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...

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

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

While the gore, nudity and violence stand out, as any Rob Zombie probably will, this movie seems to leave the “horror” theme. It’s really a chase movie with these horror staples. It delivers, shocking the viewer (I mean, at some points it even seems like a porn), and making you feel uneasy. My biggest problem with this movie is its main characters, that get they’re way too easily. The whole plot is forgotten at moments and leave you wondering: how could this have happened? But most of all, it’s fun, maybe The House Of 1000 corpses is better.

This film is absolutely brutal. Everything about the characters just made them complete psychopaths. The inspiration from the Manson family was very prominent here as well. These are the kind of main characters I just cannot root for, I was so excited to see them brutally tortured and everything. They were tortured but they didn’t die, which is a pain if you couldn’t tell by the way in writing this. 3/5 stars. I hate Spaulding and his family. (I guess that’s what Zombie was going for though so good on him)

William Forsythe is amazing in this movie. Rob Zombie's masterpiece that is aging like a fine wine.
