The Haunted World of El Superbeasto Movie Review

This past Saturday night there was a one night showing of Rob Zombies rated R cartoon, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. This movie has everything I like, nudity, gore, clown business, language, cartoon, awesome songs, zombie Nazi’s, violence, and the voice of a G’d out Rosario Dawson. I am so glad I got to see this piece of film on the big screen. So the review is to go see this movie, NOW!!!!! Now some details for all you meat eaters.

First off this movie is not for everyone, it caters to a specific group of movie/comic/horror/psycho nerds lovers. This cartoon is based on Rob Zombie’s comic book, which I never read, but I think I got the idea very early on. This film’s animation style is a piece of 2-D beauty, the most comparable style would be Ren & Stimpy, only uncensored and totally uninhibited. The flick loosely follows the exploits of el Superbeasto, a former luchador turned pseudo celebrity that makes porn. His libido is out of control and causes him to get into to some seriously horrific trouble. The voice actor, Tom Papa, does a spectacular job of bringing this character to life.

The best charter for me hands down was Sheri Moon Zombies’ character, Suzi X. She runs secret missions with her brother, el Superbeasto, in this flick her current mission is to hunt down and kill Hitler’s head in a jar while getting chased by Nazi Zombies, fuckin awesome.

There are a lot of other memorable characters/voice actors. Rosario Dawson’s takes her NYC stripper style and breathes life into Velvet Von Black. Paul Giamatti character,  Dr. Satan needs Von Black because she bares the mark of the beast (666) on her right ass cheek, once wed Dr. Satan he will be filled with all the powers of hell and can truly live up to his name. the only problem is el Superbeasto wants to tap that ass. There are a bunch of cameos in this movie, mostly from House of a 1000 Corpses, Danny Trejo, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira, mistress of the night) Jason Vorhees and in the opening sequence el Superbeasto hits a knife wielding Michael Myers with his car as he is trying to cross the street! In fact el Superbeasto has to turn on the wipers cause Mikey get stuck to the windshield, classic.

There is a lot of cartoon T & A, A LOT. So much so that the violence, blood and gore that splatters all over the screen takes a back seat. I think it’s great that a raunchy cartoon has made it onto the big screen, the Japanese have been doing it for years, in fact Rob Zombie expresses that idea in this film through the medium of song, which brings me to my next point, the MUSIC.

The Music in this movie ROCKS. It is on par with the South Park movie and in the words of Martha, “that’s a good thing” I don’t want to give too much away so I am gonna leave it at that, which should be enough, seriously.

This movie made me laugh from start to finish. Like I said it’s not for everyone, but it was great to see 2-D animation get its shine, even if was for 1 night. The people I saw it with complained that the movie was a tad on the long side, which I could agree with, but then again I could have watched another 3 hours, but that’s cause I love cartoons. The other thing I disliked was the lack of people that showed up to this movie; I think that there was a total of 15 people, which is why animation in this country is going way south.

Final thoughts, between the a smart gorilla, a transforming robots, and buckets of blood and cartoon tits you made this geeks’ Saturday night, THANKS ROB ZOMBIE, you the man.
