(Paul Giamatti, Rosario Dawson, et al / DVD / R / 2009 / Anchor Bay)
Overview: El Superbeasto aka “Beasto” is an unstoppable superhero masked wrestler, Producer/Director/Star of BeastoWorld Enterprises—and world-famous man of action! In his first full-length animated adventure based on the comic book created by Rob Zombie, Beasto and his super-sexy sister Suzi X must stop the unholy marriage of foul-mouthed stripper Velvet Von Black and diabolical Dr. Satan, or unleash all the sudsy powers of Hell!
DVD Verdict: 'The Haunted World of El Superbeasto' is an animated comedy that also combines elements of a horror and thriller film. It is based upon the comic book series created by Rob Zombie that follows the character of El Superbeasto and his sexy sidekick and sister, Suzi-X, voiced by Sheri Moon.
The film follows the adventures of El Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a washed-up Mexican luchador, and his sultry sidekick and sister Suzi-X (Sheri Moon Zombie) as they confront an evil villain by the name of Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti). The adventure, set in the mythic world of Monsterland, also has a character named Murray the Robot (Brian Posehn).
In a recent interview, Rob Zombie described the film as "Awesome...this little tiny half-a-million dollar direct-to-video movie that expanded into this $10 million animated extravaganza. And it's awesome. It's like an R-rated adult/monster/sex comedy. There's nothing really like it that I can think of. People always say like Ralph Bakshi's stuff, but...it's [more] like if SpongeBob and Scooby-Doo were filthy!"
