Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Paul Celano (chelano) This animated film is categorized as a horror film. What makes it this is that it has cameos from many horror monsters and a lot of gore. Other than that, it is not a typical horror film. But that doesn't mean it wasn't great. The movie was very funny and had a lot of great moments. But you have to like this type of film. It is very crude. The voice over cast was amazing. Tom Papa was excellent as El Superbeasto. Brian Posehn was great as the horny robot named Murray. Then you have the character Dr. Satan played by Paul Giamatti. The director of the film was Rob Zombie. So he casted his wife and a few other people from some of his various films. There is also voice cameos from actors that were in old horror films. Like I said, this film really has the voice cast. The story was fun and cheesy and all the action made it possible to enjoy it from start to finish. If you like crude humor, this is a pretty funny film to watch.
Michael_Elliott Haunted World of El Superbeasto, The (2009) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Even though this is an animated film it pretty much has everything you'd expect from a Rob Zombie movie and that's gory violence, non-stop profanity, graphic sex and nudity in just about every frame. The film centers on Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a masked Mexican wrestler who must destroy Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti) with the help of Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie) and her robot assistant. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this film since I wasn't that big of a fan of Zombie's regular movies but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, although I'm sure many will be turned off by the extremely adult nature. If you're easily offended then it's probably best that you skip this thing but if you're got a dark sense of humor then you'll probably find yourself laughing at many of the situations. I think what I enjoyed most were all the nods to previous horror movies as the film not only pays tribute to the likes of KING KONG, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and various others but we get countless monsters including Frankenstein's monster, the Gil Man, Dracula, various werewolves and countless other creatures. We get Nicholson's character from THE SHINING as well as a Peter Lorre character doing a Jekyll and Hyde part. We even get some non-horror actors like Katharine Hepburn in a brief part. Zombie certainly has fun paying respect to these older films and we even get a prologue that goes word for word on the one from FRANKENSTEIN (1931). The vocals by Giamatti, Paga and Zombie are all good and we also get Clint Howard, Danny Trejo, Rosario Dawson, Geoffrey Lewis, Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Ken Foree among others. As with other Zombie movies, this one here is full of dirty profanity that ranges from constant "F" bombs to the redneck humor you'd come to expect. Many of the jokes are sexual in nature but they work here because nothing in the film is meant to be taken too serious. The animation looks pretty good but I think it's the dark images of the screenplay and the brains behind it that makes the film so memorable. Running under 80-minutes, the film eventually runs out of steam but for the most part there's quite a bit here for horror fans to eat up.
miruleyall If you expect something that is intelligent please go back to watching your average cartoon.Smooth, fluid and stylish animation does not hide this strange cartoons weird illustrations.However the voice acting is fantastic, great timing and sense of style.Fun soundtrack and zany visuals put this in a similar category to Drawn together and other dark parodies.Some sections appear like they are straight from a underground forum or viral video's.Rob Z has done a fantastic job.9/10
JoeB131 At one gag...The rest of the gags weren't that funny. Ren and Stimpy weren't funny, and neither was this, despite the addition of gratuitous sex, violence, gore and zombies. (Nazi Zombies, no less. I think this is the fifth or sixth movie I've seen with "Nazi Zombies" as a joke.) The cover for the DVD says "Not for kids", which is understandable. They should have marked it "Not for anybody". Just when I thought I couldn't find Rosario Dawson more annoying than I already do, she ups it as a smack-talking stripper.There were a lot of references to other movies, all of which were much better. THat implies that the writers actually have SEEN good horror movies, they just didn't understand them.
