The Lords of Salem by Rob Zombie

4.0

At the SXSW premiere of Lords of Salem, Zombie opined that “a third of you will love it, a third of you will hate it, and a third of you won’t know what you just saw.” I was definitely in the first third. It was moody, atmospheric, bizarre. Couldn’t look away. Picked up the book on a whim and while I didn’t like it as much as the movie, it was interesting to note the differences between the works. The book is based on his original script which was notably different from what was shot. More detail is given, more insight gleaned. Quick easy and fun if you’re into this sort of thing.
