This movie seems to ride the middle line of personal tastes in movies. You will either love this movie or you will hate it. Obviously if your not into horror movies you will hate it. If you go into this movie expection a sequal to House of 1000 Corpses...you may also hate it. This is one of those films that you need to be ready for what you are going get. I had my expectations and I was not let down in the least. This was a perfect departure from House. It managed to keep the 70's explotation feel and increase upon that effect with the visual filming techniques used and at the same time taking out the 'carnival' feel that House had. The dialogue isnt meant to win awards. When was the last time you heard a group of murderous rednecks really quoting some serious "Mark Twain Shit"? The dialogue, like the movie is meant to amuse / shock and entertain a select audiance. The soundtrack is pure genius and actaully got a Yankee like me into Southern Rock. I laughed my whole way through the movie...had a few times where I felt uneasy..and at the end...wished it wasnt over. A great film for me. Its up to you to decide if its for you.… Expand

Saw this movie with my girlfriend, who was bored by it. Solid performances by all, excepting Sheri Moon, but one would expect solid performances since all the characters are one-dimensional. I thought that this was a poor movie of very little substance. The only people in the audience who seemed to enjoy it were teenage boys. This is light entertainment for fans of the genre. I'd never watch it a second time.… Expand

What a heart warming tale.

It was the best horror flick that ive seen in a long time its suspensful and pretty damn gory it was startling at times and always kept you guessing what was to happen next. I say the firefly family is the sickest and most entertaining family since Norman Bates with his mom in Phsyco and Leatherface with his family in the texas chainsaw massacre you have to appreciate this film.

The Devil's Rejects made for a very interesting watch. Everything a cult-horror fan would expect, from unabashed sadism to raunchy sex to side-slapping one-liners is included. Most of the acting was convincing, with the exception of Sheri Moon. As others have said, many people won't be able to stomach this movie. This won't be for the actual violence pictured (although there is plenty), but the mentality of the movie itself. The audience is throroughly encouraged to feel for a troop of ghastly psycho-killers. That said, the movie was successful in many ways. As stated before, most of the acting was quite convincing. Sid Haig (Capt. Spaulding) was particularly good. As well, Zombie managed to capture the feel of a late 70s B movie quite well. Everything from the 16mm film to the period music just feels right. The violent scenes do their job - that of making the audience feel queasy - to a certain extent. Now for the not-so-good stuff. I came into this movie expecting a gut-wrenching, mind-disturbing cringefest. Although there was plenty of cruelty and sadism, I still got the feeling whilst watching the film that much of the more explicit scenes had been trimmed down. I heard a rumour that Zombie was forced to cut out a few of the more pervasive scenes in order to achieve an R rating. Sadly, this additional editing seems to reverberate throughout the movie. I came in expecting to see the most brutal, shocking peice of film I had ever witnessed, but left being somewhat unimpressed with the level of gore shown. Don't get me wrong, there is violence a'plenty, but I didn't see anything more visually shocking than some of the scenes in 'The Cell' or 'Saw', for example. Perhaps I shoudln't have expected so much - maybe Zombie intended for most of the horror to play on the fact that he so readily blurs the line between good and evil, that the heros are also the villans. Either way, I still felt somehting to be desired once the movie had ended. Overall, The Devil's Rejects proved to be a well made picture, but one that falls short of excellence thanks to a sprinkling of poor acting and a sense that it was still witholding something from moviegoers. I for one say bring on the Director's Cut!… Expand

I loved it in it's own sick and bloody way. But it's definetely not for everyone.

This movie is a mix of sadistic violence, disturbing images, shocking events, and hilarious dialogue; all while being shoved into the 70's, an era with no cell phones, or computers. This, with the devilishly designed characters will leave you satisfied in the end. The DVD is also packed with content on 2 separate discs. There is a good 3-5 hours of extras. Worth a buy? Hell yeah. I'd recommned this movie if: - You have a dark sense of humor - Enjoyed House of 1000 corpses - Want to see a good film. Period.… Expand

Absolutly the worst sequel ive ever seen. nothing but a cops and robbers flik. me and most of the people leaving the theatre where actually talking about how bad it was. (those who stayed for the whole movie anyway.)

