Paul Magne Haakonsen While this sequel to "House of 1000 corpses" is nowhere near as extreme or absurd as its predecessor, then it is still a very enjoyable movie both as a sequel, but also as a stand-alone movie.It was nice to revisit Otis, Baby, Mama and Spaulding again and follow them on their homicidal roadtrip of sorts. Despite they didn't have Karen Black return to reprise the role as Mama Firefly.The story in "The Devil's Rejects" is straight forward and quite entertaining.It is a shame that the usual Rob Zombie imagery is toned down in this movie, because it was definitely what made "House of 1000 Corpses" so unique in its visual presentation."The Devil's Rejects" is crammed with lots of performances from a bunch of very unique and talented performers, and if you are a movie fan then you will see a lot of familiar faces throughout this thrill ride.This movie is not quite as brutal as its predecessor either, but it was a nice take on it to show a different side to the characters while still keeping that maniacal edge and twist to them.If you enjoyed "House of 1000 Corpses" then you will definitely also enjoy "The Devil's Rejects".

nuoipter termer The devil's rejects is a super sick movie. It's about an extremely psychopathic family. The police go after them for stuff they did and they escape. The main awfulness of the movie is what Otis and Baby do to a group of people at a motel and what Otis does to two of them somewhere in the middle of nowhere. This movie is a sequel to House of 1,000 corpses. That and this were written by Rob Zombie. It seems right that movies like these would come out of the mind of a heavy metal rocker. In this, the sheriff, with help from a friend of Captain Spalding and two bounty hunters, catches them at a whore house and tortures them and tries to kill them for the horrible things they did. The movie is extremely nasty and disturbing and should only be watched by people who like and can take that kind of stuff.

Alan Smithee Esq. Damn, this far exceeded my expectations for a Rob Zombie film. It's an exciting road trip movie with plenty of violence and psychotic yet sympathetic characters. A stand out horror movie. Zombie's films are largely forgettable but not this one. Not even a little bit. It's moody atmosphere is the key. Not played for laughs like some of his work or overly indulgent like most of his films.

wes-connors A prelude informs, "On May 18th, 1978, Sheriff John Quincey Wydell along with local authorities in Ruggsville County led a 'search and destroy' mission on a decaying farmhouse. Inside the house, police discovered a collection of diaries and scrapbook detailing the accounts of more than seventy-five murders. The family responsible for these brutal crimes was forever to be known as 'The Devil's Rejects'," The lurid opening scenes invite questions about the Devil's decision to reject this group of cutthroats, who continue their sadistic violence from "House of 1000 Corpses" (2003). Probably, we are meant to think they are so bad, even the Devil wouldn't have them. So, it's here they stay...Mainly, we follow black-toothed Sid Haig (as Captain Spaulding), sexy blonde Sheri Moon Zombie (as "Baby" Firefly) and demented Bill Moseley (as Otis P. Driftwood). Yes, the names are swiped from Marx Brothers movies, with Groucho's image appearing a couple of times. It's an interesting and potentially plot intriguing homage that adds up to practically nothing... There is very little plot. This film also misses its connection with a bigger picture. "A Clockwork Orange" and "Natural Born Killers" artfully succeeded by shoving society in your eyes and down your throat. "The Devil's Rejects" does a lot of shaky camera shoving, but doesn't strike the chords. The script has some clever lines, but consists mostly of a four-letter word that rhymes with luck...From "Midnight Rider" (the Allman Brothers) to "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd), the music, helps put you in a party mood. This was not done by Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino with "Singin' in the Rain" (via "A Clockwork Orange"), "Blue Velvet" and "Stuck in the Middle with You" (via "Reservoir Dogs"). They struck the notes that crept you out...The clown role played by Mr. Haig is the closest writer-director Rob Zombie comes to touching the nerves. More should have been made of his TV program. Have mobs of kids adore him. Show us his fan mail. Drive the "Love-Hate" relationship between violence and American society home. Haig's intro is the film's highlight. While not especially horrific, it is gross and unpredictable. Love the edit from urination to pouring coffee. Points for the dirty pot, too. The dirty texture in sets and locations is a plus. Other characterizations are one-note, through a few hit it adequately. Former "Three's Company" star Priscilla Barnes gets a special shout-out for versatility, endurance and always giving her all.***** The Devil's Rejects (7/22/2005) Rob Zombie ~ Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, William Forsythe
