The look and feel of this film is a total nightmare, and some of the most effective American mood-making in years.

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out
Rotten

It's an audacious piece of filmmaking, but after a while it grows exhausting to watch, particularly when it becomes clear that violence is going to lead to more violence without much story or conscience surfacing.

Keith Phipps, AV Club

Indefensible on a moral level, Rob Zombie's perversely watchable follow-up to his much-reviled cult hit House of 1000 Corpses is loaded with filmmaking energy.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It has to be the sickest, the most twisted, the most deranged movie so far this year. And I'm giving it thumbs up because it's very good at what it wants to be.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

The movie turns quickly into a somewhat clumsily handled chase structure, with no clear point or end.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
