From the feverish mind of Rob Zombie, comes the follow-up to his cult hit The House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects. Written and directed by Zombie, this sequel further explores the Dr. Satan Cult Murders by blending traditional horror elements with the western genre, to paint a shocking portrait of vigilante justice.
Hell-bent on getting revenge for his brother's murder, Sheriff John Wydell (William Forsythe) takes the law into his own hands, tracking down the Firefly family. With the help of the bounty-hunting duo known as 'The Unholy Two', they set off to take part in one of the most depraved and terrifying showdowns in cinematic history..

5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant film and soundtrack,
By Amy (Cambs, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Devil's Rejects - Special Edition [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
The Devil's Rejects is the sequel to Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and is far superior in so many ways. I found the first film too bizarre and out there with a few good jokes thrown in. However the sequel has a decent storyline, far better acting and an absolutely excellent soundtrack. The way the film is shot coupled with the music gives a very authentic 70's feel to the film.
It's about a family of...well sick pychos, I suppose, (Otis, Baby, Spaulding, Tiny and Madame Firefly) who are on the run from the police and will do anything to get away from them. Sherrif Wydell is on their tail wanting revenge after they killed his brother in the previous film. Wydell loses the plot somewhat, almost to the point that has you rooting for the bad guys. There is a dark humour running throughout with some good gags for all but some even darker sadistic violence but it has all been put together in such a way that it works. There are some great cameos from Danny Trejo, Ken Foree and Michael Berryman for the horror nerds and an excellent finale timed perfectly to Skynyrd's Freebird, absolute genius. This is one of my favouite films but I wouldn't really class this as a horror film (to me a horror film is more of a slasher/monster flick, the monsters in this are 100% human which in some ways is worse) this is more a film to make you feel uncomfortable in a similar vein to The Last House on the Left.

Rob Zombie's best by a mile,
By
This review is from: The Devil's Reject [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is the film that showed that Rob Zombie could have become a legend as a horror film director - before throwing away that reputation with a couple of insipid Halloween remakes.
His first film, House of a 100 Corpses is a fun throwaway movie, but The Devil's Rejects, which picks up with characters from his debut film, it a tour de force of trash horror which deserves a lasting place in horror history. With many a quotable line of dialogue, some fantastic music (you'll never listen to Freebird by Lynard Skynard in the same way again after seeing this film) and some truly demented and horrific imagery (witness the girl running out of the motel wearing the face of one of her friends before being run over by a passing truck!), The Devil's Rejects is one of the very best horror films of the 21st Century. The blu-ray is packed with phenomenal extras, including an fantastic two and half hour making of, as well as bloopers, interviews, and much much more. Treat yourself to a Tutti Frutti!

Very Good,
By
This review is from: The Devil's Rejects - Special Edition [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
After having seen 'House of a 1000 Corpses', which I hated and actually made me question why I am a horror fan, I hadn't expected too much from 'Devil's Rejects' either, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought it was a very enjoyable movie that had us screaming at the TV for the weird and very brutal 'Firefly' family to be caught or killed by the police. There are some gory and gross scenes that are definitely not for the squeamish among us, but the movie is a must see for all horror fans. Look out for the scene with the horrible death of the last band member that falls victim to the family - brilliant.
