Who's the Superbeast? In the last years of the second millennium, visual effects reached a new stage and were just beginning to penetrate into the personal life of the world’s population. And everything new, as you know, is impressive and attractive. Rob Zombie apparently got carried away, releasing a video for his own track in 1999.
Contrary to custom, there are no living dead or anything monstrous, except for Rob himself, who looks very formidable. I do not take into account the robot flashing in several frames and the anthropomorphic creature in a mask. Rob himself is here without a pale makeup, but still well recognized. At least in those shots where there is no . . . And he's got ninety percent timekeeping here. Apparently, Rob did not want his clip to be watched by epilepsy, because at a normal frame rate, when several images are superimposed on each other, it is extremely difficult to disassemble anything. There is no plot here, characters and locations exist in complete chaos. And with the text, this video sequence does not agree so much. I did not see people who were frightened or suffering “below, in the cold air.” What’s more, Rob looks over the computer sky above his head as if he’s looking at the superbeast himself. I believe that the purpose of such a video, which has little to do with the song, is to show it somewhere at a party.
Surprisingly, in the American trailer for Godzilla 2000, the Superbeast track sounds much more harmonious, and it is more appropriate, because there are two “superbeasts”. But in this clip appears a beautiful Sheri Moon in a leather suit and with a katana. A few years before Uma Thurman, notice! It could have been better, old Rob! But for the chic Sheri Moon and the song for which the video was created, so be:
