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.

What Rob Zombie had with the first movie was an over the top, gory, cinematic thriller where you loved and hated the antagonists. This sequel might has well been a total seperate movie. Lost is the gritty, sensationalism. Instead we are left with a country-western grit movie that loses all of the original horror elements. The main character Otis is not the same psychotic character from the first movie, instead he is a ignorant, flightly idiot who is dragged by the other characters. On top of that Mother Firefly is dragged and essentially removed from the series. Several other characters are systematically eliminated and Capt. Spaulding is completely gutted. This is like someone buying a house to tear it down. Rob zombie clearly wanted to change direction and should have just made a new movie and left the cult classic gore-fest alone.

Great movie with the same memorable villains from the first film in the trilogy. The movie shifts away from the more creative and in-your-face aesthetic that made 1,000 corpses so iconic. Instead choosing to be more grisly and realistic. This change comes with its positives and negatives.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This movie is great. Not a typical jump horror movie nor is it particularly scary, however it does make up for that with the psychological aspect of it. A crazy family killing for fun. It's a crazy movie with a cast that portrays that craziness well.

I have seen some reviews of the biggest dog $#!+ movies that get flying scores. And this, a true psychological thriller/horror gets 56%. This is why I don't trust the critics. I just watch some "you dont breath until I say" or something based on RT scores. Worst movie I have seen in months, if not years... long story short, RT ratings are less than worthless

The look and feel of this film is a total nightmare, and some of the most effective American mood-making in years.

As the body count rises, The Devil's Rejects tries hard to stay funny and nasty, but the effort shows...

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

A grisly piece of work from Rob Zombie that certainly won't be for everyone, but those who can stomach it will discover a horror masterpiece.

A pleasant surprise, with the filmmaker making great strides in creativity and injecting the movie with some much needed dark humor -- especially from Haig.
