Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Davis P The Devil's Rejects (2005) is a sequel to House of 1000 Corpses (2003). This sequel features the same characters, but with a very different kind of plot. In this film, the sadistic serial killer family is running the show, the victims aren't the stars here, the killers are. The family is on the run throughout the entire film, with the police and a sheriff with his own agenda after them. There are several different reasons as to why I'm not giving this film nearly as high of a rating as it's predecessor. One, is that it's not nearly as creepy. I feel like all the scariness was sucked out but they piled on the sadism and crudeness. In my opinion, that is a big mistake. I liked the first so much because it wasn't just pointless nasty violence, it was actually creepy and had a unique plot. Here, not so much. Two, there wasn't enough interesting details here to keep me engaged. This film felt very run of the mill and lacked the creativity of 1000 Corpses. The writing was also pretty messy, I feel like they just cursed for the sake of cursing. I am no prude and I have no issue with cursing, but when it's literally every two seconds, it comes across as lazy. Overall, this is not a good horror film and it's predecessor is much better. 4/10.
Fella_shibby I first saw this on a DVD in 2006. This was way better than its predecessor House of 1000 Corpes. It was sleazy, gruesome, and actually funny at times. Otis, Baby, and Captain Spaulding r the outlaws pursued by William Forsythe (The rock, Once upon a time in America) aka Sheriff Wydell as he is hellbent on revenge. While the first one was in one area n one house mostly, the 2nd one is more outside n on the go. This can b termed as a road/revenge/western movie. Now coming to the clichés usually found in most horror flicks. 1)Characters outnumbering a villain who is only armed with a knife, and yet not making any effort to attack the villain. 2)Waiting forever to steal a gun from the villains, then waiting forever to shoot the villain. 3)Villain is down on the ground but not attacking n giving the villain plenty of time and opportunity to get up n attack. 4)N of course the gun is not loaded. 5)Talking a lot before attacking the villain n losing the opportunity. 6)Crying n running helter-shelter n running straight into the arms of a member not realizing that he is part of the gang. Most of the same star cast r continued in this flick. A new addtion is Ken Foree (Dawn of the dead-both new n ol) n the above mentioned sheriff.
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
ten-often Corny camp mixed with a sorry excuse for pornography. If you like graphic sex scenes you may want to watch a movie which gives you an excuse for watching porn. Unfortunately, this isn't that kind of movie.However, if you want to watch a movie which gives you a perfect excuse for watching violent, bloody, rape porn while pretending it is the story and writer/director you are getting off on, this is definitely for you. Wanke away.-----Backseat producers are too busy peering over the driver's seat to lean back and enjoy a movie.
