I can't speak for his music, but his movies have never been anything too original. He copied the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with 1000 Corpse's, Devil's Rejects wasn't groundbreaking, and then he remade one of the best horror movies of all time. Now, he's remade the sequel. And man is this thing loaded to the brim with junk.
Hollywood has a knack for over-explaining everything until it all looks the same and Zombie does nothing to prevent this. This is ironic since everyone featured in the film is trying ever-so-hard to not conform. From the bathroom to the attitudes (though you cannot deny Zombie has his own style). In fact, everyone in the film appears to be a fan of Zombie's music, including a guy driving down the highway. Either way, Meyer's is over-explained even more in the sequel, but if that weren't enough, we're now drowned in this bizarre flashback world that introduces another method of explaining something that has already been explained when there was no need to explain it in the first place. Am I explaining this alright? When you take out the key elements, this movie does exactly what it and its characters don't want to do - conform to the usual standard. This movie is just another girl in a nurse's costume on Halloween, and this girl isn't a looker.
