AMDRO ANT BLOCK: “DEATH NOTE”

AMDRO ANT BLOCK: “DARK ROOM”

AMDRO ANT BLOCK: “THE ANTS GO MARCHING”

Rob Zombie returns to Amdro for his third commercial. In this ad, a woman is driven crazy by the presence of ants, becoming so consumed that she begins to write all over her face and body. Thankfully, Amdro is to the rescue again, returning even the craziest person to a state of calm.

Rob Zombie adds a touch of horror to this commercial for Woolite detergent. Speaking about the commercial to Nerdist, Rob said “I got a call that this ad agency had pitched this crazy idea to Woolite, and they wanted me to direct it. They essentially wanted a commercial that the first half resembled a horror movie trailer. They needed something along those lines, and they thought I could handle it. It was fun.”

ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY: “FRENCH REVOLUTION”

In 2014, Rob Zombie teamed up with Tony Moore, to direct this short for Assassin’s Creed Unity. The clip is a retelling of the French Revolution, the period in which the game is set.