Although, I know that some are discouraged by the graphic nature of the film, this should not take away from the fact that it is the best "horror" film in a very, very long time. It is destined to be a cult classic to exceed original films such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead, etc... The soundtrack is absolutely awesome as well.

I'm going to start out by saying some good things about this movie...some very good things as a matter of a fact; Rob Zombie can direct. The performances of the actors in this sequel to House of 1,000 Corpses were just great. William Forsythe is an actor I normally can't stand (except perhaps in his comedic performance long ago in "Raising Arizona") yet Rob Zombie cast him perfectly as a Texas vigilante and he made the most of it. All of the other actors turned in good performances as well and it was fun to see a lot of familiar faces which we may have forgotten about from 1980's sitcoms and moives turn up as well. The movie looked good and the hand picked Southern rock and country tunes blended so well with each scene that it was as though they were written specifically for the movie. So what this all adds up to is that, as I said, Rob Zombie can direct and he is damn good at putting all of the elements of a movie together and getting the most mileage out of his actors. Only one problem; Rob isn't anywhere near as good of a screenwriter as he is a songwriter. While House of 1,000 Corpses may have been dismissed by some as nothing more than a gore-fest I felt that it had a mysterious and intriguing storyline and was an incredibly creative film which poked fun at the horror movies of the '70's while at the same time topping them. Plus, unlike most "horror" movies it really did "horrify" me. The Devil's Rejects, by contrast, is simply a pointless blood fest. One filled with as many crude sexual innuendos and excuses for depictions of torure as Rob could dream up and fit into a hundred minutes. How this movie avoided an NC-17 rating is beyond me; Aside from actual penetration this movie had everything that one could label "pornogrpahic" and then some; Nudity, rape, mutilation, torture, blood, guts and depictions of pointless human anguish at the hands of the film's "anti heroes" filled the entire movie without ever giving us a reason as to why any of it was going on, why we should root for any of the characters or why, for that matter, we would want to pay 8 bucks to sit through any of it. There were a few characters and situations that seemed as though they may lead somewhere interesting but then were discarded in favor of more blood and violence. Even worse, the rich characters of Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), Otis Firefly (Bill Moseley) and Baby Firely (Sheri Moon, Rob's wife) were completely wasted on this film. If you want to see a disturbing and horrifying movie that is actually worth appreciating go rent House of 1,000 Corpses. Skip the "Devil's Rejects". Personally I am hoping that Rob makes another film only this time he gets a real screewriter and a decent story. Or better yet, maybe he should go back to making great rock albums?… Expand

This film does exactly what it sets out to do and you can't take your eyes off of it while it's doing it.

