Sadly Over-hyped

Memorable, crazy movie

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

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.

SPOILER: This is a really good movie. I can't go so far as to say it's worthy of 7 stars, even though I would really like to push that 6 further out. Maybe a 6.5? What can I say about a Rob Zombie movie? He can just do them better than anyone else. Rob Zombie is the master at disgusting, putrid horror that can make any person from an older generation cringe. This story is very well written, and the things that happen are just fun to watch. The movie drops off pretty often, but once it does, it easily catches itself and gets back up. In a way, it could be a way of Rob Zombie telling the world he just doesn't care what they want, much like his characters.Grimy story about killers on the loose, who take hostages, escape multiple times, and end up dying in the end. No morals really, and no great tellings can come from this movie. But it is damn good!6.5 Stars?

Although many would attach this film to "House Of A Thousand Corpses" i personally appreciate it more as a stand alone film, as i wasn't particularly fond of the aforementioned. A brutal but also sympathetic story about what i consider a loyal family looking out for their own. What it lacks in brutality (compared to "a thousand corpses") it more than makes up for in storyline. Without going too far into detail (or spoilers), what we are looking at is an outcast family with a fondness for violence (& tutti frutti icecream) trying to make their way in "common society" while being chased by a ruthless & violent sheriff. Great acting, great storyline & killer soundtrack makes it...one of my all time favourites in any genre.

Dear Rob Zombie, The Devil's Rejects is your best film so far. It is in my top ten films of all time. There was so much to appreciate in the film: The great soundtrack featuring The Allman Brothers Bnad, Terry Reid, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. The brilliant performances by Sid Haig, William Forsythe, Bill Moseley, Leslie Easterbrook, Geoffrey Lewis and Ken Foree. In a fair world, they would all have won Oscars. There were many other great actors in bit roles too. Great characterization - the unapologetic redneck characters like the unholy two and the two rodeo exhibition couples. There ought to have been separate films about each one of the supporting characters. The hilarious dialogs - the film had some of the best dialogs in recent memory. The great action scene at the end. And even though they are terrible people, you sort of miss the Reject's when the movie ends. Rob, you made the audience spend enough time with the Rejects to make us empathize with them in the end. You sort of wish you had friends like them :). They occupy a free world where everyone lives on impulse, far different from the square life. Best Regards, Pimpin.
