Ratings and reviews

Rob Zombie has always been one of my favorite musicians, movies like this make me a true fan of his directorial abilities. His artistry and creative talent know no bounds. Keep up the amazingly original work. Cannot wait for his next creation. I met Rob Zombie at the store Hot Topic where I worked in Dayton, Ohio many moons ago and he is very down to earth and humble despite his many accomplishments. Which is very rare and very refreshing. He and Sheri Moon even took a pic with me & gave me an autograph.

The film was okay. It wasn't ground breaking. It was a lot less gory than ANYTHING that Eli Roth has made. The worst thing about the film is a scene of forced oral sex. The acting is terrible boarding on comical, and the. Story makes little to no sense. By far the scariest character in the movie is the young female killer who doesn't get the shine she should in this film. I think alot of the comments are just dramatic. All in all...the movie will give some shock and no substance.

Never mind the score from critics, judge from the users, who gave it a total of 79%. This is an amazingly sadistic movie, chock full of violence and depravity. The Devil's Rejects is a pretty cool nod to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), I Spit on Your Grave (1978) and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), some of the greats in the gritty 70's cinema.
