I went to this movie having seen 1000 Corpses which I thought was a great retro B style horror in the Texas Chainsaw massacre genre. This movie FAR exceeded any expectation I had. Zombie NAILED it in this one. Classic Freeze frames, awesome soundtrack(used with purpose)-Just enough gore with out going over the top.. the essential random nudity shots that we B fans have come to expect. Suspenseful through-out.I realize that what makes all of these components work:A- This movie (Unlike 99% of all B Horros) is not predictable. You do not know what is going to happen next. B- Zombie builds characters. You learn history and connections, and see things from their view. C- Slight comedic aspect added. Summary: MUST SEE, MUST OWNin the words of my horror loving awe-struck friend "This is hands down the best B horror I have ever seen!"

Only certain people can appreciate a movie like this. This was better than Rob's "House of 1000 Corpes". It was sleazy, gruesome, and actually funny at times. Otis, Baby, and Captain Spaulding really do make this movie. The crazy thing is that I was actually rooting for them in the end. Maybe this is sick but this is how the movie portrayed them. Come on, Baby likes tooty fruity ice cream. You can't help but to root for her. This movie also had the feeling to it that it was filmed in the 70's. It's hard to explain but it had that Texas Chainsaw, Friday the 13th, The Hills Have Eyes feel to it. All around a great flick for the horror fan who can appreciate it.

Too rape-y, too sadistic, too macho, too...Unlikable characters say inane dialog, violence and gore used as a crutch. With a weak plot, violence and gore can be a substitute for better writing/directing. I guess I'm not a B-horror movie fan, that could be the problem here. I understand that budgets can be tight for any movie that isn't Twilight or Transformers related, especially a horror movie budget, I get that. Hey and Rob Zombie is not Kubrick, he doesn't need to be, he's his own thing and he's never tried to top the Master Of Horror, Stanley Mother F*cking Kubrick, again, I get that. My problem with Devil's Rejects is that it sucks to watch and is in no way any good, and I don't know why Rob Zombie made this movie.
