VarietyJustin Chang
If you can stomach the violence -- and despite the R rating, that's a big if -- it's hard to deny that Zombie has made exactly the movie he set out to make, guaranteed to satiate his considerable fan base and sicken just about everyone else. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Rob Zombie's pitch-perfect evocation of '70s horror films about monstrous families and the unfortunates who cross their path is one of a handful of sequels that both improve on their sources and play perfectly as stand-alones. Read full review

Film ThreatJeremy Knox
Zombie has a great eye and ear for the look and sound of the genre. From the over-saturated yellow desert to the sound of a newscast. He’s got it down perfect. Read full review

The Devil's Rejects is a trompe l'oeil experiment in deliberately retro filmmaking. It looks sensational, but there is a curious emptiness at its core. Read full review

Miami HeraldPeter Debruge
An exercise intended exclusively for fans of the genre, another crude, hard-R bloodbath from the studio that brought you "High Tension" and "Saw." Read full review

This film is lean, tight and irredeemably vile. People are gonna love it. Read full review

Crass, vacuous exercise in grind-house stylistics. Read full review

EmpireKim Newman
It’s uncomfortably the work of someone who thinks mass murder is cool and has no feeling for regular humans. Read full review
