No, non parlo della nuova gravidanza di
Briteney che spero, per lei e per tutti noi, duri meno dei 27 mesi della precedente.
Il fatto è che ho visto
La Casa Del Diavolo (
The Devil's Rejects) e posso quindi vantarmi con gli amici di aver visto l'intera filmografia da regista di
Rob Zombie.
Il precedente (
La Casa dei 1000 corpi) difettava un tantino in trama, tecnica registica ed in quasi tutti ciò che noi
non-non-morti identifichiamo col cinema. A parte questo tutto ok.
In questo sequel lo
zio Rob si mette d'impegno e cerca una trama più lineare, una gestione della regia meno delirante ed un approcio molto meno
video-clippistico in generale. C'è perfino una eccellente scelta musicale e tanto tanto
meta-cinema, tra citazioni ed omaggi vari (per certi aspetti siamo al limite del plagio di
Non Aprite Quella Porta, ma Rob Zombie
può permettersi questo ed altro
)
I protagonisti sono sempre quelli: l'allegra e spensierata famiglia
Firefly trascorre le sue giornate tra un omicidio ed una tortura fintanto la polizia non decide che è ora di fare piazza pulita ed assalta la casa; mamma-Firefly viene catturata, mentre il resto della famiglia si dà alla fuga.
Inizia quindi un doppio inseguimento: la polizia alla caccia dei fuggiaschi, ed i nostri eroi alla caccia di nuove vittime innocenti per soddisfare i propri insani appetiti.
I malvagi sono veramente tali, e neanche i buoni scherzano. Un horror che punta sull'ultraviolenza e sul sadismo insensato e fine a se stesso; non c'è giustificazione, non c'è redenzione e non c'è nemmeno la sconfitta dei cattivi (o quanto meno: nessuno che viva la propria sorte come una sconfitta, anzi: tutti allegri in marcia verso la distruzione altrui e propria).
Da segnalare: quell'adorabile creaturina di
Sheri Moon Zombie e l'inattesa comparsa del leggendario
Danny Trejo.
Voto: 6.5 (al netto del fatto che è un film di
Rob Zombie!

Trejo, Danny
Data di nascita: 16 May 1944
Altezza: 5' 9" (1.75 m)
Coniuge: Debbie Trejo::(? - present) 2 children
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:A child drug addict and criminal, Danny Trejo was in and out of jail for 11 years. While serving time in San Quentin, he won the lightweight and welterweight boxing titles. Imprisoned for armed robbery and drug offenses, he successfully completed a 12-step rehabilitation program that changed his life. While speaking at a Cocaine Anonymous meeting in 1985, Trejo met a young man who later called him for support. Trejo went to meet him at what turned out to be the set of Runaway Train (1985). Trejo was immediately offered a role as a convict extra, probably because of his tough tattooed appearance. Also on the set was a screenwriter who did time with Trejo in San Quentin. Remembering Trejo's boxing skills, the screenwriter offered him $350 per day to train the actors for a boxing match. Director Andrei Konchalovsky saw Trejo training Eric Roberts and immediately offered him a featured role as Roberts' opponent in the film. Trejo has subsequently appeared in many other films, usually as a tough criminal or villain.
Trivia random: Is the only actor to appear in all three 'From Dusk Till Dawn' movies.
Citazione random: [After being told the actor might hit back:] "For $350 a day, give him a bat. I used to get beat up for free."
