I can take gore… no really I can… Cabin In The Woods that’s gory and I can take that…. the Final Destination franchise…. gory but again I can take that, The Devil’s Rejects take gore and raises it to 100% it’s disgusting like proper unfit for the squeamish gory, I’m squeamish okay I’ll admit but sorry excuse my language but fuck me sideways and call me Clive this film is just absolutely disgusting, I was gagging half of the time during this.
Now I’ve never seen a Rob Zombie movie and quite frankly after this film I don’t plan too, Rob Zombie’s films remind me of Eli Roth’s movies, you have to have a strong stomach to journey through Eli Roth’s movies, take Cabin Fever to this day I still can’t watch it because I feel physically sick to my stomach, The Green Inferno I can’t watch that at all, I switched it off at the forty minute mark. Now this film was requested to me via Twitter (@jackblake151 if you want to request a film to me) I got a message in my inbox saying in big capital letters DEVIL’S REJECTS!!!!! thank me later…. well thank you to whomever sent that request as I am now feeling very very sick indeed.
now by all means I’m not slating this movie I just didn’t like the gore at all, story wise it’s good and the acting by the anti heroes are great as well, sadly the gore let’s it down, although shout out to the child actor whose meant to look terrified but instead looks like he’s cracking up with laughter at the sight of his mum getting brutally knocked out by the clown character, so any who final rating…. I give this film a poorly 3/10 The plot is great and the acting is great as well however sadly the gore let’s it down immensely anyway guys until next time catch ya later 🙂
I love this movie. Haven’t watched it in years, though. I saw the first one in theatres. House of 1000 Corpses is way more violent. And trippy. It’s got this crazy music video vibe going on.The Devil’s Rejects is more of a stripped-down exploitation throwback to the 70s. Two completely different styles. Both great.
I’m losing hope in Rob Zombie. In my opinion, The Lords of Salem was a very bad movie. 31 was a step back in the right direction, but the camera work was too frantic and tight. I couldn’t tell what was happening. Zombie’s dialogue is too much for me too. Every other word is “fuck”; it sounds forced.
I’ve never been a big fan of Eli Roth outside of Cabin Fever. He’s too much of a fan boy.

I completely agree with you on Rob Zombie losing his touch I don’t like directors who cast their wives or their sisters/brothers who can’t act for shit, like Sheri Moon Zombie (or however you say it)
Eli Roth is an acquired taste you either love him or hate him, however his upcoming feature The House With A Clock In It’s Walls looks quite interesting, you wouldn’t put Eli Roth and Stephen Spielberg and Amblin together would you, but I agree he is a fanboy which is another reason why I don’t like his movies, although Aftershock was quite tame in my opinion.
Nonetheless cheers for the comment, and don’t forget if you have any movies in mind that you’ve seen and want me to review I’m all ears and ready to broaden my horizons 🙂

I believe everybody should see Basket Case (1982) and Sleepaway Camp (1983) at least once. They’re such strange, campy movies. I don’t keep up with the new stuff that much, but Creep and Creep 2 are two recent movies are I really enjoyed. They’re on Netflix.
