Tickets are now on sale for Event Cinema’s Halloween screening of 3 From Hell, Rob Zombie’s conclusion to the Firefly family trilogy (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects). Sheri Moon Zombie and Danny Trejo also return.
As the movie titles suggest, these films are pretty nasty. By this point, you probably already know if you’re game to see a horror about some psychopaths causing a “firestorm of murder, madness and mayhem.”
But it’s not just violence for the sake of violence, according to the film’s director. Talking with Revolver, Zombie commented about the public’s obsession with murderers. “The media takes these people and makes them superstars, and in this country—like most—fame is everything. People don’t even care what you’re famous for. If you’re famous, they’re like, ‘Whoa!’
“It’s always been there, but we really saw it come alive back in the Seventies with the Manson trial. That guy, I mean, he was on the cover of Rolling Stone! He was on the cover of every magazine like he was a rock star and became one of the most famous humans ever. I wonder when I see all the T-shirts, if half the people wearing them even know what it’s about.”
3 From Hell plays in select New Zealand cinemas 31 October. Find times and book tickets via the link below.
