Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem - 7/10.
Think of it as a mixture orgy of: Rosemary's Baby/Disney's Hocus Pocus/Cannibal Holocaust and Stanley Kubrick-ish final act. The appearance of the Dimmu Borgir-ish demon was completely unnecessary and it almost reduced the serious horror stuff into a Cradle of Filth music video. I also liked the reference to Manson's Long Hard Road out of Hell music video in the final act of Heidi's transformation.
Is it just me or those 3 old women esp. the redhead one reminded me sooo much of the trio in Disney's Hocus Pocus? One of them even has a Bette Midler vibe minus the humor.
