Rob Zombie Presents The Munsters

Who is this wife of his who seems to be in every project he does?

My god, that looks like dog shit! The cinematography is horrendous, it looks like an infomercial or public broadcasting attempt at a revival. The acting is really bad. I think this will sweep the Razzies. It has no charm.

It looks so amateurish.

This looks awful. So cheap looking. The actors are all off. Every line reading and every movement is wrong. They have no talent for this kind of farce. It would be far more entertaining to just watch a single episode of the old series than one minute of this.

As with all of Rob Zombie's movies, it just screams "vanity project."

I'm not saying he's incompetent, but this is clearly not his wheelhouse.

Although I guess Tim Burton is happy, since this makes Dark Shadows look better.

At least Herman is wearing the Karloff makeup.

Make up makes no difference when the performance is that bad.

Cosplay gone too far.

Herman and Lily are off to a distracting level. Grampa looks alright though. And yeah, it looks cheap.

I was never a Rob Zombie fan but at least The Devils Rejects and Lords of Salem have a cinematic quality to them. LOS is even gorgeous for long stretches.

But this is looks like pure vomit. WTF?

A behind the scenes making of documentary of this self-congratulatory trainwreck would be more interesting than the film itself. At least you could bask in the glory of all the wrongheaded "artistic choices".

Who keeps letting this no talent hack make “movies”?

One (of many) problems is that this version is TWICE removed from the source. The original 1960's Munsters was a satire on the 1930's Universal Classic Monsters from (then) 30 years ago. This tries to recreate that, but it's been so long from the original source that now it seems like a joke on modern Halloween store costume rejects. It simply doesn't work.

Besides, who is the audience for this? People who remember the Munsters TV show are pretty old now.

The actors all look too self-conscious. They are aware that they're doing schtick. The trick is to make it seem natural. That's what makes it funny, because the characters don't know that they're odd. If they're in on the joke it doesn't work.

This makes his Halloween II look like Shawshank Redemption.

Listening to this original theme song to The Munster's is far better than this forgettable remake

The Munsters are still shown and they are still funny R15 but they've also had several revivals. Most have been bad though. Lots of younger people know who the Munsters are.

r13 He became popular with the horror/slasher/thriller genre because like his music it takes a brutally 'conservative' edge. He's 'best' at those types of film because it requires little way of direction as they tend to lack plot and it's investment is focused on the moral kills. Quite honestly, I've been waiting for him to do a version of "Hell House" but his public facade would prevent him from doing so.

This I presume means he's having financial woes or worries about the current generation and attempting to go mainstream without going too far off brand. . . or perhaps it's just signs of dementia.

either way as a salty, bitter, whore.. I can't help but hope this trainwreck comes to fruitition and completely decimates his legacy.

I was wondering where Eddie and Marilyn were. Since it's a prequel that explains it. Hopefully they'll make an appearance towards the end.

It would be nice to have Marilyn since the joke is that she's the "normal" one, and a beauty as well. Contrast adds interest.

I mean, if it was at least in black and white, it would look fractionally better.

Was it made with an iPhone5?

This could easily be the trailer for a porn parody.

This production obviously had no gays involved. Hideous.

That looks like utter garbage! Will Rob Zombie ever accept that his wife can't act? Did he put an unnecessary rape scene in that shit like he does in all of his movies? I thought that Universal Pictures logo at the beginning was a joke since this whole thing looks like it was made on an iPhone, but turns out it's real. This will probably go straight to streaming.

It was made by Universal 1440 Entertainment which is Universal's direct-to-video label, so that's why it looks so cheap. Bloody-Disgusting reported that the budget was going to be 30-40 million. I'm sorry, but there's no fucking way in the world. That trailer made it look like it was 5 to 10 million at most.

Jeff Daniel Phillips voice is wrong for the part. It isn't nearly deep or booming enough to be Herman. And speaking of voices, Sheri was doing some weird thing with hers the entire time that made it seem like she was trying to do an Yvonne De Carlo impression rather than making the character her own. Whatever kind of camera they used made it look very cheap. It just didn't turn out so good.

People have said "Maybe Eddie and Marilyn will be in the sequel." Let's be honest, there isn't going to be one. After that trailer, I think Universal will just quickly get the movie out then act like it never happened like they did with Mockingbird Lane.

Just quit trying to remake the Munsters

The problem in Hollywood is that casting is fucked now, it’s either spouses or friends or minorities for the sake of being a minority. The Addams Family movie would have been cast with Emma Stone and Timothee Chalamet now.

Why would Universal agree to have Zombie cast his wife ? It's not like he's this great director that they have to appease.

I love that picture at R28.

The makeup on the actors in the Rob Zombie looks to scary, unapproachable. They don’t look happy or family.

No Eddie, no Marilyn, no Spot, no Kitty or Raven. Just the 3 and Herman and Lily's love story? I can see why he chose that angle because it is different from the other Munsters adaptations, but it is going to feel weird seeing a Munsters movie without Eddie and Marilyn especially.

Somebody made the trailer black and white and it really does look a whole lot better.

God, the acting is still horrible. His wife should be banned from ever getting in front of a camera.

They look to mean.

It's apparently going to Netflix at some point in the fall.

Universal apparently didn't want this turd on its own platform.

The incredible talent of Fred Gwynne and timely comic sensibility of the original "The Munsters" make any effort to recreate the magic of it pure folly to attempt to recreate!

I mean, Yvonne DeCarlo, for Christ's sake!

If his highly annoying wife is in it then hard pass.

Wow. It’s unbelievably amateurish. .

Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!

The movie is so bad even Eddie and Marilyn knew to stay away.

Yvonne de Carlo's ghost is going to sue.

[quote]Did he put an unnecessary rape scene in that shit like he does in all of his movies?

The whole film is a rape.

[quote]They look to mean.

Oh, dear.

It’s a shame because a campy Munsters movie made in a style similar to the Addams Family movies from the early 90’s could be a nice hit. Get a good cast, good director, put some money into it, put a smart comedy writer behind it and make it something everyone could watch on Halloween on ABC Family.

No one was asking for his low rent, proto pornographic, humorless take on The Munsters.

This is career ending bad. Oh well. I guess it’s time for him to reacquaint himself with Kickstarter.

Or you can own it for yourself on 9/27.

I'm not having my thunder stolen by some kid actor and a blonde cunt!

Chaz Bono had a cameo in 3 From Hell, and now Lily and Herman Munster are covering a song by his parents. Rob Zombie must be a true Cher fan.

R49, are you sure it’s not $9.27?

If even one of us buys it, they can recoup the budget for this turd

I don't know which looks worse. This or Tim Burton's Wednesday series? Both look like garbage.

I have to admit, while she may only be 29, Catherine Zeta Jones is an inspired Morticia Addams, so Wednesday has at least that going for it.

Looks like it’s as awful as everyone said it would be.

I enjoyed it. I think it was visually stunning. The colors and castles were so beautiful. And I think the leads did very well in all their parts. I felt it was fun, entertaining, and I had a good time watching it. I feel it is actually pretty similar to the style of the original, just in color and with different music.