Judging from the audience response this received in the multiplex Cracker Jack box I saw this in, the devil wasn't the ONLY one who rejected the pathologically sadistic (but undeniably if weirdly entertaining) Firefly family. My showing had such a heavy walkout rate that you'd think that the folks who stayed to see the whole thing consisted mostly of the cowpokes from Blazing Saddles settling down to a post-bean-banquet movie! Clearly, Rob Zombie's tribute to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes and many lesser lights in the 1970s psycho-hillbilly drive-in grunge genre isn't for everybody (which a look at both the poster and a cursory knowledge of the writer-director's OTHER career should indicate; I can only assume that some of the viewers who didn't make it through took a left instead of a right down the hallway thinking they'd wandered into Must Love Dogs). I admittedly don't have as much of a taste or stomach for extreme gore as I used to--I waited forever to see Once Upon A Time In Mexico because I'd heard about the eye-gouging and didn't check out last year's Saw until it hit DVD--but I actually and surprisingly found this rather easy to sit through. It's nasty, hard-core stuff, to be sure, but so witty, confidently filmed, and--like Zombie's freshman effort House of 1,000 Corpses--drenched in genuine affection (among other things it's drenched in) for a type of moviemaking Zombie clearly and obviously loves that I was able to put a lot of barriers behind me and rank it second only to Robert Rodriguez' Sin City as 2005's definitive style-over-substance exercise. There's real intelligence at work here, too: how many horror movies have YOU seen in your lifetime that featured a supercilious film-critic type running down the highs and lows of both Groucho Marx's and Otto Preminger's movie careers? It's also hard not to like a movie that sets some sort of modern record for rounding up so many "whatever-happened-to" performers: Zombie gives meaty roles and juicy exposure not only to Filipino-women's-prison-movie superstar Sid Haig (as evil clown Captain Spaulding) but to Warhol/Corman fave Mary Woronov, Police Academy femme formidable Leslie Easterbrook, The Warriors' leading lady (and Ted Knight's very attractive but less flashy daughter on his sitcom Too Close For Comfort) Deborah van Valkenburgh--and, best of all, the delightful P. J. Soles, whose indelible contributions to Carrie, the original Halloween, Rock and Roll High School and Stripes in the 1970s and early 80s should have, in a just world, made her a star. Zombie's "K-Tel Greatest Southern Fried Top 40 Hits" soundtrack is an additional plus, especially the definitive anthem of the genre as played over a surprisingly heartfelt, terrifically filmed and edited climax which will put you in mind of Bonnie and Clyde or Thelma and Louise or both of the above. All in all, Zombie made it easy for me to file this in the same ethical/emotional category as the Kill Bill flicks and Pulp Fiction: yes, I know that rape, torture, murder and evisceration are bad and I shouldn't do any of it, but for a couple hours I could enjoy and appreciate the artistry (yes, I said artistry) with which the filmmaker pulled it off. I can't argue too strongly with those who were seriously offended by the movie (and I'd be willing to bet that Leonard Maltin awards it a 'BOMB' in his 2007 Movie Guide)...but even they should be willing to admit that Zombie clearly has umpteen thousand times the cleverness, intelligence and style of genre predecessors Herschell Gordon Lewis, Ted V. Mikels and Al Adamson. Can we all at least agree on that?… Expand

Just a trashy, revolting movie. Not even worthy of note within the horror/suspense/gore genre. Simply exploits sado-masochistic sex combined with ultra violence. Suitable only for blood lusting perverts.

Rob Zombie’s jaunty film is a spectacle of prodigious emotions. The film transcends beyond themes, transcending into heavier, deeper, and complex areas of insanity. Excluding the aghast editing, and filming techniques, the director is not advocating the exploitation of violence, yet feeling, and further exploring the impact of violence. The violence displayed in the film is not frivolous, as it may appear, and with his feelings he creates a voluptuous visual poem. His poetry targets the simplicity of death, and the virulent excess of life. His usage of music surgically sows his vivid imaginations. By his direction, the actors surpass portraying caricatures, or one-dimensional cliché’s. In the Devil’s Rejects, you will reach a treasure, only if you proceed to locate a shovel, and begin excavating.… Expand

People caught in posession of kiddy porn are thrown into jail because the type of people that would watch such a thing are likely to enact the terrible crime. What about the type of people that enjoy movies like this, let alone make them? You seriously need to have some sort of mental illness to enjoy any aspect of this movie or has descensitizing gone this far? Its not that its violent, gory, and sexually twisted. Its that its all that for the sake of being so. There is absolutely no redeeming quality to this terrible movie. Any remote idea in the picture amist all the chaos is a rip off of other much better films. Strongly consider your right to existance if you thought this was a good movie.… Expand

Enjoyed..it got your attention..kept it and made me think what the hell happened..hoping to see more of Ron Zombie doing movies with his merry group of outlaws. Thank you for the best movie in a loong time.

really liked house of 1000 corsps but the devils rejects was a genius the sound track was good choices. waiting to see patientley to see what else rob has in his mind.

