Heidi, a radio DJ, is sent a box containing a record -- a "gift from the Lords." The sounds within the grooves trigger flashbacks of her town's violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the Lords back to take revenge on Salem, Massachusetts?
There are great moments of tone and mood, but unfortunately the weaknesses outweigh the strengths. It’s still an interesting film.
Lords of Acid more like, in this finely crafted retro Satanic-panic freakout channeling Polanski, Kubrick, Anger and death metal videos.
A mishmash of ill-fitting horror weirdnesses that will keep hardcore Zombs happy but won't wow the casual dabbler.
Rob Zombie's tale of DJs unwittingly waking the dead in modern-day Salem is frighteningly good.
Featuring some playfully deranged fantasy and flashback sequences to compliment what is overall sober, superior horror, this budding auteur of the macabre is hitting his groove.
