Plot:
Sequel to 'House of 1000 Corpses' is set some months later with the Texas State Police making a full-scale attack against the murderous Firefly family residence for the 1,000+ murders and disappearances of the past several years. But three of the family members escape, including Otis, Baby Firefly and Baby's father Captain Spaulding. The evil trio go on a road trip, leaving dozens of mangled bodies in their wake. Evading a massive Texas Rangers dragnet as well as a group of equally murderous bounty hunters led by Ken Dwyer (the brother of a policeman Mamma Firefly killed in 'House of...') who's obsessed with finding the deadly killers, the surviving Firefly clan gather at a run-down amusement park owned by Captain Spaulding's half-brother, Charlie Altamont, whom offers them shelter and a new base of operations for their killing spree as Sheriff Dwyer, the Texas Rangers, the FBI and others slowly close in.

Review:
Very comedic, entertaining, fantastic movie - just like House of 1000 Corpses.

The sequal to House of 1000 Corpses, it definately lives up to the original, and even surpasses.

A pleasant homage to Last House on the Left, as well.

The movie is soothing in so many ways. I love the music. And it is so emotional.
How often do you get to see the point-of-view of a loving, murderous, pyscho family? And see how much they love each other, and that they, too, can be normal and silly.

The ending is priceless, one of the best ever!!
