This movie isnt for everyone. But If you liked "House of a thousand corpses" you will like this one as it shows more about the firefly family. I am a HUGE zombie fan and love all of his movies. I love that 70's feel in his movies. I did notice a similarity bewteen this one and " The Last House on the left"

Good movie with lots of bonus material. Much better than House of a 1000 corpses in my opinion. This is one of those times when the bonus features are worth the extra credit.

I was quite the fan of House of 1000 Corpses but just did not feel the same about the follow up, The Devil's Rejects.

The movie was shot beautifully and there was nothing to complain about with the looks, the story was very solid too, but it really dragged for me.

It's a definite must see for any horror or Rob Zombie fan, just for me personally it is something I won't be rewatching over and over like the original.

"The Devil's Rejects," the sequel to "House of 1000 Corpses," is a very good movie, and very powerful!

"Rejects" basically picks up a few months after the events in "Corpses" where Sheriff Wydell (a terrific William Forsythe) leads an all out revenge siege (enraged over his brother's death in "Corpses") against the Firefly family whom we were in-depthly introduced to in the previous film. After the attack on the Firefly household, Mother Firefly (now played by Leslie Easterbrook, superbly I might add) is taken into custody, Tiny (Matthew McGrory) is wondering about in the deep woods, Rufus (now played by Tyler Mane) is killed in action, and Otis & Baby (Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon) escape with their lives. Meanwhile, Captain Spaulding (the always great Sid Haig) is his crazy old self until the police realize that he is indeed involved with the Firefly family. He then skips town to reunite with Otis and Baby.

Otis and Baby then take a local country band hostage and torment the living hell out of them (I will not give away any gore and scare elements here). On the road, Spaulding calls a very close friend of his, low-rent pimp Charlie Altamont (Ken Foree) in which his brothel will be the Rejects' hideout. Spaulding then reunites with his two Reject members and they're brought to Altamont's brothel for some intoxicating times and safety.

But Sheriff Wydell grows more and more insane as he becomes obsessed with not just destroying the Firefly clan, but making them suffer, in an extremely sadistic manner. He interrogates Mother Firefly, and she gives him nothing except more fuel (you might recall her being the fault of his brother's death in the first film). Wydell then hires two scuzzy bounty hunters (Danny Trejo and Dallas Page) to track the Firefly clan down. The trackers find Altamont and Wydell gives him an offer he can't refuse, the Firefly's or his life. Altamont is the "Lando" of this movie.

I'm gonna stop here, but let me say that Zombie has proved himself a director here. You can possibly say that he took a Tarantino class in directing, but in a more horrific way, enough where Zombie has his own stamp on it. The film is well crafted, well put together and has a great sense of horror and crime drama. Much credit is also given to Zombie for his use of legendary horror and pop culture character actors from the 70s and 80s: Mary Woronov, P.J. Soles, Ken Foree, Steve Railsback, Geoffrey Lewis, Priscilla Barnes, Elizabeth Daily, Michael Berryman, Leslie Easterbrook and Danny Trejo. Zombie also achieves what Oliver Stone achieved with "Natural Born Killers", making us like characters that we shouldn't give a rat's ass about, deadly murderers.

William Forsythe brings a phenomenal, intense performance to the screen as the relentlessly obsessive Sherrif Wydell, definitely a strong Maxi contender; as is Leslie Easterbrook who practically steals the Mother character away from Karen Black's portrayal in the first film. She's completely out of her mind and totally believable, a far stretch from her role of the highly lusted-after Callanhan in the "Police Academy" movies...definite Maxi consideration here.

The leads are great too, Sheri Moon is sexual eye-candy and completely off her rocker, Sid Haig is fantastic (however I think his performance in "Corpses" outdoes his performance here) but Bill Moseley is an evil, repugnant fucker from hell, his Otis is in top-form and Moseley clearly shows us that he his a highly-underrated talent and a gift to the world of horror.

The classic 70s soundtrack is fitting and used cleverly...great film all around.
