After a raid on the rural home of the psychopathic Firefly family, two members of the clan, Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), manage to flee the scene. Heading to a remote desert motel, the killers reunite with Baby's father, Capt. Spaulding (Sid Haig), who is equally demented and intent on maintaining their murder spree. While the trio continues to torment and kill various victims, the vengeful Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe) slowly closes in on them.

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.

Time Out

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...

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

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

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.

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

I liked the movie more the first time I saw it but I don't think it aged well. Worth watching after a few years in between.
