DVD Review - Lords of Salem





From Rob Zombie (the director of House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil Rejects, Halloween & Halloween II) comes his latest venture into the horror genre with The Lords of Salem, which received limited theater run and landed on DVD on September 3, 2013.

Rob's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, stars as a recovering drug addict, Hedi Hawthorne, who works at a radio station as a DJ. A strange wooden box is delivered to the radio station addressed to her, containing an album by the Lords of Salem, a band she or her co-workers (Whitey & Herman) have never heard of before. That night she starts to have strange dreams or more like visions of witches and a baby.

The following day, Hedi and her co-works interview Francis Matthias about his book covering the Salem Witch Trials. They happen to play the strange record that will unleash more strange visions for Hedi. Later that night when she arrives at her home, Hedi shares a drink with her landlord, Lacy, and her two sisters (Sonny and Megan), until an odd situation makes her return to her room where her dog is behaving weird; leading her to enter apartment room 5 where she is confront by a nude witch and a demon.

Is Hedi going mad?
