The most shocking tale of carnage ever seen.

Jerry (Chris Hardwick), Bill (Rainn Wilson), Mary (Jennifer Jostyn) and Denise (Erin Daniels) are two couples out on the road in hopes of writing a book on offbeat roadside attractions. When the four meet Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), they learn of the legend of Dr Satan. When the four take off in search of finding the tree from which Dr Satan was hung, they pick up hitch-hiker Baby (Sheri Moon). When their car breaks down, Baby invites them into her house. This is where the two couples meet the Firefly family, a murderous clan of bizarre people. As the family attacks the unsuspecting couples, Jerry and his friends try to survive the house of 1000 corpses and its dark secrets.

Theatrical report

House of 1000 corpses is a B-grade, horror gore-fest. There is plenty of carnage but the shocking-ness is a lie. CSI: NY is more shocking. Occasional laughs.
