What to Know

Critics Consensus

Zombie has improved as a filmmaker since "House of 1000 Corpses" and will please fans of the genre, but beware -- the horror is nasty, relentless, and sadistic.

Joshua Rothkopf Time Out The look and feel of this film is a total nightmare, and some of the most effective American mood-making in years. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Philippa Hawker Sydney Morning Herald As the body count rises, The Devil's Rejects tries hard to stay funny and nasty, but the effort shows... Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 17, 2006 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club It's an audacious piece of filmmaking, but after a while it grows exhausting to watch, particularly when it becomes clear that violence is going to lead to more violence without much story or conscience surfacing. Sep 26, 2005 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Takes what works about the original movie -- namely, the cast -- and tells an original, nightmarish road trip across the country, leaving brutality in its wake. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective A cinematic universe and characters created by a ‘B’ movie cineaste, and played by people who clearly loved and respected what had been given to them – it’s rare you feel that so abundantly as you do here. Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) In The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie sets out to make you root for the sick and depraved lead characters and somehow he finds some success. Zombie can certainly craft memorable characters. His writing still leaves MUCH to be desired. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Vince S Enjoyed it a lot. Dug the story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review N B Hands down the best horror film ever created. It’s brilliant from start to finish. The era, the tension, the acting, the cinematography, the writing, the ruthlessness, the absolute horror of it all. Brilliant is the word I’d use. Not to mention the soundtrack is incredible. Hands down the best of the best right here. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review R.J. T This movie is underrated,this is a classic rob zombie film,if you don't like his style then you will not like the movie.i enjoy this western type slasher,sid haig is awesome as captain spaulding and bill Mosley as a psychotic redneck,ruthless killer makes for a bloody good time and entertaining to watch.the whole cast was amazing and the acting was very good all the way around.this is zombie at his best!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Eric W. I am not squeamish at all. For some reason this movie unsettled me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Tom G I needed a shower after watching this. Love a horror but this was just crude, cringe and boring Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Lavish C If this is horror, then ALL Tarantino movies shall be horror. I've felt zero thrill, zero disgust, zero anything which could even remotely be classified as horror. The only feeling I had for the entirety of the movie was a deep, deep disgust for every single person ever appeared, from police to killers to victims. They all represent the absolute worst of humankind, or at least of that very regrettable aspect of humankind which is American "culture". No idea what this Zombie wanted to say. There's no political or social message. There's no horror thrill. There's just a wannabe Tarantino stylistic blahblah with a sort of mega distorted Thelma & Luise or "natural born killers" kind of narrative, in sociopath edition. Not worth one single millisecond of anybody's time. The worst thing is that there are other 2 movies with these same three sociopaths and presumably same absolutely worthless dynamics. Zombie should reconsider his profession, maybe he'd be a good clown, but he's sure as hell not a good storyteller. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
