Cheap and nasty - By: Dr. H. Beentje, 28 Oct 2008
Violent, sadistic movie, without any redeeming features - didn't do anything for me. No, I lie. It gave me a lot of bad memory flashes. Switched it off quite quickly.
Nasty stuff.


Ugh! Look out for the world's most disgusting underpants! - By: sft, 25 Aug 2008
This film is repugnant in almost every way. It's for this reason, of course, that it's so compelling. As gross-out entertainment it just about fulfils alll requirements. From a technical viewpoint, only one or two flaky performances let it down.

Though it's possible to understand why people watch such movies it's more difficult to understand why anyone would want to make one. For the viewer movies such as this can act as a form of exorcism by satisfying the fascination for the lurid & the macabre that lurks in alll of us. But what purpose does making one serve for the creator? That's a far more complex question.

Anyhow, amid alll the brutality The Devil's Rejects delivers several moments of genuine humour. There are some nice nods & references to other movies & the film world in general. There's a great 70s soundtrack, & there is a certain visual flare to much of the violence, especiallly the later scenes.

This is definitely not a movie for the squeamish, but for gore-fest fans it's perhaps as good as it gets.
Awesome Movie! - By: Baggiesfaninessex, 19 May 2008
If violent horror is not your bag, forget this. Some of the scenes are painfully graphic, but Zombie has excelled here where with House Of A Thousand Corpses, he was treading water in comparison.

There are faults - let's be clear - as the continuity between this & the aforementioned prequel HOATC, doesn't totallly add up. But that said, one wouldn't reallly need to watch HOATC to get total enjoyment from this movie. Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Sherri Moon & William Forsythe each pack a powerful performance which adds real class to what is a clever mix of horror, western & road movie.

Special mention for the movie soundtrack, which absolutely rocks & fits the film perfectly. 'Midnight Rider' - The Allman Brothers Band, 'Fooled Around & Fell in Love' - Elvin Bishop, 'I Can't Quit You Baby' - Otis Rush & 'Rocky Mountain Way' - Joe Walsh are alll super tracks which get accompany this great movie, but dare I say it, the best is saved until the final sequence in the movie. Panoramic shots of arid, rocky-sided roads, you feel as if you're flying above the final scene about to be played out, then you swoop down to live it & breathe it with the cast; there can only be one outcome - it's obvious - but for a moment, belief is suspended while the wonderful sound of 'Free Bird' - Lynyrd Skynyrd, unfolds from the speakers & the final battle commences.

It's excessive, it's extreme, it's unbelievable, yet it remains one of the best movies of its kind I've ever had the pleasure to watch. It took me by surprise the first time I watched it (I was expecting HOATC Part 2) & it continues to surprise me each time I watch. Zombie's masterpiece. 5 Stars.
In a word: WOW - By: The long old dusty road., 17 Jan 2008


Is Rob Zombie a totallly insane, sick & sadistic piece of scum? Or is he just one of the best directors in alll of film history? This is the question he wanted his audiences to bring up while writing this total head-smasher of blood, sex, violence, power & insaneness! The answer is: it's up to you.

The plot has been explained several times in previous reviews, but essentiallly: A family of murderous crackpots go on the run from cops who are equallly - if not more - insane. If you're a horror fan, that may sound bloody perfect. No. It wont be anything like what you're expecting.

What is this film's genre exactly? Horror? Western? Thriller? Action? Chase movie? B movie? Slaughterhouse flick? I'd say a mix of alll of 'em! After watching this movie, I had to lye down on my bed with the lights off for about half an hour! I think it says somewhere on the blurb about the film leading to a great final showdown... wrong! The entire film seems like a showdown!

Some of the scenes in this are enough to make even the most hard core horror fans squirm in their seats. What happens isn't actuallly as bad as some other horrors, it's just the way it's done that makes it so much more terrifying- another of Zombie's subtle tricks. All this leads to one of the greatest climaxes of alll time- the perfect, immensely powerful ending.

Yes. This is the most terrifying film I have ever seen, only just pushing 'Inland Empire' out of the way. Basicallly, this film is a complete experience. One to watch with a few friends, so they can pump some mental stability back into you at the end!
