I honestly don't know what to expect with Lords of Salem when it premiers next week. There's an anticipation from his diehard fanbase that seems to be electric. I youtubed an interview where Zombie commented on his wish to have set this movie in the 70s, but the budget wasn't there, nor the time. Word of mouth runs the gamut. You could sense a bit of a range between bewilderment and awe to downright confusion and giggles. I'm always a bit on the fence with him, but I do like that the last Halloween film was all his and I think the sentiment for Lords of Salem is that this is all him. For better or worse. He'll always polarize regardless. I will prepare myself for the swear words and raunch, and I hope for cool, creepy visuals. I think there's a visual style when he's on that wins me over. I can only imagine the witches will be quite a sight to behold. It's all guesswork. I plan to anticipate a bit of the "What was that all about?!?!" while watching it, but at least this will be pure Rob Zombie and what derives from that mind of his. Shouldn't be boring.
