Please don't spend money on this.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Based upon the comic from Rob Zombie, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" is Rob's film in animation, following the adventures of El Super Beasto and his sexy sultry sidekick and sister, Suzi-X (Sheri Moon).The film starts off almost okay with an introduction that suggests William Castle and his gimmicks... but soon devolves into animated pornography, and followed by a strip club. If you want 80 minutes of animated boobs, this is your kind of movie.I mean, I guess Hitler's head in a vat is always fun... and the references to "Halloween", "The Shining" and other horror classics might be a treat for some fans... but still, it just never really takes off to higher levels and makes "Fritz the Cat" look like high art.I kinda liked the songs, though... gotta admit that.

I ended up catching this movie back a few years ago late at night on one of the premium movie channels (Can't remember if it was Showtime or The Movie Channel). I had heard about the film and didn't really know what to expect considering that Ron Zombie was behind it but I decided to go ahead and give it a chance.After viewing this, I can easily say that if there was ever such a thing as a dirty Nickelodeon cartoon, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto would be it.This movie is NOT for children or the Faint of Heart. It's a Hard R adult animated film filled with violence, gore, sex, nudity, and profanity.It's pretty much a love it or hate it film. If you grew up watching Nickelodeon, you will appreciate the style and animation of the film. I also enjoyed the many references to classic Horror films.The film is very entertaining for it's runtime filled with raunchy humor and over-the-top moments. However, the main problem I had with the film is that the middle of the film has a point where it really felt like it dragged and I felt at times the movie did rely a bit too much on shock value instead of actual jokes.The movie also as quite a few musical numbers in the film that I really enjoyed and were stuck in my head for a while after viewing the film.This film won't be for everyone but if you enjoy Adult Animation and are a fan of Nickelodeon cartoons and classic Horror films, than you will probably enjoy this movie.

I can take or leave Rob Zombie. Some of his movies like "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Devils Rejects" were tons of fun. On the other hand his remake of "Halloween" just put the zombie spin on a classic that was better in its original form. So I had an open mind when I started to watch (I say this because I stopped watching half way through) El Superbesto. This is a boring cartoon with obvious gags and gratuitous sex and violence in cartoon form that starts to put you to sleep after the first 10 times that it's done in the movie. Basically, this is Cartoon Network with a "R" rating and it bored me to death (in fact I actually put on Cartoon Network afterward so I could watch some quality animation. Rob stick with the horror and leave the animation and comedy to the professionals.

I borrowed a copy of this after two of my close friends who usually share the same tastes in film swore that this was a must-see. Goes to show that sometimes, even those that you seem to have everything in common with, will sometimes steer you wrong. The convoluted plot of this un-funny mess of a cartoon revolves around a washed-up, Luchador-masked wrestler, his sexy sister crime-fighting side-kick, her perpetually horny robot side-kick, a very white looking stripper who annoyingly talks like she's from the 'hood, a devil-faced megalomaniacal reject with small-man's-syndrome who's infatuated with said annoying stripper, his talking ape side-kick, some Nazi-zombies, and a bunch of other stupid characters. Throw them all in a blender with some retarded and/or seemingly 'racy' scenarios-and you have THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO. I'm not a Rob Zombie hater. I like most of his films-a few I don't. This is one that I obviously don't. I found nothing amusing about the 7th-grade humor and found nothing interesting or entertaining about the film in general. I found the whole film to be an exercise in tedium that took me three sittings to finish. I can't knock anyone who genuinely enjoyed this one-I'm definitely in the minority amongst my peers-but watching EL SUPERBEASTO was like watching a feature-length fart-joke...funny for the first two minutes-dull and mind-numbing any longer than that. Don't get me wrong-I revel in sleazy, sexy, gory, subversive films (read virtually any of my reviews for proof...)-but even Nazi-zombies and robots with gear-shift wieners couldn't save this one for me. 2/10
