  Just by reading the title of the film, I knew I was going to be in for something crazy and weird. It's a really twisted film, but if you love that kind of stuff or love horror that pushes the envelope for that matter, then you'll like The Devil's Rejects.

  "Dear Mr. Zombie, why did you make your own daughter strip in your film?" - this is one of the many questions I wanted to ask Rob Zombie after watching this worrying, but sort of interesting film.
  
  The tale revolves around a group of Satanists who are known as the Devil's Rejec... read morets: people so bad that the devil spat them out of hell. They start off with a shoot out with the police, escape narrowly, before going all across the country to wreak havoc.
  
  I would like to point out right now that I am not a fan of torture porn films; for me a film has to have some story behind it or it is a waste of my time. In this case, the film is sort of a half TP, half average sadastic horror flick. Some scenes involved one of the satanists fantasising about this guy's wife infront of him and forcing her to strip, Zombie's daughter getting naked, and a guy dreaming of sleeping with his own daughter.
  
  Although many of these scenes are rather worrying, the film allround takes a rather light-hearted feel, making these satanists seem like a happy family trying to get at each other. One memorable moment was when two of the satanists want ice cream and the other doesn't so they all chant "tooty f***ing fruity" to annoy him until they get ice cream. Oddly enough, looking back on it, this does seem like Zombie attempting to say that satanists aren't all bad, which is probably true, but is not really going to do much except start controversy.
  
  What makes the film avoid torture porn in many situations is the detective side of the film; they go over to the police and show what they've found and what they're doing. Unfortunately this then begins to go pear shaped when some of the officers turn out to be not very nice people.
  
  Basically, this film seems to bring a good connection between the horrible mass murdering family and the audience, in the sense that nailing myself to my house is a good connection; it may be a good connection, but it's not doing anyone any good!

  'The Devil's Rejects' is a film about a depraved family of serial killers on the run from a vengeful officer of the law. Directed by Rob Zombie a weird rock muscian 'The Devil's rejects is surprisingly enjoyable untill it turns a bit to unbelievable.
  
  After the dissapointment of ... read more'The Strangers' I had a relatively large amount of hope this film would do better in entertaining me. I expected something like 'Penance' or 'Grotesque' after reading the blurb(?) for this film, or at least something that didn't really involve much thinking and/or concentration and on the surface that is what this film gives and then the last scene happens and suddenly everything is flipped on it's head and you realise just how clever this film really is.
  
  I'll start with the beginning though, which for me is the second strongest part of the film (after the ending), Rob Zombie does a good job at setting up his characters and really showing just how brutal the family of serial killers is, not only that though, he also begins to show the underlying theme of the movie which is loyalty.
  
  The middle of the film is where it goes downhill though, Sheriff John Quincy Wydell'scharacter is taken to far and is pushed over the edge untill he becomes over the top and silly, his plan for vengence is a bit far fetched, I understand it may be to switch around the morality within the film but it just didn't seem to work for me.
  
  Like I said before though, the film is all about the end, sure it's good enough throughout but it's one of those films that gets you thinking once it's finished and leaves a lasting impression, this is done by (not saying to much) revealing that in the end, the people you like the most, could be considered the worst people in society.
  
  Overall 'The Devil's Rejects' is recommended due to it's great soundtrack and surpirising ending, you may have to just ignore the sherrif though.

  As close to perfection as movies come, especially in sequel form. I love Rob Zombie and everything he touches turns to gold, especially the story of Cutter, Otis and Baby. Deep, resonant and irrevocable love for this movie, the franchise, the soundtrack and of course the cast and... read more director.

  Packed and loaded with incredible suspense, this film was an unusually exciting horror-journey. Gruesome and stomach-churning yes, but also spot-on in its action, writing and directing. With no holds barred, it dares to go its own way, without any kind of compromise - a strength ... read morethat very films of this sort possesses. Sid Haig does a really memorable character as the bad-to-the-bone and ruthless Captain Spaulding, and gives a face to the movie that really sticks in your head. A pretty extreme and shocking piece of cinema, but at the same one of the best ever conceived within its genre. Final score: 3 1/2 out of 5 homicidal clowns.

  A seamless blend of the horror/western genre. This movie is about one thing, the worst in people. No one has a true sense of good nature in them, even the police force is run by maniacal white trash.

They still had that disturbed nature to them, which is what set them apart in the first place. The film making is amazing, it's stylized to fit the tone of the story.

