Description:
From the visionary mind of acclaimed musician Rob Zombie comes Lions Gate Films' THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, the gritty, violent follow-up to Zombie's smash horror hit, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. Written and directed by Zombie, THE DEVIL'S REJECTS reunites the homicidal members of the Firefly family, tracing their bloody flight from an outlaw sheriff hell-bent on revenge... Ambushed at their isolated home by Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe) and a squad of armed men, the Firefly family wakes up one morning with guns blazing - yet only Otis (Bill Moseley) and his sister, Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), manage to escape the barrage of bullets unharmed. Hiding out in a backwater motel, the wanted siblings wait to rendezvous with their errant father, Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), killing whoever happens to stand in their way. But as the body count mounts higher, Sheriff Wydell decides to take the law into his own hands, paving the way for one of the most depraved and terrifying showdowns in cinematic history.
Amazon.com:
Homicidal maniacs have a field day in Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects, an ultraviolent spin-off from Zombie's critically reviled 2003 debut, House of 1,000 Corpses. As Zombie continues to cultivate his name-brand variety of extreme horror and splatter-film homage, he definitely takes his place among connoisseurs of carnage. In the case of The Devil's Rejects, several characters from 1,000 Corpses return for another marathon of mayhem, as the murderous Firefly family (led by Sid Haig as the maniacal 'Captain Spaulding') turn their bloody wrath against hostages in a fleabag motel, while the local sheriff (William Forsythe) plots revenge against them for the killing of his brother. Before their inevitable showdown, Zombie has plenty of fun--perhaps a little too much fun--indulging his penchant for sick, sadistic humor and gruesome atrocity. Clearly, Zombie fancies himself as horror's answer to Quentin Tarantino, but he lacks Tarantino's gift for riveting plots and escalating tension. Instead, The Devil's Rejects is just raw, rampant excess from start to finish, paying visual tribute to gruesome classics from the '70s and guaranteed to earn the cult status that Zombie is all too obviously aiming for. He's an unabashed horror buff who's carving a niche in the genre he loves, shamelessly satisfying a small but loyal audience of sicko-phants. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good, but not great.
This was a good but not great movie. It isn't near as good as Rob Zombies remake of John Carpenters Halloween. It would be nice if Zombie could also do a remake of all the other Halloweens john screwed up (AKA everyone except for the forth, maybe fith, H2O and maybe the second to last one).
Now on to the review. The Devils Rejects is a sequal to the film "House of A Thousand Corpses". In this film the bad guys from "House of A Thousand Corpses" are on the run from the law in the desert. ... Read More
Rating: - I watched in horror...which i guess is good cuz thats the genre...
Well...cinematically, this was a pretty interesting movie. The storyline was so sick and twisted that only Rob Zombie could come up with it. I seriously came really close to vomiting. The only time a movie has brought me to yak was Snakes on a Plane--and that was because i had tonsil surgery and was on all these meds. I definately watched in horror, and I threw this one into the "sell" pile because I don't think I can sit through it again.
I thought House of 1000 corpses was one of the worst ... Read More
Rating:  - Muuuuuuch better.
When I found out that there was a sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, I groaned considering how disturbing and almost pointless the first movie was. I decided to give The Devil's Rejects a second chance (mainly because I was intrigued... and because I have a "thing" for Sheri Moon Zombie who plays Baby Firefly). Turns out, it's muuuuuuuuch better than the first movie.
So what's the movie about? The movie begins with a group of cops attempting to raid the Firefly home. A few members of the Firefly ... Read More

Rating: - Ooh Sheri Baby
If I had known this was the sequel to _House of 1000 Corpses_, I would have rented that movie instead of this one. Oh well.
This is one of the sicker films I have ever seen; it however does have some redeeming qualities which serve to counteract the vein of mindless sadistic violence that runs through the film.
One thing I like about the movie is the casting. Any movie with Ken Foree (_From Beyond_, which is one of my absolute favorites, comes to mind) in it can't be all bad. Bill ... Read More