Simply an awful, rambling exploitation movie that will serve as the next step up for a generation of horror fans who are so desensitized they can't appreciate anything older than Bruce Campbell one-liners. Mostly plotless, the scenes sprawl out and bask in screaming, torture and gore without so much as a flinch of character development for a twitch of sympathy. It is unafraid to offend, but stands up for nothing as it does so. At best, it's a feature-length whining scream. At worst, it's spineless gore.… Expand

A ride into hell so perverse, violent, horrible and depraved that you can't help but love it! Rob Zombie takes it past the point of all decency, and delivers pure entertainment. If you've ever enjoyed an exploitation movie, or sided with a vicious killer, this will be a joy ride. Also has a great soundtrack that sets the mood perfectly.

Great movie! a must-see.

Every scene appears to have been story-boarded.

An uncompromising piece of horror cinema, that not everyone will love. But I did!

Amazing!!! even better than House of 1000 Corpses. horror fans must see this.

Hick, murdering, wastoids, running amock, beyond any restraint legal or otherwise, slaughtering innocents solely because they're in the wrong place at the wrong time, sexy bimbo nookied daughter, evil henchmen with no soul...Welcome to the Bush Whitehouse. And oh yeah, while your at it, check out The Devil Rejects!

Over all story was good not bad for a sequel.

THE DEVIL’S REJECTS is a well-made film that is sadly missing a soul. Where Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City) recognize conventions as mere tropes to be manipulated, Rob Zombie has yet to understand that convention is something to be defied. He doesn’t see tropes as tropes, cliché as cliché; therefore, he cannot distance himself from them enough to make them interesting. THE DEVIL'S REJECTS is the type of film of which viewers may easily stay two to three steps ahead. It favors style over substance, sacrificing storytelling for technique. Everything in THE DEVIL’S REJECTS is something that one who frequents these type films has seen before and in better films. Even when he thinks he is defying convention, Zombie offers exactly what the viewer expects and in mass, overbearing quantity. REJECTS is a nasty, violent, evil presentation of nasty, violent, and evil people on both sides of the law and Zombie fails to engage the viewer with any of them except through substandard filmic manipulation rather than using old-fashioned storytelling. Zombie has matured as a director. He controls his actors gamely, getting great performances from Sid Haig (Captain Spaulding), Bill Moseley (Otis Driftwood), and Sheri Moon Zombie (Baby), especially Haig whose looks of pain when his daughter (Moon Zombie) is endangered are heart-rending. Zombie also gamely controls the A to Z list of other B-movie stars that peppers the film. Ken Foree (1978’s Dawn of the Dead), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Steve Railsback (Lifeforce), Geoffrey Lewis (Every Which Way But Loose), PJ Soles (Halloween), and Danny Trejo (From Dusk till Dawn) are only a sampling of actors from whom Zombie plies decent, underplayed performances. However, the story in which he has cast them is unfortunately lacking essence required for a film of this type. Tobe Hooper’s 1974 THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is an excellent example of a horror/terror film ripe with subtext about why the killers kill and why the pitiable victims visit the viewer in nightmares long after the film has been viewed. THE DEVIL’S REJECTS, however, lacks any of the necessary components of sympathy or empathy for anyone involved, and that is a problem of writing and not direction or acting. Perhaps Zombie should direct another writer's work, for as it is, DEVIL'S REJECTS does not highlight his growth as a writer of subtext or substance. Several instances of story-telling brilliance are teased but never delivered. For example, the idea of Otis as Christ figure is offered but never followed up. The humanizing of the psychopathic family members while de-humanizing the figures of the law is an attempt to defy convention but only short-changes the viewer. Zombie is, unfortunately, not a talented enough writer or director to humanize his characters other than cheap manipulations of soundtrack (Lynrd Skynrd’s Freebird) and slow-motion flashback video of the psychos during happier times. This is all show to the viewer as the family drives off to lick the wounds of vengeance brought upon them by Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe). It is a shame that this film left me so cold and feeling manipulated. Moreover, Zombie tries very hard to make this a western-themed film with tropes borrowed from Sergio Leone’s ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, Arthur Penn’s BONNIE AND CLYDE, and Sam Peckinpah’s THE WILD BUNCH. However, his not understanding that these films accomplish what they do right the first time, and that they do not need soulless homage is Zombies—and REJECT’S--undoing. If a filmmaker pays homage to those films he or she loves, then said filmmaker should work doubly hard to do the works of art proud that he or she is worshipping. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez do it in their tributes to Japanese, Chinese, Latino, and 1970s grindhouse films. Rob Zombie tries but isn't quite there yet. He's getting there. He is a director to watch. Uwe Boll (House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark) makes film much, much worse and he still gets money to make movies. I doubt Rob Zombie will ever want for a budget. However, he should look to other writers for inspiration and soul. Just remember to cast the great Sid Haig!… Expand

