Devil's Rejects

Pros: A throwback to the grindhouse era.
Cons: Some of the dialogue could use some work.

After slogging through the highly anticipated and ultimately underwhelming House of 1,000 Corpses back in 2003, I can't say that I was particularly excited to check out Rob Zombie's sophomore directorial effort, The Devil's Rejects. Sure, I ...

Pros: none
Cons: bad story, bad direction, bad production values, bad acting, bad music, bad taste

The Writers Guild of America has a thinly-veiled contempt for what it calls writer-director "hyphenates" - that is, when the director is also the writer of the film. It's a stupid prejudice since some of these include Atom Egoyan, Paul Thomas Anderson, ...

Pros: It's an insane and wild film with gratuitous nudity and strong language with intense violence.
Cons: It's an insane and wild film with gratuitous nudity, strong language with intense violence.

When heavy-metalist Rob Zombie wrote and directed a horror flick in 2003, his fans were both satisfied and disappointed. The flick House Of 1000 Corpses had a group of unlucky kids meeting the wrong people on Halloween Eve--a night they ...

Pros: Intense action, direction, acting
Cons: Like House of 1000 corpses it might not be for everyone

The Devils rejects is a sequel to House of 1000 corpses and Rob Zombies second film. Rob Zombie wrote as well as directed both films and is currently working on the next Halloween movie. He does an impressive job on both films as they clearly rise above ...

Pros: Nihilistic, old-school shock that merits an incredible two-disc special edition package.
Cons: The mildly distracting pop culture references.

With H ouse of 1000 Corpses, his long-awaited directorial debut, theatrical metal singer Rob Zombie fashioned a movie that he thought would wipe the grindhouse floor with the bodies of post-"Scream" teenybopper ...

Pros: a fun summer horror film with surprisingly likable characters . Great mindless summer viewing.
Cons: The ending is a bit questionable. Surprisingly low body count.

I remember going to see Rob Zombie's directorial debut in a theater about 2 1/2 years ago. I was very excited to see it, because at the time, I was a huge fan of Rob Zombie's musical endeavors, both with his original band White Zombie and his second, ...

Pros: The acting here is perfect, as is the direction, style, the music, and the brutality.
Cons: None that is even remotely worth writing about.

I never did write a review for "House of 1000 Corpses," and even when I'm randomly talking to someone about horror films or exploitation films, "House" really doesn't even come up all that often. Mainly because it's a hard movie to talk about, or atleast ...

Pros: Zombie's sequel far surpasses the original while morphing into a different genre...
Cons: May be too violent for some audiences...

Heavy metal entrepreneur Rob Zombie, like the now-legendary Quentin Tarantino, cites numerous 70's genres as inspiration for his retro dementia in depicting some of the grimmer psychofantasies of the modern era. Rejects is the sequel to Zombie's ...

Pros: Absolutely none
Cons: Bleak, unimaginative character and story viewpoint

This summer’s movies are rife with paradox. First there’s Land of the Dead, a zombie movie with a surprising amount of wit. Then there’s The Devil’s Rejects, a movie created by a Zombie that wouldn’t know wit if its flesh was bitten by one. ...

Pros: unrelenting violence -- if you're into that thing
Cons: lacks payoff

I absolutely hated, hated, hated, hated Rob Zombie's directorial debut film, "House of 1000 Corpses;" a messy, unwatchable movie that had a cool concept but was destroyed by paper-thin, unlikable characters and uneasy flashy cinematography that tried to ...

Pros: It ended.
Cons: How was this crap made in the first place? Oh.yeah, because Rob Zombie has a-lot-of-money.

I don’t understand why people are praising this worthless movie so much. Maybe because looks like one of those old low budget 70’s snuff films that contained tons of gore, horrible acting, and horrific dialogue. Well after watching this movie I ...

Pros: Good characters, good acting, an "R" rating
Cons: Pacing, too much slow motion, overly derivative of TCM2

When House of 1000 Corpses came out I was intrigued. Here was Rob Zombie, a horror fan, making a horror movie for the other fans. It sounded promising. However, I never did get around to seeing it in the theaters and when I finally watched it at a ...

Pros: in-your-face violence, dark and gritty atmosphere, some dark humor, cool music
Cons: thin storyline, forgets the events of House of 1,000 Corpses

Being one of the few people I know who liked House of 1,000 Corpses enough to see it in theaters twice, I was greatly anticipating the release of The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie's sequel to the aforementioned HOTC. I was in the crowd during the movie's ...

Pros: Truly graphic horror film, better than most light fare.
Cons: And yet it doesn't live up to expectations.

It wasn’t all that long ago that rock star and horror fan Rob Zombie created a chilling new addition to the horror fan base of possible franchise hungry characters when he made HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. Creating a franchise was not his intent. Rather, it ...

Pros: Bill Moseley
Cons: Acting, "heroes"

When I saw "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," the film unnerved and shocked me, but perhaps more than anything else, it made me feel, as an audience member, that I was in the hands of a madman (the director). Anything could happen at any moment. I felt that ...
