Directed by Rob Zombie, the first trailer for The Lords of Salem has gone online. The film follows a DJ’s unintentional reawakening of a 300-year-old coven of witches. Zombie’s movies are usually over the top with gore and schlock (just the way I like it), but the use of Mozart’s “Requiem” accompanying this teaser trailer comes across as a bit more subtle. Coming in just under two minutes, the trailer hints at what became of the 17th century coven, how they returned to contemporary times and what consequences that brings. It’s interesting, but perhaps not enough to win over new fans. Starring Sheri Moon Zombie, Clint Howard, Bruce Davison and Sid Haig, The Lords of Salem opens later this year. Hit the jump to watch the trailer.

Here’s the synopsis for The Lords of Salem:
Heidi (Moon Zombie), a radio station DJ, receives a wooden box containing a record. Heidi listens and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of Salem’s violent past. Is Heidi going mad or are the Lords of Salem returning for revenge on modern day Salem?

cause he is a badassmotherfucka!
meh, could have been good but this just looks like a heavy metal music video. Style over substance, again with random horror shlock. Will avoid!
yeah heavy metal? while opera is playing in the background it just shows scenes of the witchs and people burning. So how did you come to your conclusion again?
Way to judge a movie before seeing ass-clown. Also, we should stop making Iraq war movies that lionize horrific oppressors as valiant soldiers or vietnam war movies or cowboy movies that depict whitey as anything but land stealing dogshit. Fuck yourself.
I think it looks interesting , I am going to watch it. Better than day time tv !
Some of the wide shots with their color palettes reminded me of Kubrick