This movie was a big disappointment i know rob zombie can do better. it was a waste of my time and money. i highly suggest not goin to see this sh*tty movie.

Seriously, this is a great movie. Walked into it not having seen House of 1,000 Corpses, left wishing I had three bucks to rent it. An amazingly great film that even someone who's never seen The Hill Have Eyes could appreciate.

Wow. i love horror movies and even terrible horror movies, but this movie is ridicuosly awful. just the absolutely mindbongly bad dialog alone would make this movie impossible to give anything above a 4 in my opinion. then take into account the horribly forced comedy, the fact that there is no plot, the terrible pacing of the film, the relatively low amount of gore, the fact that it adds absolutly nothing new to the genre, some infuriating camera work, its abusrd use of some classic music, and its all around uselessness and you have something that is worse then student film. i give it a 2 points for its gritty realism and some interesting cinemtography and gore, but i would strongly advice not paying full price for this and seeing it on dvd if you have to.… Expand

I really enjoyed the "fun house" spirit that "house of 1,000 corpses captured. I walked out 15 minutes into "The Devils Rejects" (as did about 20% of the audience). No one needs to see this film. It is offensive.

First, it's brilliantly written. The dialogue alone should win an academy award. In a crazy way, it reminds me of "Rocky" because sly wrote and directed a great movie. Rob Zombie skillfully uses humour, suspense, shock and sadistic violence without selling out to the media. That is, no superheros, no commercial shots of coke or pepsi, no 'war of the worlds.' Instead, he sticks with reality, although skewed a bit, it's still a flick that reflects the good and bad of human behavior, the characters will stick to your neurons. In other words, It Rocks!… Expand

This is my ultime favorite movie. Rob Zombie is such a genius. Also, Sheri Moon Zombie is amazing. Otis is my personal favorite. This is a great movie for anyone who likes twisted, sick, demented things. Anyone who thinks this movie is horrible obviously doesn't know what a good horror movie is then. I could watch this movie over and over. each time you notice more and different things about it. I think everyone should give this movie a try. Either you love it or you hate it...I love it!… Expand

No wonder Stephen King liked this - Devil´s rejects is garbage. "Mass murderers and serial killers are sooo cool!" Juvenile, ugly trash.

This is a film for idiots. Never before has one movie so astutely singled out the lowest common denominator from its demographic. It isn't funny, it isn't clever, its badly structured and the direction is indescribably hamfisted. A film this pointless and stupid will be forgotten soon enough, and deservedly so. I'm a huge, HUGE fan of both the horror genre, and its mid 1970's heyday. But, and this is very important, the films of that period were made by disillusioned intellectuals. not meatheaded, petulant antagonists who haven't got a clue about the artistry of the cinematic medium. Where is the subtext? Where are the genuine shocks? Where is the invention? This film is utterly, inarguably appalling. Anyone that doesn't agree, I'd wager, has problems when attempting to spell their own name.… Expand

I thought this was possibly one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen. Everything that comes out of the demented mind of Rob Zombie is pure genious. It had everything a horror/action movie should have. Guns, murder, sick twisted scenes of rape and sex, and just straight out bloody rage. I can't say that this movie is the best horror flick I have ever seen, but it ranks high. Zombie's other movie, House of 1,000 Corpses, was a good one too, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat unlike the predictable horror of it predecessor. Overall, I give it a 10. Go rent it, now.… Expand

Mrs. Zombie has no business in any movie, even this debacle of an action flick.

