First of all, there wasn't much (if any) terror or true horror in the movie. I watched the unrated version, but there was nothing really shocking or terrifying. There was brutal violence, but Rob Zombie's wife's character was a little "over the top"...in an annoying/cringeworthy sort of way at times. Also much of the events that took place were extremely illogical.

It should have been darker and used some horror elements. It felt more like an episode of a Devil's Rejects TV show of some sort. It feels unresolved. A little entertaining for fans, but lackluster overall.

5/10...and that's if you're a fan of the first two. If you disliked the first 2, skip this entirely.

I am reviewing this within hours of it being released. Currently there are 30 total IMDb votes. My guess is when the score settles down after enough people watch it, it'll hover around a 5.8. But, if you like violent crime movies, I recommend checking this out. It is not very long, so there is not too much opportunity cost (it's about 85 minutes I think).

The dialogue did come off kind of tongue-in-cheek at times. Shia did great, as always. Even though I did enjoy being entertained by the movie, I wish it played out differently than it did. I am not saying it has a bad ending. The ending was okay for me and where most of the action is. I wish certain characters in the film played a bigger role in the overall resolve of the movie. This might not make sense, but if you watch it, you'll probably know what I am talking about.

The visuals/cinematography was good. The acting was mostly good. The dialogue was hit or miss. Some of the stuff that was said was kind of corny. One non-spoiler example of corny dialogue would be "Take this gun, it has a lot of murders on it." The way that line was delivered made me cringe. There are a few other examples of that in the movie.

I also feel like the movie did not come full circle. Sure, there might be a tiny bit of a twist...but I would have liked to see the actual last clip to have been in a different setting to bring the film full circle. Again, this probably makes no sense unless you've seen it and remember how the film begins.

It is hard to write a review without spoiling anything. Basically, if you like shoot 'em up crime movies, it's worth checking out. The characters do not go into much depth, but at an 85 minute runtime, that's kind of expected.

I feel like this movie would have been much better if movie theaters were still open; and they had to run test screenings. Maybe a couple changes could/would have been made to improve the film...but I know that Covid, and the realization of a lower ROI of this film without a box office, may not justify investing too much additional work into it.

It will entertain you, but it could have been better....and it probably would have been if Covid wasn't making things more challenging for filmmakers at this time. It's worth a watch, and I think a lot of frustration from the critics is due to the potential this film had. With more character development, some dialogue changes, maybe change up a couple scenes...there is a lot of potential for a great movie. It did feel a little rushed, but hey, I was entertained.

6/10. That's what I give movies that entertain me, but won't stick with me for very long. Worth watching, but probably not worth re-watching. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it...nor would I dissuade anyone from watching it. It's always a treat to see Shia, though...he's a fantastic actor.

It seems like GoT has been shying away from violence and nudity. That was the entire appeal of the show for half of us.
