Heidi Hawthrone, is a troubled radio DJ who is sent a strange wooden box containing an album with the inscription a "gift from the lords". After listening to the song, Heidi is haunted by images of the towns violent past and of Margaret Morgan. Playing the song on the radio brings to life the old curse cast by Morgan.
This is written, directed, and produced by Rob Zombie. Naturally, this being a Rob Zombie expect violence, creepy strangeness, nudity, rock music, dreadlocks, and (of course) Sheri Moon Zombie. Surprisingly, this film doesn't overuse swear words like previous Rob Zombie films. This film also has a very limited connection to Rob Zombie's 2006 song The Lords of Salem. The song also is not used in this film. Also, since Rob Zombie maintains all rights to this film's creation, this film is not made for mainstream audiences. This film has a simple story that ends very strangely and with little explanation. All the horrors in this film don't come from jump scares or unsettling storytelling, but through visual scares. Indeed, many of the images are creepy. Although a good general horror film, a lot of it feels like an elongated music video. Sheri Moon Zombie plays the role of Heidi Hawthrone. She was great in creating all the horror images needed for the film. However, more could have been done with her character to make her more compelling.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a good horror film with plenty of horrific images, but the story is too lacking.
Answer to last blog: Actor Dominic Cooper, The Devil's Double, starred in the film My Week with Marilyn.
