Finally, the first full trailer for the imminent Rob Zombie the monsters The movie landed this Wednesday… and it’s not what we expected. Aside from being marketed as a comedic love story, as the film will reveal how Herman (Jeff Daniel Phillips) and Lily (Sheri Moon Zombie) fell in love, the reboot of the classic 1960s sitcom seems very mild. ..genuinely terrible.
At least, that’s what many fans of the fearsome family are saying on social media. While many were expecting something extremely authentic to the OG show, just with a bigger budget, or maybe even a bold new take on the IP, this trailer indicates that Zombie has actually delivered something more in line with a well-meaning fan but with insufficient funds. movie than a much-hyped production that Universal will soon be putting in theaters and streaming.
To be fair, there are those who are rocking the tone that Zombie has cooked up, feeling that its retro-camp style fits in with the classic show. However, the vast majority of voices on Twitter make it clear that the trailer has greatly let them down.
Whether you’re a Rob Zombie fan…
… Or not, people know that you are not a fan of this trailer.
It definitely looks like… some kind of parody.
Are we sure this is not the scam version of the real Universal version? monsters restart?
People are really trying to think of something nice to say, God bless them, but… they got nothing.
You have to give Zombie support for taking money from Universal and doing something like this.
not just awful, aggressively horrible.
I think it’s a quote from Shakespeare.
Underrated tweet.
Big words, but possibly accurate.
The Munsters have been off our screens for a sooooo much time, so there was a lot of excitement for this one before today. But while the trailers can sometimes be misleading, it seems like many have already decided that Rob Zombie might have dashed our hopes for Herman and company. coming back big. For those who wish to reserve judgment until the full movie arrives, the monsters will hit the big screen and Peacock this September.
