The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009)

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

for those of you that like crude jokes, and offbeat sexual humor this is definitely for you, as well as myself,, for those of you that are easily offended this is not for you whatsoever, Rob Zombie does a wonderful job with this,, at first I wasn't sure to expect from an animation movie,, I 've seen a few before but didn't know if Rob could pull it off, the storytelling was great,, our main character El Superbeasto has to battle the devil for starters,, his sister is some kind of secret agent fighting zombie Nazi's,, Superbeasto has the hot's for a stripper with a tattoo on her butt, just so happens that's supposed to be the Devil's girl.. interesting movie with amazing animation,, numerous sight gags,, innuendo about previous horror movies, and rob's movies. with ton's of sexual humor and great character's,, I liked it a lot.

Based upon the comic from Rob Zombie, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" is Rob's film in animation, following the adventures of El Super Beasto and his sexy sultry sidekick and sister, Suzi-X (Sheri Moon).The film starts off almost okay with an introduction that suggests William Castle and his gimmicks... but soon devolves into animated pornography, and followed by a strip club. If you want 80 minutes of animated boobs, this is your kind of movie.I mean, I guess Hitler's head in a vat is always fun... and the references to "Halloween", "The Shining" and other horror classics might be a treat for some fans... but still, it just never really takes off to higher levels and makes "Fritz the Cat" look like high art.I kinda liked the songs, though... gotta admit that.

I ended up catching this movie back a few years ago late at night on one of the premium movie channels (Can't remember if it was Showtime or The Movie Channel). I had heard about the film and didn't really know what to expect considering that Ron Zombie was behind it but I decided to go ahead and give it a chance.After viewing this, I can easily say that if there was ever such a thing as a dirty Nickelodeon cartoon, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto would be it.This movie is NOT for children or the Faint of Heart. It's a Hard R adult animated film filled with violence, gore, sex, nudity, and profanity.It's pretty much a love it or hate it film. If you grew up watching Nickelodeon, you will appreciate the style and animation of the film. I also enjoyed the many references to classic Horror films.The film is very entertaining for it's runtime filled with raunchy humor and over-the-top moments. However, the main problem I had with the film is that the middle of the film has a point where it really felt like it dragged and I felt at times the movie did rely a bit too much on shock value instead of actual jokes.The movie also as quite a few musical numbers in the film that I really enjoyed and were stuck in my head for a while after viewing the film.This film won't be for everyone but if you enjoy Adult Animation and are a fan of Nickelodeon cartoons and classic Horror films, than you will probably enjoy this movie.

At one gag...The rest of the gags weren't that funny. Ren and Stimpy weren't funny, and neither was this, despite the addition of gratuitous sex, violence, gore and zombies. (Nazi Zombies, no less. I think this is the fifth or sixth movie I've seen with "Nazi Zombies" as a joke.) The cover for the DVD says "Not for kids", which is understandable. They should have marked it "Not for anybody". Just when I thought I couldn't find Rosario Dawson more annoying than I already do, she ups it as a smack-talking stripper.There were a lot of references to other movies, all of which were much better. THat implies that the writers actually have SEEN good horror movies, they just didn't understand them.
