Last night, I finally watched Rob Zombie’s latest directed horror film, “The Lords of Salem”, which stars Rob’s wife, Sheri Moon Zombie in the leading role. It’s about the Salem witches and the occult. I’d have to say that the movie was actually pretty interesting and it was okay but what ruined it was Sheri Moon in the leading role. She’s not a great actress at all, and I think Rob’s film making career is going to tank if he keeps having her in his films. Sheri’s acting sucks and she’s not a good looking lady at all. The plot was actually pretty decent as I liked the story it told — it’s just Rob’s choice of the leading actress that bothered me.

Sheri Moon starred in Rob’s previous films but they were supporting roles for “House of 1,000 Corpses”, “The Devils Rejects”, “Halloween”, and “Halloween II”. Now she gets her first leading role in, “The Lords of Salem”.

From what I understand, Sheri Moon’s acting career started when Rob had her star in many of his solo career music videos. He also had her on a few album single covers and a cover of a remix album. She got her start as a dancer for White Zombie, Rob’s previous band.

She did one Rob Zombie directed-less project for example, she had a role in Tobe Hooper’s, “Toolbox murders”.

I think it’s pretty obvious that Rob is totally obsessed with this woman and he’s doing whatever it takes to give her a big career in film. Well, his goal isn’t working ’cause all of the movies Rob directed with her in it flopped in the box office (with the exception of the “Halloween” remake which was a big hit) and his movies got negative reviews by the public.

Come on, Rob. If the guy can pick other good actresses other than her, than maybe his films WILL be more successful. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next directed horror film he does, he will have Sheri Moon in some type of role again. Rob is a talented film maker and writer. No doubt about that, I’m not knocking his talent at all. I’m only knocking his obsession with Sheri Moon. He really needs to back off on her and give other actresses a chance.

In my opinion, I think she’s just a gold digger who just married him for a career boost and for the money, of course. When will Rob Zombie himself wake up and realize this? I sure can’t wait for the divorce to come ’cause that’s gonna be entertaining stuff. She could be more richer and more famous than him someday — he’s going to one day regret what he did. Again, he’s a creative and talented guy, it’s just that his obsession with Sheri Moon is crazy stuff.

I don’t mean to spoil things with the “Lords of Salem” but I didn’t find it a surprise that the first scene she appeared in… yep, it had to be a nude scene. They didn’t show her tits, though… just her ass.

With that being said, I’m with most movie fans that it’s pretty insane that he have to have her in every film he does. Don’t be surprised if he gets her again for his next movie. I wish he would try to direct a horror film without her for once… he should at least give it a try.
