User Review

A depraved, sick and brutal film.

Rating: 10/10


Alright, I never bothered with "House of 1,000 Corpses." Mainly due to
the poor reviews and the fact it looked like a "Texas Chainsaw
Massacre" rip off. As a matter of fact I wasn't that interested in this
movie at first. But the early buzz raised my interest and I went out
and saw it.

"The Devil's Rejects" is a sick, ruthless, grab you by the throat and
don't let go horror movie. Which is exactly what it sets out to do and
it succeeds brilliantly. While the movie is sadistic and violent, the
characters are extremely well developed and the movie is extremely well
written. I've always felt that Rob Zombie would make a good horror
director and while "Corpses" wasn't so well received it was only his
first film. This is something else altogether.

A genre masterpiece and the best movie I've seen all year. If Zombie
keeps this up he will become a force to be reckoned with in the horror
genre
