I feel this could be a super fun watch, I mean, he has wanted to do this his entire life. Despite it looking like a porn parody 😅

 

[Deleted member 9241]

It looks like a fucking web series omg

 

[BWoog]

Are the kids not in the movie?

 

[boontobias]

Been hearing about this for years. I was expecting it to look like a movie

 

[djplaeskool]

This seems delightfully low budget.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

this shit looks embarrassing.

 

[DanteSparda504]

Looks great! I am so pumped for this

 

[Rev408]

that looked really... bad

 

[OhSatan]

Origin story? didn´t see that coming.

also it looked like callback to half their videos.

 

[Cipher Peon]

…………………

oh no…… I was looking forward to this……………….. but that was abominable……………………..

 

[MasterYoshi]

This looks kooky and I'm all for it

 

[Fonst]

He keeps putting his wife in his movies and I can't stand how she acts.

Outside of that, it looks a little off but it is supposed to be campy so maybe that style will work for it?

 

[Garp TXB]

It's the lighting mostly, that makes it look like a Nickelodeon or Disney channel tween show

 

[EssBeeVee]

feel like funny or die had a higher budget

 

[Lord Fanny]

Damn, this looks like the budget was that Rob Zombie had to give the studio money.

Are the kids not in the movie?

Click to shrink...

Not sure, but looks like this is an origin story of when Herman and Lily got together, at least that's how the trailer looks

 

[TheHunter]

this shit looks embarrassing.

Click to shrink...

So...like every other movie he's done?

 

[Burai]

Grandpa having a moustache has really thrown me for a loop. I think it's because everything else looks exactly spot on compared to the original and Munsters Today, so Grandpa having a moustache is proper uncanny valley nope territory.

 

[Digital Dinosaur]

So while this looks like it was shot on an iPhone, the locations, sets, and costumes are fucking fantastic.

 

[obin_gam]

Being the devils advocate here but we all know Zombie can direct with style and cool cinematography. So the camoyness galore on display here is certainly the whole point.

 

[El Bombastico]

Man, this is proof that sometimes doing your passion project isn't always a good thing.

He keeps putting his wife in his movies and I can't stand how she acts.

Click to shrink...

That's cause she can't act.

 

[grang]

Maybe it's because I have no nostalgia for the original, maybe saw a couple reruns when I was a kid...but that looked truly terrible. I'm a fan of most of his movies so I'll probably still give it a shot but yeesh.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

I don't get it. I am a Rob Zombie apologist, but up to and including Lords of Salem, his films at least looked professional. After that, they look horrible. What happened?
Yes, campy vibes, etc. I'll give it a shot. But can't we have it both ways like Burton's Ed Wood?

 

[Grenchel]

The visuals are one thing, but the AUDIO. What the fuck.

 

[Babu93]

This looks like some sort of YouTube fan film??

I get it might be low budget but it doesn't even look like a professionally produced film.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

Are the kids not in the movie?

Click to shrink...

They are not. Before Eddie and Marilyn is Lily's niece so she may be born but she's not in.

Also this looks really interesting. Not the good kind of interesting.

 

[Zutrax]

The visuals are one thing, but the AUDIO. What the fuck.

Click to shrink...

This is what I noticed. Visuals feel intentional at least, but there's no reason a production like this should have shoddy, constantly peaking audio.

 

[Strings]

So while this looks like it was shot on an iPhone, the locations, sets, and costumes are fucking fantastic.

Click to shrink...

Nah, a Park Chan-wook can get this out of an iPhone:

Comments are turned off. Learn more

Click to shrink...

I can't fathom why.

 

[Lys Skygge]

I think it'd look a bit better in black and white.

 

[Alavard]

The visuals are one thing, but the AUDIO. What the fuck.

Click to shrink...

This was the first thing I noticed. Really sounds like an amateur fan-made work.

 

[obin_gam]

I think it'd look a bit better in black and white.

Click to shrink...

Good point. I wouldn't be surprised if a b/w version will be released

 

[plagiarize]

Being the devils advocate here but we all know Zombie can direct with style and cool cinematography. So the camoyness galore on display here is certainly the whole point.

Click to shrink...

I can see why you might choose to try and make the Munsters look like a TV show but I can't say I like how it looks at all. Hopefully there's further work to be done on this footage.

 

[poptire]

 

[PSOreo]

Oh dear. This really does look like and sounds like a web series or something. Literally just from the way it's shot is so awkward. Also what's with Herman's voice? Couldn't even get someone to emulate the original actor no?

 

[Digital Dinosaur]

So looking at some clips of the in-color telefilms made for the Munsters after the original BW show, it looks like Rob is going for that shooting style and vibe. Perhaps what should have been done here, was to ad some grain and analog noise to remove the "soap opera" look and fully clone the original telefilms.

 

[theme park joe]

It looks unbelievably cheap. I'm shocked. I think Dr Horrible looked better.

 

[GrimGrinningGuy]

It looks like a fucking web series omg

Click to shrink...

This was exactly my thought . From like 2006 too

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

So...like every other movie he's done?

Click to shrink...

I honestly thought about which Zombie movies I actually liked and the only 2 I liked were Devil's Rejects and Halloween 1. But everything else has felt like misfires under the guise of being in the spirit of 70s horror. People defend Zombie's stylistic choices but it just seems like his talent and efforts as a director and storywriter has diminished with each subsequent movie.

 

[glaurung]

Riiiiight.

I think this is so meta that it borders on incomprehension.

 

[Rapscallion]

It's more of a "take" than I would've expected. The visuals, the hokey comedy, the strange acting- at least it all seems intentional and with purpose.

Whether or not it'll be good and sustain a full length movie is another question.

 

[Lys Skygge]

Good point. I wouldn't be surprised if a b/w version will be released

Click to shrink...

The lighting lends itself well for black and white.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. What is with the poor audio?

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Monstas

 

[PirateHearts]

Finally this makes sense as a Rob Zombie film, with that color palette and those camera angles. It looks goofy for sure but I'll give it a chance, feels like it'll be a fun time at the movies however it turns out.

 

[UltimateHigh]

hmmm yeah, I dislike everything about this.

 

[kradical]

Looks absolutely terrible

 

[Markratos]

Probably hardly a soul will see this... But I'll give it a try.

 

[Digital Dinosaur]

Nah, a Park Chan-wook can get this out of an iPhone:

Upon consideration, maybe shot on a doorbell camera?

 

[Amalthea]

The green-screen for the car scene looked like Birdemic-level special-effects.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So...like every other movie he's done?

Click to shrink...

Zombie has at least shown that he was technically competent before

This is amateur hour. No way that audio is supposed to sound like that.
