Such a frustrating disappointment

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While this sequel to "House of 1000 corpses" is nowhere near as extreme or absurd as its predecessor, then it is still a very enjoyable movie both as a sequel, but also as a stand-alone movie.It was nice to revisit Otis, Baby, Mama and Spaulding again and follow them on their homicidal roadtrip of sorts. Despite they didn't have Karen Black return to reprise the role as Mama Firefly.The story in "The Devil's Rejects" is straight forward and quite entertaining.It is a shame that the usual Rob Zombie imagery is toned down in this movie, because it was definitely what made "House of 1000 Corpses" so unique in its visual presentation."The Devil's Rejects" is crammed with lots of performances from a bunch of very unique and talented performers, and if you are a movie fan then you will see a lot of familiar faces throughout this thrill ride.This movie is not quite as brutal as its predecessor either, but it was a nice take on it to show a different side to the characters while still keeping that maniacal edge and twist to them.If you enjoyed "House of 1000 Corpses" then you will definitely also enjoy "The Devil's Rejects".

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.

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?

Corny camp mixed with a sorry excuse for pornography. If you like graphic sex scenes you may want to watch a movie which gives you an excuse for watching porn. Unfortunately, this isn't that kind of movie.However, if you want to watch a movie which gives you a perfect excuse for watching violent, bloody, rape porn while pretending it is the story and writer/director you are getting off on, this is definitely for you. Wanke away.-----Backseat producers are too busy peering over the driver's seat to lean back and enjoy a movie.