If nothing else, "The Devil's Rejects" makes the case for the sometimes maligned genre of southern rock as being music that's not exclusively the soundtrack for wistful rednecks who think it's time for a segregation renaissance. In Paul Haggis' "Crash", Laurenz Tate sings "I'm gonna lynch me some...," over a Hank Williams song, in what he believes is to be the genre's ideology. I thought southern rock would've been a better fit because there is a Charlie Pride, but no black equivalent of (pick your favorite) Allman. Rob Zombie's hillbillies are, surprise, liberal. Captain Spaulding(Sid Haig) befriends a black pimp. Standards by Elvin Bishop and Lynryd Skyyrd help re-imagine a south in which being "country"(one of the hostages is ridiculed because he's too urban) is more important than being white. Sicko auteur Rob Zombie goes too far, but like Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City", the violence is taking place, clearly, in an artificial world. While the level of violence in "The Devil's Rejects" isn't exactly justifiable, it is appropriate for Zombie's goal to do what Rodriguez did with the film noir. To take a genre: here, it's the drive-in movie, and pump it full of steroids.… Expand

This movie was freaking awesome I enjoyed it very much. Its the best movie I've seen lately.

It's offensive, sadistic and depraved. It's also one of the best horror/exploitation movies made in the last few years. It's not for everyone, but the right audiences will love this movie.

I can't think of anything better than sex, drugs, murder and guns. whoever says this movie is less than perfect isn;t worth talking to.

pros: pure horror fun; a humongeous leap from 'house of 100 corpses'; great blend of horror, actiaon, and boobs; excellent camera work cons: Iffy script, humor overview: A good, if not great, horror film. I expected it to be horrible because of '100 corpses' but this film really shutted my mouth up. Watch it...you'll enjoy it.

A classic. funny and derogative. well done. Better that 1000 corpses.

If ground fisher is a "fan" of the horror genre, he's got the wrong idea...why over-analyze a movie, with your "one-dimensional" and "substance" bulls..., that was made for pure entertainment purposes in the first place. Look at the classics for god sakes, haha yeah, Bruce Campell is a great actor, his characters jump out of the fucking screan, he's so dimensional he's 3-D, and wow, what substance, he's so deep and emotional.… Expand

Rob Zombie's follow-up to the House of 1000 Corpses. A lot more brutal than the first film & it seems they had a bigger budget as the gore is a lot better. Bill Moseley is superb, portraying the quite disturbingly sick Otis & Sheri Moon is a lot more convincing this time. A bit hit & miss overall but the soundtrack is very well used &, although the Freebird scene is a little cliche, thought it worked well.… Expand

This is a Good Sequal to House of 1000 Corpses and it is Sadistic and Terrifying the Tourtre in this film is something i would never want to go through and it just is a movie to be remembered for how Crazy and Evil it is

Sadistic, sick, and cruel. Who cares people like this are everywhere. The Devil's Rejects is one of the best sequels ever. The characters are humorous and sadistic. You got a sheriff out to destroy the Firefly clan, which composes of Captain Spaulding (a vulgar clown), Otis B. Driftwood (a grumpy individual), Mother Firefly (the "sex appealing" mother), Tiny (a gigantic heart, also serial killer), Rufus (a protective family member) and of course Baby Firefly (a loud and sexy killer). This movie is entertaining and the soundtrack gives it a serious outlook and a grindhouse feel.… Expand
