Video Review – The Munsters is Rob Zombie’s campy love-letter to family horror films

September 28, 2022 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Rob Zombie’s The Munsters…

Rob Zombie turns to camp to freshen up his style, and it delivers a fun, family-friendly throwback. The Munsters 2022 is not what you’d expect from the House of 1000 Corpses director, but it’s a refreshing spin down the horror movies for the family route.

While the low-budget filmmaking and cheesy jokes won’t work for everyone, if you loved the original Munsters or even Goosebumps growing up, Rob Zombie’s The Munsters will likely delight you.

Watch the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

From writer/director Rob Zombie comes the strangest love story ever told. Lily is just your typical 150-year-old, lovelorn vampire looking for the man of her nightmares . . . that is until she lays eyes on Herman, a seven-foot-tall, green experiment with a heart of gold. It’s love at first shock as these two ghouls fall fangs over feet in this crazy Transylvanian romance. Unfortunately, it’s not all smooth sailing in the cemetery as Lily’s father The Count has other plans for his beloved daughter’s future, and they don’t involve her bumbling beau, Herman. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll howl at the moon as The Munsters make their way to Mockingbird Lane!

The Munsters features a cast that includes Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily Munster, Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa, Richard Brake as Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang, Sylvester McCoy as Igor, Catherine Schell as Zoya Krupp, Jorge Garcia as Floop and Cassandra Peterson as Barbara Carr.
