3 Directors I Hate

1. Eli Roth - Excessive Gore wrapped in juvenile, unfunny, unscary movies = sht movies. Plus he ACTUALLY proposed to remake The Bad Seed at one point. Yeah Roth u just go ahead and continue in Hollywoods now generic run in remakes and choose a great, SMART, brilliantly performed and subtle portrayal of a killer child and bastardize it with ur frat boy approach. And im being serious just read this HORRIFYING QUOTE!

"The original was a great psychological thriller, and we are going to bastardize and exploit it, ramping up the body counts and killings," said Roth. "This is going to be scary, bloody fun, and we're going to create the next horror icon, a la Freddy, Jason and Chucky. She's this cunning, adorable kid who loves to kill, but also loves 'N Sync.". WTF. Someone form a possy of Jason, Freddy, Micheal, Capt Rhodes, Toxic Avenger and Leatherface to take this piece of scum down pronto!

2. Tom Six - Similar Reasons. Attention grabber.

3. Steve Miner - Ripping off my cherished Day of The Dead and its classic name in a atrocious movie, probably just to cash in on the Dawn remake. Add stealing uncredited scenes from Bava's Bay of Blood (1971) for his underwhelming sequel to Friday the 13th P2. Some may call it inspiration. I call it lazy film-making.

Rob Zombie - I know a lot of people don't care for him, but I love him.

Not including House of 1,000 Corpses which I thought was scatter-shot and way too music video-ish, I agree.  The Devil's Rejects and Halloween '07 especially demonstrate this is a guy with a precise vision.  Say what you will about the stories he chooses to tell, but the way he opts to tell them is intrinsically cinematic. 

The sign of a good director is that you recognize his style when you see it, and I think that can certainly be said for Rob Zombie.  From how he stages his shots, to the cinematography and the visual palette he uses, to his Tarantino-like ability to pick almost the perfect song for the moment (I never, ever liked the song Freebird but changed my tune after I saw TDR), these are signs of a director with a particular and strong point of view.  Whether or not one agrees with that point of view is almost beside the point.

That said, no more screw-ups like H2, Rob.  My forgiveness only goes so far.

Hobo was a spectacular movie, he was right on the spot in this one.
