“3 from Hell” is a 2019 horror film written and directed by Rob Zombie. It serves as a sequel to Zombie’s previous films “House of 1000 Corpses” (2003) and “The Devil’s Rejects” (2005). The film stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, and Richard Brake, with Sid Haig reprising his role from the previous films in a limited capacity due to his declining health.
The story picks up where “The Devil’s Rejects” left off, with the surviving members of the murderous Firefly family—Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), Otis (Bill Moseley), and their half-brother Winslow Foxworth “Foxy” Coltrane (Richard Brake)—recovering from a violent police shootout. Miraculously surviving, they are apprehended and put on trial for their crimes. However, they manage to escape from prison, embarking on a new spree of chaos and violence.
“3 from Hell” explores themes of chaos, freedom, and the thin line between good and evil, continuing the grim and gritty style of its predecessors. The film received mixed reviews, with some praising Rob Zombie’s signature style and the performances of the lead actors, while others criticized it for lacking the impact and originality of the earlier films in the series. Despite the mixed critical reception, “3 from Hell” found an audience among fans of Rob Zombie’s work and the horror genre.
