Analysis Of Rob Zombie

Rob Zombie is a storyteller of horror with an extreme vision of evil that awakens the dead with deep emotion. Robert Cummings was a child that knew he loved horror movies at an early age. Through dreams, passion and lots of handwork he has become an iconic horror symbol. Rob Zombie has become an authorial archetype of the twenty-first century American horror. He is an auteur. Auteur meaning, “a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie.” As a screenwriter he has found his own unique audience. Some compare him to other horror artists such as Wes Craven. He doesn’t care about that. With various mixed reviews and set backs Rob knew that eventually

He has gained our attention in every media related forum and we can’t look away, even if we try. He has left us cheering, screaming and on the edge of our seats. We leave feeling bad about ourselves for watching his visual storytelling unfold. “You know, it’s like, I’m going to sit here for 90 minutes and watch these guys get fucked up with no hope. That’s what I love about these films, you walk out feeling bad about yourself, saying “Why did I enjoy that? What does this say about me as a person?” It is a cathartic experience that horror lovers can have again and again. Not acting on those horrific urges, but instead, becoming one of his characters that were just never really understood and that evil is real. Evil never dies and revenge always wins or at least in horror
