Watch The Haunted World of El Superbeasto For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Absolutely the worst movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

A Masterpiece!

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.

From the perverse mind of shock director Rob Zombie comes this warped late night animated horror comedy about a self-absorbed ex-wrestler and rampant self-promoter(..and sometime crimefighter) El Superbeasto who must upend a scrawny nerd, Dr. Satan, who plans to marry his 23rd bride(..her selection depends solely on whether or not she has the 666 tattooed on her ass cheek!)and in doing so will be equipped with monumental power, enough to overthrow cities and kill anyone he so pleases, citizens, kitty cats, babies, even Santa Claus(..how dare he?!?!)! With the help of his babelicious sister Suzi X and her dependable robotic love machine, El Superbeasto will need to stop Satan's wedding to a bitchy stripper, Velvet Von Black, or else apocalyptic doom will be on the horizon. With voice work from such familiar faces as Clint Howard, Cassandra(Elvira)Peterson, Sheri Moon Zombie, Geoffrey Lewis, Rosario Dawson, Dee Wallace, Bill Moseley(..as, you guessed it, Otis Driftwood from Zombie's The Devil's Rejects), Sid Haig(..as, you guessed it, Captain Spalding), Ken Foree, and Paul Giammati. I think "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" will appeal mostly to fans of Rob Zombie who enjoy his brand of filthy humor. Plenty of animated tits, monsters, homages to classic horror(..his tribute to the opening of Frankenstein involving Edward Van Sloan's introduction to an audience, the Bride of Frankenstein, Carrie, the absolutely perfect opening credits mimicking Universal Studios and poverty row cheapies, Planet of the Apes, King Kong, and a host of others), funny jabs towards feminist actresses like Barbara Streisand and Janeane Garofalo, blood and gore, profanity, sex jokes non-stop, and loving jabs at every cultural stereotype under the sun. I imagine this was Zombie's dream, to make an animated film entirely his own, be damned to those who hate him, understanding that those affectionate towards what he considers humorous would lap this up with a smile on their faces. It revels in bad taste, and I can't recall a film where so many big bouncing breasts split from underneath outfits. I could easily see El Superbeasto shown in a triple feature with "Heavy Metal" and "Fritz the Cat", it fits the mould of animated movies designed for a more adult audience(..or for teenage sci-fi/horror geeks as I once was)desiring their humor naughty and trashy. It doesn't surprise me that El Superbeasto failed with a number of critics and audiences, Zombie is an acquired taste, but I can not deny the fact that I was entertained by a lot of the (sight)gags and tributes to horror and sci-fi. Several musical interludes pop up from time to time, my favorite a expository sequence for Suzi X..if there ever was an animated character I'd like to take into my love nest(..besides Jessica Rabbit)it'd be Suzi X, yum, yum. Like a lot of comedies, El Superbeasto is hit and miss, depending on whether or not you laugh at what Zombie considers funny.

I'll just start by saying I'm a huge fan of Rob Zombie's films, his dream for House of 1,000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects turned out to create two films that hold more icon and fun than you could know what to do with. I really expected him to do the same with animated movie, I sorta expected a trashy cartoon with jokes every 5 seconds, funny or not, just crammed with stuff you'd see in a Zombie cartoon (Family Guy-ish material). Sadly, the jokes truly are far inbetween, and end up not being funny. There's so much room for jokes and genius work that you truly get bored halfway through the movie, although the first half really does make you smile.Beyond the fact it's missing a lot of jokes, this cartoon really isn't set up well (or extravegantly). The voice casting and character organization seems way off for the most part, there's really no originality to this cartoon...everything seems like such a rip off of so many cartoon get-ups. Turn Adult Swim on and you see everything this film has plus so much more. I'm a constant defender that Corpses was so unique and iconic despite it's Chainsaw Massacre similarities, but I just can't find the same iconic sense in this cartoon. I just don't feel like Zombie hit the spot at all, it felt very 'tried'.All in all, I feel like it would have been a muchhh better idea if he were to have pitched this idea to adult swim, the cartoon does have characters you want to watch somewhat, and a little time on television would have given the show where it could receive feedback and work out it's kinks. It seems very much like the first episode of some adult swim cartoon that hasn't gotten together its act. =/

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
