Film Review – The Lords of Salem

After flirting with the abstract and the surreal in the midst of slasher
film shenanigans with “Halloween II,” writer/director Rob Zombie has
decided to scratch the itch in full with “The Lords of Salem.” A bizarre

direction for the helmer, who once had a ball raising hillbilly hell and
now appears to be consumed with atmospheric nightmares, with a heavy
tilt toward psychological erosion. “The Lords of Salem” isn’t for every
taste, with those hankering for a vicious joyride into the black heart

for viewers willing to allow Zombie time to chase artistic impulses and
genre obsessions, to let the doomsday weirdness gradually wash over
