Following a violent confrontation with the police the surviving members of the "Firefly" family go on the run. There's not much of a plot beyond that. The whole thing just revolves around watching them torment anyone unlucky enough to be in their path and putting up with Rob Zombie's patented vulgarity, which I guess was intended to be amusing, but just ended up being annoying more often than not.

I was never really bothered by any of this until things started to get rapey. So the real problem is that none of the violence or filth feels like anything we haven't seen before. Plus, what helped make this movie's predecessor so enjoyable were its twisted sights and visual flair. Here things are a lot more aesthetically flat. Environments were certainly grimy enough to make me feel like I needed a tetanus shot after watching, but where's the color or the industrial horror monsters that made for some of the first film's most memorable moments? Rejects' only really creative aspect outside of the wild soundtrack is that these psychopaths are being chased by a sheriff who's just as unhinged and sadistic as they are. This leads to a nice role reversal that sees the people who are usually the predators becoming the prey and getting a taste of the same type of cruelty they have dished out in the past. However, this too exposes a fundamental problem with the movie. When the bad guys are also the protagonists, who am I supposed to root for? Am I supposed to feel something when they get beaten and bloodied or are riding out in a blaze of deranged, bullet-laden glory despite their deplorable actions? I simply can't do that, and without characters to invest in I'm left with only the violence and stylistic choices to latch onto. Both of which fell short for me.… Expand

This is one of those films that you need to be ready for what you are going get. I had my expectations and I was not let down in the least. This was a perfect departure from House. It managed to keep the 70's explotation feel and increase upon that effect with the visual filming techniques used and at the same time taking out the 'carnival' feel that House had. The dialogue isnt meant to win awards. When was the last time you heard a group of murderous rednecks really quoting some serious "Mark Twain Shit"? The dialogue, like the movie is meant to amuse / shock and entertain a select audiance. The soundtrack is pure genius and actaully got a Yankee like me into Southern Rock. I laughed my whole way through the movie...had a few times where I felt uneasy..and at the end...wished it wasnt over. A great film for me. Its up to you to decide if its for you.… Expand

Just a trashy, revolting movie. Not even worthy of note within the horror/suspense/gore genre. Simply exploits sado-masochistic sex combined with ultra violence. Suitable only for blood lusting perverts.

It is unafraid to offend, but stands up for nothing as it does so. At best, it's a feature-length whining scream. At worst, it's spineless gore.… Expand

Never before has one movie so astutely singled out the lowest common denominator from its demographic. It isn't funny, it isn't clever, its badly structured and the direction is indescribably hamfisted. A film this pointless and stupid will be forgotten soon enough, and deservedly so. I'm a huge, HUGE fan of both the horror genre, and its mid 1970's heyday. But, and this is very important, the films of that period were made by disillusioned intellectuals. not meatheaded, petulant antagonists who haven't got a clue about the artistry of the cinematic medium. Where is the subtext? Where are the genuine shocks? Where is the invention? This film is utterly, inarguably appalling. Anyone that doesn't agree, I'd wager, has problems when attempting to spell their own name.… Expand

Zombie's other movie, House of 1,000 Corpses, was a good one too, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat unlike the predictable horror of it predecessor. Overall, I give it a 10.

If you've seen "House of 1000 corpses" you've probably realized that this movie is extremely chaotically written and directed. There's no straight line or anything like that to be found in the movie. To be clear, this isn't exactly always a bad thing. But for some reason, in House of 1000 corpses it just didn't work for me. In it's sequel, "The Devil's Rejects", you'll find something which feels way more like a movie that's actually finished. Rob Zombie has a twisted mind. I'm a fan of the guy's music so that made me wondering what kind of movies he would make. Well, kind of exactly what I expected. Pretty sick and twisted. Good. I love the cast in the first place, including his beautiful wife Cherri-moon Zombie, who practically plays in all his movies. You'll follow a psychotic, sick minded family on a road rampage, actually it's nothing more than that. Which is fine in this case. It's everything this movie needs. It starts off with some cops and a sheriff surrounding the house where the family is in which ends up in a massive shoot-out. From there on it's nothing more than a bloody and sick road trip. Don't expect a deep story line or outstanding dialogues. You will not enjoy this movie if you do that. If you expect a pretty mindless, blood packed rollercoaster ride with even some family drama, you'll probably love it. There even is a chance that, like me, you'll actually somehow gonna feel sorry for one of the most psychotic families in movie history. Hell yeah, Rob Zombie!… Expand

"The Devil's Rejects" is brutal. It celebrates it excessiveness in every scene. It starts off brutal and ends the same way, never really letting off the throttle to give its audience time to breath. The violence, nudity, profanity, or"The Devil's Rejects" is brutal. It celebrates it excessiveness in every scene. It starts off brutal and ends the same way, never really letting off the throttle to give its audience time to breath. The violence, nudity, profanity, or sadistic atmosphere of the film are constant. However, that is kind of the point of this movie. This is a sequel of sorts to "House of 1,000 Corpses" and I will say that where "House" is a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" wannabe or homage, "The Devil's Rejects" is more self-identifying. The story revolves around the Firefly family, a family of murderers that are evading the law while still keeping up their murderous ways. There is a lot of nauseating sequences and some moments that will make you feel disconnecting from humanity. I think Rob Zombie is really trying to showcase how far humans can get from their humanity, and I really hope that we don't get this disjointed from our morals and values. There are no real heroes in this movie. We follow the murder group around and they are pursued by a cop that is willing to cross the line to have revenge, so he is not really a hero either. There is a real loss of a moral compass here that might have enhanced the movie a bit. It is so deprived of humanity that it makes it difficult to watch. However, a lot of the problems that plagued "House" are not nearly as prominent here, The acting and writing is a lot better and more convincing. Zombie shows that he does have directing chops as well, whereas "House" felt more like a Zombie music showcase at moments rather than a movie. There is some campiness to this movie and some very dark humor, which eases it a tad. Although this movie is better than its predecessor, it is still not a great movie. If you are a fan of this type of movie, go for it. If you are squeamish, easily disturbed, or not a gore fan, pass on this. It is definitely glutinous in its vulgarity, but for what this movie is aiming to be, it largely hits the mark and is a decent gore horror movie. Overall, I give this movie a 5.5/10.… Expand
