Here is your first look at Rob Zombie's take of the 1960s horror sitcom The Munsters, and I have to say this movie looks awful.
It's hard to believe that Universal gave Zombie a $40 million dollar budget to direct this film, which looks like something a bunch of people were filming as some no-budget, cosplay fan film via their iPhone. By far the worst trailer I've ever seen come from a major studio.
Jeff Daniel Phillips, who has worked with Zombie in the past on films The Lords of Salem and 3 From Hell is playing Herman Munster and Sheri Moon Zombie is playing Lily Munster, with Daniel Roebuck co-starring as Grandpa Munster. Richard Brake (31, 3 from Hell) is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang. Catherine Schell (“Space: 1999,” The Return of the Pink Panther) is playing “Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen.”
Dee Wallace, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson and Jorge Garcia will also star in the film, alongside original “The Munsters” television series actors Butch Patrick and Pat Priest.
While the film does look bad, I was thinking that maybe the film would still work if it were filmed in black and white like the original series. I say if you want to see a film based on a popular 60s horror series that elevated the series in a film format instead of making it look worse, check out The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values.
The Munsters premieres in September on Netflix . Check out the trailer below...