  Rob Zombie's first work as a director, "House of 1000 Corpses" was gritty, innovating, brutal, gory, creepy, scary, funny and simply awesome; "The Devil's Rejects" is more. This is one of the few Horror sequels that is is creepier, grittier, nastier, even more brutal, demented an... read mored more shocking, and, simply put, even more awesome than its already great predecessor. "House of 1000 Corpses" already proved that Rob Zombie is both an enthusiastic Horror connoisseur and an innovating filmmaker as it paid wonderful tribute to the greatest decades of Horror, introduced wonderfully demented characters and wonderfully combined brutal shocks with a very twisted sense of pitch black humor. The sequel is again about the murderous hillbilly family presented in the first film, and while "House of 1000 Corpses" was mainly a typical Hillbilly Horror feature primarily set around the same place, "The Devil's Rejects" takes the likable family of demented psychos to the road. The film, which references various sub-genres of Horror and Exploitation cinema, is a delightfully sick modern Grindhouse experience that has shocks and black humor alike, and I simply cannot imagine which lover of Horror and Exploitation cinema would not love it.
  
  Set in 1978, a year after "House of 1000 Corpses", the film begins when the remote Texas ranch of the Firefly family, in which they have murdered around 75 people, is raided by police forces under the command of Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe). After killing a bunch of police officers, Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie) and Otis (Bill Moseley) escape, and meet with Baby's father, the demented family patriarch Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), ready to raise hell. Sheriff Wydell, who has arrested Mama Firefly, is upon their heels, and he is almost equally demented as our favorite serial killer family...
  
  "The Devil's Rejects" is a mixture of grisly Hillbilly Horror and demented revenge Roadmovie that is gritty and brutal like low-budget 70s Horror and Exploitation features and is often both shocking in its violence and exquisitely funny in its morbid sense of humor. The demented family of brutal murderers do unspeakably evil deeds and yet one somehow likes them. I was a big fan of Sid Haig even before first seeing "House of 1000 Corpses" a few years ago, for his great presence in the many fantastic 70s Exploitation flicks he was part of. It can be said that the character of Captain Spaulding is probably the highlight of his entire career, both because he has a leading role, and because he is playing what is positively the coolest Horror character of the decade. The director's wife Sheri Moon Zombie is incredibly sexy and equally evil, and simply magnificent in the role of babe-fatale Baby Firefly. Bill Moseley is wonderfully demented as Otis, the arguably most psychotic member of the family... I'm taking it back - they're all about equally psychotic. William Forsythe's is great as the nearly equally psychotic, revenge-obsessed hard-ass Sheriff, and the supporting cast includes names such as Ken Foree, Michael Berryman, Danny Trejo, Geoffrey Lewis and P.J. Soles.
  
  In addition to being an extremely intense, nasty and wonderfully demented Horror experience with enough shocks, thrills, gore, creepiness, eccentric characters, macabre make-up effects and morbid humor to please any Horror fan, there are are lots of other positive things to say about "The Devil's Rejects", be it the great cinematography and settings, the awesome score or, most memorably, the jaw-dropping gorgeous Sheri Moon, but it all comes down to the same point: This film kicks ass! "The Devil's Rejects" is a must-see for all fans of Horror, Exploitation and demented cinema, and as much as one should see "House of 1000 Corpses" first, this film is even greater. Rob Zombie knows how to make true Horror (which is a rare thing with American directors these days), and "The Devil's Rejects" is doubtlessly his greatest achievement, one of the best films that was released in 2005. Hopefully Rob will get back to original material like this instead of doing more of the awful Halloween films that he has made in recent years. To say the least The Devil's Rejects is very highly recommended

  For me, The Devil's Rejects remains one of the greatest horror films of the first decade of the 21st Century. Rob Zombie creates a totally new beast of a film by following up House Of A 1000 Corpses with this very solid and impressive sequel. In this film, the fireflies are on th... read moree run from the law, and leave a trail of bodies in their path. The Devil's Rejects is a solid, depraved and more importantly raw picture. The film is very brutal, but at times, there are a few comical moments to relieve the tension. Zombie has greatly improved as a director and he's successfully created a new breed of horror film, a film that challenges you not to look away, a film so raw, so gritty that by the end of the film you ask yourself, what did I just see? I can answer that for you, you just saw something bold, and original, you saw the work of a director who's not afraid to try something new. The Devil's Rejects is a fine film, if you look beneath it's violence. It's superbly crafted film with a great cast of actors and a terrific script. This is one of my favourite films, and I can honestly say that in a time where the horror remake is king, The Devil's Rejects is safe and sound as one helluva horror picture, and will definitely terrify for years to come, long after awful remakes have been dethroned. A superb film.
