The Lords of Salem - Movie Review

The Lords of Salem

Synopsis:
The Lords of Salem tells the story of Heidi who is  a DJ on a radio station in Salem. She received  a strange wooden box containing a weird recording that triggers flash backs of bizarre occurrences in the town's past. Is Heidi just going mad or there is a much darker force behind these strange flash backs.

Review:
The Lords of Salem is created by the singular mind of Rob Zombie. I have seen two of his other experimental films: House of 1000 corpses and the sequel The Devil's Rejects - both with graphic violence. I can say that The Lords of Salem is less violent (nearly) but more gory and more twisted. While the other two are about Psychopaths going madder and ending up torturing people, this latest masterpiece of Rob Zombie comes from a darker and more twisted imagination. I saw lots of Satanic stuff like public burning, filthy witches, bloody rituals, sex and weird chants, masturbating priests, mass suicide and many more gory stuff. The story line is also not hard to understand for everything is told and explained. Though this film definitely would get negative reactions especially from normal audience, I gotta give credit to Rob Zombie and his twisted imagination. I don't know how to rate this movie but I must say I like the other film of Zombie more than this.
