Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Fantastic!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is probably Rob Zombie's best film. It's got decent editing and the story works for the characters.Now for the reality: This movie still has horrible dialogue, acting, and characters. There are a few lines that would have been perfect had Rob Zombie kept them short and didn't add his redneck malarkey. There are scenes that are genuinely intense (the gun pantie scene) that end up falling apart because of bad acting. Bill Mosley has a moment where he says "I am here to do the Devil's work," but the rest of the dialogue comes off as flat and it sucks.In the end, this movie is Zombie's best, but it's still no better than hearing Tutti F*ing Fruity over and over again.

This movie is a direct sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, and just like that movie, it has many of the same problems. Just like in the previous movie, it lacks characters that show any agency, and the villains are more interesting than the victims. The Devils Rejects features the return of such characters as the crazy clown Captain Spaulding, who is the most entertaining character in both movies. In this movie he has a much bigger role, which is welcome.Rob Zombie has chosen not to exhaust weird video effects to death, this time around. Instead he has chosen for a more documentary style, with shaky camera shots, and deliberate extreme close ups. He also does sliding screen transitions, as if looking through a picture book. The movie also has a deliberate dirty look to it, and the extreme close ups help highlight the dirty look of all the freaks. I liked the direction and the style of the movie.But again, this movie is plagued by the same problems as the previous movie. Look, I love a good horror movie. I even enjoy some of the really gory stuff. But this is just a long row of abuse scenes, many of which sexual in nature, and there's very little 'fun' to it, or suspense to it. Its again the lack of agency on behalf of the characters, and the fact that they aren't fleshed out at all. None of the victims are compelling characters. And the movie falls into the trap of a long series of ancient horror movie clichés. I'm talking so ancient, they could be fossils.You know the drill: Characters outnumbering a villain who is only armed with a knife, and yet not making any coordinated effort to attack the villain. Waiting forever to steal a gun from the villains, then waiting forever to shoot the villain, thus giving them plenty of time and opportunity to attack, and of course the gun is not loaded. And again we have the victim running straight into the arms of Captain Spaulding, not realizing that he is part of the gang. It is literally the previous movie all over again.The plot again goes nowhere. A bunch of victims are stuck in one location, where they make no intelligent attempt to escape or retaliate, despite having plenty of opportunity to do so. And then they all get abused and killed one by one. How are we supposed to be invested in this story? But fortunately the movie has one thing going for it. It does something that House of 1000 Corpses did not do: It takes a turn in the last half of the film. I'll give it credit for that. But it was not enough to keep me interested, since the movie had already lost me long before the turn in the plot.And its a shame, because Captain Spaulding is entertaining, its directed well, the effects are good, and it has a nice style to it... but as a film it just sucks. There is zero suspense, and the montage at the end feels like a sloppy way to end a movie. And why does the director indulge so much in sexual abuse? I don't mind nudity, but the context is definitely rapy in nature, and just not fun to watch. When is rape (even if it borders on it) ever a good thing in a movie? I'm not condemning people who like this movie, but what do they see, that I don't?

baby firefly, Otis driftwood, and captain Spaulding find themselves on the run from a revenge fueled sheriff who is itching to avenge his brother's death. this is by far the better film than its predecessor, house of 1,000 corpses was really lacking in the gore department due to grossing out one studio and pissing off another one and losing the 17-32 minutes of gorier uncut footage in the process (which I still highly doubt), but THIS one on the other hand DELIVERED on the gore, and it's actually more of a gritty action film with touches of horror, which is always a great combo. Bill Moseley is still a total badass as Otis driftwood, sid haig is still hilarious and messed up and crazy as our favorite foul mouthed clown captain Spaulding, the gorgeous Sheri moon zombie is still sexy and deadly as baby firefly, and William forsythe played what is honestly the most crazed and menacing sheriff I've ever seen. anyway, I highly recommend this badass movie to horror and action fans alike.

Devil's Rejects (2005): Dir: Rob Zombie / Cast: Sig Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, William Forsythe, Ken Foree: Rob zombie's sequel to House of 1000 Corpses about a psychotic family that murdered several victims in their farm house. Great opening sequence with a shootout where one arrest is made. From there we witness the torture of a travelling band at the hands of the remaining killers at a roadside hotel. Rob Zombie is a skilled director especially when factoring that this is actually quite different from the previous film. Excellent performances by a cast headed by Sig Haig as Captain Spaulding who leads the family into their grisly lifestyle. The violence is maddening but its anti-hero theme is familiar. Moseley plays his psychotic son Otis, and Sheri Moon Zombie as his daughter. William Forsythe brings in the vengeful madness of the Sheriff whose brother was a cop murdered in the first film. Forsythe reverses the formula when he enact revenge while his subjects are nailed to chairs and questions are asked where answers are a must. Sheri Moon Zombie in particular is given brutal treatment when Forsythe releases her and hunts her down. Ken Foree plays an associate of the Firefly family who is a shyster at best until his intentions go in different directions. Forgiveness is not in focus as we witness the vile ugliness of a reversed justice in this well made excess in murder. Score: 9 / 10
