House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

Self-indulgently rubbing its own artifice in your face (particularly unnecessary in a movie about killer clowns and evil cyborg scientists) using cheap editing effects, cutaways to old horror movies and intentionally irritating and stupid teen knife-fodder, this ends up being a rush through a grab-bag of cliches. It picks up when it gets to the weird fantasy-scifi-horror blend of Dr Satan's underground temple lair, and the killer family and associates are all very effective, but they would be better served with at least thirty minutes and all the clever-clever cut out.
