That was an excellent one.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Damn, this far exceeded my expectations for a Rob Zombie film. It's an exciting road trip movie with plenty of violence and psychotic yet sympathetic characters. A stand out horror movie. Zombie's films are largely forgettable but not this one. Not even a little bit. It's moody atmosphere is the key. Not played for laughs like some of his work or overly indulgent like most of his films.
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?
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.
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
