Average Rating: 5.5/10

Consensus: Zombie has improved as a filmmaker since "House of 1000 Corpses" and will please fans of the genre, but beware -- the horror is nasty, relentless, and sadistic.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for sadistic violence, strong sexual content, language and drug use.

Runtime: 1 hr 49 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Theatrical Release:Jul 22, 2005 Wide

Box Office: $16,901,126

Synopsis: 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... 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. [More]

The Devil's Mercy: Housing crisis horror with typical clueless ones who never think to dial the cops, cancel their lease, or even summon a doctor for the weirdly ailing hubby, but with enough shockers to make you not think about moving any time soon.

Interessante ao propor uma inversão de papéis entre algozes e vítimas, exibe uma segurança tal em sua narrativa que chega a surpreender que tenha sido dirigido pelo mesmo Zombie do péssimo filme original.

...it's best to quote Captain Spaulding himself. "You like blood? Violence? Freaks of nature?" Then you're going to be satisfied by Rejects.

A sickening, socially-irresponsible glorification of depraved and sadistic behavior...The worst film of 2005.

If you dig this sort of gross-out throwback to the horror movies of the '70s, by all means, accept "The Devil's Rejects."

In a disconcerting shift from campy horror to ultra-naturalistic violence, cinematic conventions gives way to depravity and cruelty of such intensity as to be beyond genre.
