The Devil's Rejects
The follow-up to his 2003 horror hit HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, Rob Zombie's THE DEVIL'S REJECTS continues the story of a bizarre group of very odd people who like to torture, maim, and kill virtually everyone they come in contact with. When Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe) pays a visit to the body-ridden lair of Mother Firefly (Leslie Easterbrook, taking over the role played by Karen Black in the first film), her children Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie) are forced to run, eventually holing up in a roadside motel with four hostages (including Clint Eastwood regular Geoffrey Lewis and THREE'S COMPANY star Priscilla Barnes). Seeking help from creepy clown Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), they continue their murderous rampage while being tracked by Wydell, who is hellbent on avenging the death of his brother, which came at the hands of this very weird and dangerous family. As Wydell tortures Mother Firefly for answers, Otis and Baby torture their hostages for kicks. Zombie, a heavy metal musician who leads the group White Zombie, infuses his exciting, funny, and terrifying gorefest with a fabulous 1970s soundtrack, using such songs as Elvin Bishop's 'Fooled Around And Fell In Love' and David Essex's 'Rock On' at inappropriately riotous moments. Part BONNIE AND CLYDE, part THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, part THE WILD BUNCH, Zombie's bloody barrage is filled with unexpected plot twists and surprises unique to this genre.

Rob Zombie is a genious
What a master piece, anyone who enjoyed the first one, this sequel is even better. Taking the set out of the house this time kept the plot and characters on the move and prevented boredom setting in.
The use of actors from other famous horror movies is always a good idea and a salute to Mr Zombie's love of the genre and those of us geekish enough to spot his praise of other films. The three main characters will repulse you in ways that you never thought possible and although gore is a plenty in this film so are the funny moments and Mr Zombie definitely knows when and how to mix the two to ensure neither carries on too long.
The Sheriff's character a redneck slaying, god fearing vigilante is so cool that you find yourself rooting for him to catch the bad guys and dish up his own version of deep south justice from the minute he appears on screen. The first ten minutes of the film provide the best shoot out scenes I have seen in a long time and reminded me of the old spaghetti westerns, maybe another genre favourite of Mr Zombie.
Think 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (the orignial) meets 'Thelma and Louise' and you wont go far wrong.
I loved it, loved it, loved it, let's hope he continues to indulge his passion for film making in this fashion long into the future. -

Rent this for the soundtrack alone
This isn't the best horror/slasher movie I've seen, or the worst.
What makes this film stand out, is the soundtrack - which is the possibly the best collection of songs used on a soundtrack I've ever heard.
The film, as a sequel - is okay, humourous at times, gory definately. The shock somewhat lost as you saw it all in The House of A 1000 Corpses, and ties up loose ends.
Worth a watch - then get onto Amazon and buy the Dual Disc CD/DVD of the soundtrack. -
