a new guy, and this was his first big budget flick. He struggled with the script and screenplay because these were characters created by someone else, not himself, so he didn’t understand them or connect with them. In his earlier drafts he had Sydney almost as this badass hard chick who kicks ass. That’s when Wes Craven stepped in and helped him with the characters. He then read the first two films screenplays and scripts to get a better feel of them.

The studio then kept interfering, not wanting to show gore and changing the setting of the movie etc.

Scream 4 is pretty much what Scream 3 was supposed to be, but the studio made him change it to Hollywood, and it be a bunch of actors etc. vs locals obsessed with Stab.

The Gus Van Zandt version of Psycho is interesting for Julianne Moore's performance. I'd show it in an acting class with the original.

Everyone else is trying to mimic the original actor. Moore takes the same dialogue, same shots and turns the character into a seemingly man hating lesbian rather than just the bland sister Vera Miles played.

R35

How do YOU know Parker Posey doesn't have a hot cock worth fighting over?

Anyone who loves Scream 3 doesn't know anything about movies. The only horror in Scream 3 is Courteney Cox's hairdo.

R23 saw Dracula 2000 when it came out, it totally sucked. But you do get to see a young Gerard Butler and Vitamin C's tits.

House of 1000 corpses - OK

The Devil's Rejects - great

3 From Hell - horrible

I did like Lord's of Salem and 31 though.

There are characters that are similar to Joker and Harley Quinn. Coincidence?

The major problem with Scream 3 was only having Neve for 2 weeks

Yes, they couldn’t get Neve for more than 2 weeks, and couldn’t get Kevin Williamson until later. If they waited later for him, Neve couldn’t film again at all, so he told them to do it without him and work with her 2 weeks.

I like Scream 2 thanks to Laurie and Timothy. And Parker is the highlight of Scream 3. I don't hate 4, but fuck whoever thought Emma was a good choice.

I still get Dracula 2000 and The Forsaken mixed up.

The only thing I like Rob Zombie for is the line “I am the Nexus one/ I want more life fucker/ I’m not done yet” from “More Human Than Human.” I appreciate fellow Blade Runner fans.

Mummy Returns was a fun action movie. The first was more of a horror film. But the Scorpion King's cgi is a riot 😆

I rewatched Scream 3 recently after not having watched in like 10 years. I kind of laugh at the subplot of the actress who fucked the producer for a part.

R52 life imitates art.

Isn’t it known Carrie Fisher fucked to get Princess Leia?

[Quote] I kind of laugh at the subplot of the actress who fucked the producer for a part.

I would love to know what Harvey Weinstein thought of that plot. Did Wes do that on purpose or just a coincidence?

And i think the Jenna McCarthy scene was supposed to be a dig at SMG.

[quote] I would love to know what Harvey Weinstein thought of that plot. Did Wes do that on purpose or just a coincidence?

I would love to know that too. I remember some horror site a year or two ago had an article speculating on whether the producer fucking or raping actresses was done as some kind of dig at Weinstein. Ehren Kruger wrote the screenplay, i wondered if many people have questioned him on it.
