This has long been one of my all-time most admired films. Not the hugest Rob Zombie fan as I find some of his music cheesy (also when I saw him live at Ozzfest in 2005 he was literally walking around saying, not singing, "More Human than Human" in a monotone voice).

Nevertheless, I greatly enjoy him as one of the best directors I have encountered. From the visual musical cuts to the sludgy slapdashery in edits... the story lines and character background that leaves room for a cavalcade of imaginative insinuations by the viewer. The mix of local lore and outsider commentary.

Class warfare, psychopathy, transgenerational poverty and the dangers of being walled up in an isolated microculture. Are there any other films that evoke this same kind of feeling and leave the viewer unsatisfied in the most satisfactory of ways?
