Why You Should Watch Rob Zombie’s Munster Reboot Movie
Rob Zombie is a filmmaker known for his dark and twisted take on horror. So when he announced that he was making a reboot of the beloved 1960s sitcom The Munsters, fans were quite skeptical. But after seeing the first trailer, it’s clear that Rob has a deep love for the original show, and he’s put his unique spin on it to create something that’s both familiar and fresh.

One reason why you should watch the Rob Zombie Munster reboot movie is the cast. The cast of Zombie’s The Munsters is also excellent. Sheri Moon Zombie is perfectly cast as Lily Munster, and Jeff Daniel Phillips is a lot of fun as Herman. Daniel Roebuck is also great as Grandpa Munster and Catherine Schell is a scene-stealer as the maid, Marilyn.
The cinematography too is loud, garish, and brash, and it’s quite amazing compared to anything else one will see in a zombie movie this year. Infact, it fits The Munster’s film pretty well because of the beautifully reconstructed primary color palette. This is an improvement from the original 1966’s Munster film, Go Home! as well as other Rob’s earliest work.
Another reason is that the list of Rob Zombie’s best films contains the likes of Tod Browning’s Dracula, Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Edgar G. Ulmer’s The Black Cat. According to Zombie, he enjoyed these films because they were so sick and demented.
Lastly, before The Munsters film, other filmography contained grisly horror films, until his obvious soft spot for monster zombie movies. His Halloween films too focused on observing the terrible trauma and circumstance that turned Michael Myers into an incredibly feared killer.
Similarly, the film concludes with The Munsters’ iconic opening theme song sequence which was recreated, but m feels so anticlimactic. This recreation was Zombie’s Munster film’s first teaser, released online some months ago.
