So much better than House of 1000 Corpses. It loses a lot of the silly, cartoon aspects of that movie in favor of a much more gritty tone. I think Rob Zombie's direction matured ridiculously well in just the two years between films. I was pleasantly surprised. "You wanna see badass?!"

The Devil's Rejects is one of the most compromising movies of the last years. It's brutality goes very deep.The mutilation and humiliation is matchless compared to other modern horror movies. Zombie made a lot if you consider that he had to manage with little money.

Better than House of a 1000 Corpses. Captain Spaulding is still awesome, and the ending was epic. Really shows how Rob's filmmaking improved.

Don't really see the big deal in this. Nothing really ground-breaking happens. It's just people on the run, shooting and torturing people. Pointless.

DougReese | 100 96th |
Rob Zombie's ruthless, yet somehow touching, account on a family of psychos is told in a style that captures perfectly that of 70s exploitation classics and horror flicks (including "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") and the spaghetti western genre, managing to make you feel its a newly discovered film from that day in age. The film's final sequence set to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" is emotionally powerful in ways you would never expect a film like "The Devil's Rejects" to be.

Another complete win for Rob Zombie as he brings us this sequel to House of 1000 Corpses. Same outrageously creepy cast of characters with plenty of gore and suspense. Also has a great soundtrack! A must see!

The nihilistic amoral cinema of the 70s makes a hell of a return. Zombie's leap in filmmaking from House of 1000 Corpses to this makes me think he's got real chops. Oh and it's funny. Did I mention it's funny?

A brutal yet smart tribute to hard horror of the 70's: Rob Zombie follows up HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CORPSES with what I'd call a masterpiece of filmmaking. Very few times have we had the opportunity to follow the bad guys - and these ones are bad until the end. You never feel sorry for them, but you sure as hell want to follow their plight to the end. Fantastic directing, great performances and memorable score.

Moribunny | 15 7th |
Gore abounds in this smug, derivative pile of eviscerated innards, but it fails on two critical accounts: First, it's an unfunny, un-campy ripoff of all that is holy to fans of 70s horror such as Texas Chainsaw Masscare and The Hills Have Eyes. Second, it suffers from "Natural Born Killers" syndrome; that is, Mr. Zombie is so inexplicably enamored with the killers that you end up detesting the filmmaker rather than giving a shit about any of the characters.

William Forsythe was awesome as the lead role. It's very odd rooting for the good guy when he feels like the bad guy. All in all though, it was great fun (if you've got a strong stomach).

Twisted, not one for the younger audience. Rob really did a good job on this one, the characters came off the page which in horror flicks rarely happens. Again, it is a twisted film and not for everyone but I did enjoy it.

Imitation becomes the most embarrassing form of flattery in what I hope will be the last Rob Zombie flick I will see. Sid Haig is the only thing worth paying attention to.

amerigo | 86 89th |
It's a very effective exploration of our attraction to horror and our repulsion from it. In a mixture of sex, violence, and torture the deranged clan perpetuates truly horrific things on innocent victims and still somehow we find sympathy in the familial bond of a family of psychopaths. Bizarrely that is exactly what seperates us from them--feeling sympathy for those we hate.

Strive | 39 7th |
Remove all of the charm from House Of 1000 Corpses and replace it with an odd fixation on sexual degradation. At least Rob Zombie's past plan of "pretend to be Tarantino & rewrite the Texas Chainsaw Massacre screenplay" worked for the first 2/3rds of House Of 1000 Corpses. This movie never finds it's feet. All the new characters are horrible. All the old characters are simplified to the point of boredom. The dialog is forced. Plus poor Rob Zombie couldn't write a decent ending to save his life.

Much better than House of 1000 Corpses, Rob Zombie really matured as a director. He really managed to capture that 70's exploitation flick feel.

Big improvement on House of a 1000 Corpses. Great characters, action, and I absolutely love the cinematography and soundtrack. A film that won't cater to everyone but a cult hit this is.

moraesfelipe | 65 62nd |
A lot to NOT like here -- a little too evil for my taste, it feels less wacky than the first, but definitely still disjointed, the excess of handheld camera -- but its virtues are also pretty clear, as Zombie progresses as a filmmaker obsessed with 70s imagery and craziness, putting heavily angled images to southern rock gems as many times as he can. The finale is pure beauty.

A superior sequel that attempts to make us empathise with depraved killers (at least, to empathise with them more than the police). Very much an homage to 70s films.

ABUNCHOFCATS | 83 61st |
Magnificent film throwing back to the old days of horror like Last House on the Left and Texas Chainsaw, the main difference here is it makes the villains so charismatic that you almost end up rooting for them, especially during the final sequence. All around extremely well done horror movie.

Such a stylistic horror flick. Rob Zombie is the master, this is by far the best horror flick I have ever seen. The shots are intense, the situations messed up to no end. This movie was interesting, dark, and like already mentioned completely messed up. Seriously I didnt think Zombie could outdo Corpses but he does and how? I cannot tell you. His written dialogue is much more focused, but the witty moments are still there. Rob Zombie is the new master of the horror genre.

Surprisingly effective horror film. Far superior to House of 1000 Corpses, Zombie is actually a pretty slick director. Captures the sort of gritty Texas Chainsaw feel but is definitely its own unique ride.

glumpy_99 | 71 37th |
More of a conventional "torture-porn" entry than its predecessor in terms of content; the squalid and ugly subject matter is almost redeemed (or at least made memorable) by Zombie's inventive and original handling, not to mention a fine cast who again chew the scenery with abandon. Unconventional plotting and some genuine surprises in the screenplay are positives; one particularly nasty encounter at a truck stop is beautifully staged. Almost silent finale is like a beautiful short in of itself.

Rob Zombie is a far better film maker than musician. I really like The Devil's Rejects because it is just straight to the point fucked up and violent. Lots of fun to watch, and the shit comes out of the characters mouths are hilarious. I really liked the part when they brutally tormented and killed the Banjo family, but my favorite part is the Free Bird car shoot out...instant classic.

A great tribute to 70s Horror Exploitation. Zombie knows just when to be gruesome, when to be funny, and, even, when to be a little cute. His movies are generally hit or miss, but this is the one he should be most proud of.

NothingsGood | 60 55th |
Rob Zombie's psuedo-sequel to House of 1000 Corpses leaves the realm of horror for a much grittier and darker road film that lacks much of a story but compensates with visceral tension and quality performances from its leads, particularly Bill Moseley.

Paxton | 60 36th |
The dynamic of a lawman finally losing his cool and turning the tables on a sadistic clan is one that is usually played for a bit more satisfying revenge. The violence here is horrific to the point that the downtime for character development seems like some sort of sick joke. Brian Posehn not only gets speaking lines but a few close-ups and he doesn't even pass gas!

Much better than the prequel, House of a 1000 corpses. Sid Haig is insanely brilliant and brilliantly insane. We see the baddies' ass getting kicked quite often, but we rarely feel sympathy for the baddies as in this film. The ending is... just masterful, a thing of beauty.
