It'll be on streaming in no time.
I don't blame Rob Zombie, I blame the people who keep giving him money to direct.

The web says the budget was $30-40m. Since they clearly spent no more than $1m on the movie, where do you think the rest of the money went?

WTF did I just watch?!! Words can't even describe how awful that looks. And I see Zombie's no talent annoying as hell wife is starring in it as well smdh Seriously though, fuck Rob Zombie (god I even cringe having to type out his douchey name) Why in the fuck are these studios still giving this hack money to make his shitty films? Its not like any of them are critically successful or big box office successes. Honestly, they are only loved by the most hardcore "Gore whores" as I like to call them (no offense of course to anyone on here that loves overly gory horror films). IMO the only thing that was appealing about ANY of his films were Sid Haig's performance as Captain Spaulding in House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil Rejects. RIP Sid Haig. Such an underrated actor. Sid's probably rolling over in his grave at that trailer .

I will say, what are my impressions on this trailer? You may or may not ask.
I would say, there's nothng about it that makes me say... if I made a herman munster feature film I could do better. There's no aspect about it that makes me think that.
However, since I watched the trailer for dune last year: There Are a few things about that , that made me say... If I made a dune film I could make some aspects of it better.
Better than what they did. But it's hard to explain what I mean. By that.

I really like House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects, and while Halloween was bad I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I got what his take was, he often said his goal was to make a slasher movie in the style of 21 Grams. It didn't work out but it was him trying to make a "serious work", then he moved on to his artsy phase with Halloween 2 and Lords of Salem where he was going for shlock by way of Kubrick or Jodorowsky. Again, it didn't really work but I could appreciate them because I appreciate filmmakers who are trying to do something outside their wheelhouse. Then came 31 and I legitimately liked that movie, I thought it was finally Rob Zombie returning to his actual wheelhouse, it's just an old school exploitation throwback like his first two movies. I thought he had created a pretty iconic horror villain in Doomhead, one that could go on to star in sequels... then came that awful Devils Rejects sequel and all that benefit of the doubt I gave him for Halloween and Lords of Salem, and all that hope I had after 31 melted away over the course of the movies runtime and I accepted that Rob Zombie is the Kevin Smith of horror.
There are worse things to be than the Kevin Smith of Horror, he's not a studio hack nor does he make cynical cash grabs, you can tell he makes movies with his fans in mind, but he's a slacker rich guy making movies about things he doesn't understand, and it's just an opportunity to hang out with friends and bullshit their way through a film shoot. I look at this Munsters trailer and see the same thing I see in Kevin Smith's Clerks III trailer. Clerks and Munsters are actually very similar things, they're both about weird people who are forced to mesh with society because of their working class status. The Munsters aren't rich like the Addams Family, they can't afford to sit in their mansion and be eccentric, they have to find ways to fit into the social structure in order to get by. Same with the guys in Clerks, if they were doing what they wanted to do they'd be Kevin Smith and make bad movies, do comic con appearances and record a podcast, but they can't because they have to go to their low wage jobs and mingle with the squares. In 2022, neither Rob Zombie nor Kevin Smith know what it means to be working class or be forced to be the oddball in a crowd of normal people, so they're forced to make something they have experience with, it seems apparent Rob Zombie is making a tribute to his relationship with Sherri Moon Zombie and Kevin Smith is making a movie about his heart attack. I've seen the experience of a working class person recovering from heart failure, they aren't making movies.

Rob Zombie Sets the Record Straight on The Munsters Movie: “F**k, I Wish I Had That Kind of Budget”"How the hell did everyone get the idea that The Munsters cost 40 millions dollars?" consequence.net/2022/07/rob-zombie-the-munsters-budget/"Following the unveiling of a couple of trailers for The Munsters and the news that the movie is heading straight to Netflix and home release in September, Rob Zombie has cleared up some rumors concerning his film adaptation of the 1960s sitcom. When the movie was first announced, early reports suggested that it would premiere in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service simultaneously. According to Zombie, that was never the case. In a new Facebook post, he declared that the movie was always meant to be released on Netflix, while also insisting that reports about the film’s budget were grossly exaggerated. The rocker-director’s full post reads as follows: “ How the hell did everyone get the idea that The Munsters cost 40 millions dollars? F**k, I wish I had that kind of budget. To put a little perspective on it all if you add up the budgets of Halloween 2, The Lords of Salem, 31, 3 From Hell and The Munsters all together it wouldn’t even add up to 30 million. Also the movie was never going to theaters or Peacock or Paramount. It was always being made for Netflix which is fine since it is the largest of the streaming services. This was done way before I ever got involved in the project. I have no control or say over this type of stuff. This is a Universal deal. But the internet loves to invent rumors which somehow turns to facts so the fans can get all bend out of shape. None of this actually matters but thought you might like the real story. RZ” The first two trailers of the movie do give off a low-budget vibe, and were met with some online ridicule on Reddit and social media. However, they do capture the campiness and feel of the original sitcom. As for casting familiar faces from his previous movies, Zombie explained to Entertainment Weekly, “ I wanted to cast people that had worked together a lot. I couldn’t risk getting on set in Budapest and going, my leads aren’t getting along, they have no chemistry. So that’s why I chose the cast I chose. Jeff Daniel Phillips and Sheri Moon Zombie and Daniel Roebuck, they work together a lot and I knew they would just fall right into it.” The Munsters, as reported, will hit Netflix in September, and will also be available for purchase on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on September 27th. Pre-orders are available here."

So I am about 10 minutes in and what the visual style reminds me of is the parts in Tales of the Crypt before and after the actual story starts, where it is focusing on the Cryptkeeper or the parts with John Carpenter in Body Bags.
I keep expecting the Cryptkeeper to show up.

Watched it today. I think it definitely got better in its second half when the elements from the tv series started to come into place.

Watched it today. I think it definitely got better in its second half when the elements from the tv series started to come into place. I agree, it gets a lot better in the second half. I think it is somewhat about Rob Zombie himself and Sheri Moon Zombie falling in love and Grandpa is sort of playing the part of the critics of his movies. There was a part where I spit out my drink from laughing when Grandpa says "I feel my braincells dying." With the look of the movie I think he is going for a Roger Corman style, though it doesn't really work. Sheri Moon Zombie is a terrible comedic actress, but I actually don't mind the actor playing Herrman Munster. He is sort of charming in a very oddball way, even though he doesn't remind me of Fred Gwynn's performance at all, at least not vocally.

The movie starts off very bad, but it gets significantly better as it goes along. Honestly it is probably my second favorite of Rob Zombie's movies. My biggest problem with the movie is Sheri Moon Zombie's terrible comedic acting.
5.5/10
