This takes place in Salem MA.A DJ (Sheri Moon Zombie) receives a record recorded by "the Lords". She plays it and it unleashes three witches (Dee Wallace, Patricia Quinn and Judy Geeson) to possess Zombie and make her the bride of Satan.Dark and disturbing full of sick imagery and gratuitous female nudity. Not a lot of blood and gore but the imagery and tone more than make up for it. The acting is excellent across the board and it all leads to a disturbing ending.This was barely released (for some reason) but deserves recognition. I give it a 6.

Rob Zombie's The Lords Of Salem is in my opinion his best film and one that is real well done and original. This movie may not suite the tastes of some of the fans of his previous horror projects, however I do enjoy House Of 1000 Corpses and its sequel The Devil's Rejects quite a bit. I also thought his remake of Halloween was decent and much better and more interesting than most reboots of classic horror genre staples. Anyways, as a fan of the horror genre clearly Rob Zombie is a devoted fan and knows his stuff. He also puts forth the effort to make his films good and goes out of his way to cast good actors that usually don't get their due and are not seen enough in big Hollywood productions. Plus he casts his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie who not only looks great, but gives solid performances on screen. In my opinion, Sherri gives her best performance here and is one that has the most depth. The Lords Of Salem is excellent, creepy, atmospheric horror that brings to mind such classics as Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, and the films of Dario Argento. While, Zombie has no problem wearing his influences on his sleeve, The Lords Of Salem has its own flavor and is real refreshing in modern times where films of this type are nearly extinct and lame and formulaic crap is the norm. I'm grateful for movies like this one that are a nod to the old school, but still have much to offer viewers that love the genre and are interested in seeing something done in the same style, but have a lot to offer with depth and substance while maintain a sense of quality as well.

First off The Lords of Salem is yet another film by the brilliant artist-musician-film director Rob Zombie. This movie was released in 2012 and is a story about basically The American Witch. Unlike Rob Zombie's other films The Lords of Salem is a bit of slow starter very heavily detailed. We purchased The Lords of Salem because we are hardcore Rob Zombie fans, we love his music, art, and films. We consider The House of 1000 Corpses to be a complete work of art, "The Devil's Rejects" to be a very great somewhat extension to the first film. Rob Zombie is an artist, his work is more enjoyable to those that truly see him as an artist. Former films directed by Rob Zombies such as his versions of Halloween and Halloween 2 we feel were better than the originals, yet they still held true to the original stories. This all being said, "The Lords of Salem" was more artistry based of a film, slow moving, detailed, but is a hard film to get in to.Now we watched "The Lords of Salem" a few times now, following Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie) through the story as it slowly exposes that she had a lot to do with a specific coven of witches known as "The Lords of Salem". I can't stress the length of time in this build up enough, maybe too much detail leading up to this was displayed. Of course Rob Zombies' movies are all about the detail which has made them all amazing, this film specifically is just slower based. The film style used in The Lords of Salem is awesome, the characters were played very well, and we also liked the little kick backs here and their noting other movies. Things like Sheri Moon Zombie being referred to as "Baby" for a quick spot in the story, just to name one of these. But yes the cast was perfect, the graphics were very good, and we cannot leave out John 5 for his music contribution and acting.

As I do, then this movie is a fantastic treat. I originally rated this baby 10 stars, but after reading a few reviews I agree on one thing, the story is a bit predictable. Take away that, and this movie to me is everything perfect about cinema. I love movies most when I am attacked with numerous unsettling images and sounds. The scenery, cinematography, atmosphere, color schemes, is overwhelmingly magnificent. Plus, it has more of a plot for the average movie watcher to enjoy then something like House of 1000 Corpses. This movie is dark and beautiful, and the little details are what make it an outstanding achievement. I love Rob Zombie's style, and this movie succeeded on pretty much every single aspect. It did more to impress me than most of the big blockbusters, and Zombie did it on a tiny little budget. How can you not applaud this work of art? Disturbing, creepy, but never less than sadistically brilliant. Loved it.
