Jul 21, 2005 · Here is a gaudy vomitorium of a movie, violent, nauseating and really a pretty good example of its genre. If you are a hardened horror movie fan capable of appreciating skill and wit in the service of the deliberately disgusting, "The Devil's Rejects" may exercise a certain strange charm. If on the other hand you close your eyes if a scene gets icky, here is a movie to see with blinders on ...

If cohesiveness was the only thing that decided a good or bad movie, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto would still be at the bottom of this list. It also happens to be that this animated comedy, telling a slapdash story of a retired pro wrestler who stops a madman named Dr. Satan, isn’t very funny either. Humor is apparent in most of these Rob Zo...
31 is, if nothing else, completely free of pretension. It’s nothing more and nothing else. That is unfortunately to its own detriment. There’s no airs and graces in this story of a group of carnival workers forced to fight an army of maniacs in a dangerous industrial building, sure, but there’s also no emotional depth either. That’s more important ...
Until Rob Zombie’s aggressively ambitious Halloween was released to utterly brutal reviews, Zombie was on relatively good terms with audiences as a filmmaker. It took a bold-but-decidedly-misguided approach to reinviting the iconic Michael Myers to sour that relationship with many. Many are still pretty upset at the way Zombie endeavored to reimagi...
Did the world really need a third installment in the Firefly Trilogy? Absolutely not. The Devil’s Rejects remains the best-reviewed and most-liked entry in Rob Zombie’s entire filmography. Yet 3 From Hell exists, and, against all odds, it’s actually not that bad. That’s not something to necessarily celebrate, but the movie clearly fares better than...
With Rob Zombie’s debut 2003 feature House of 1000 Corpses, we’ve arrived at the tier of ranked Rob Zombie movies that have more good elements going for them than bad ones. House of 1000 Corpses isn’t very scary, but it is one of the most unique horror films released in this period. As weird, enthusiastic mashups of several different horror movie c...
Rob Zombie taking on a beloved 60s sitcom classic might make you nervous, but you can relax. Few people on this or any other planet love The Munsters more than Rob Zombie. Obviously that doesn’t mean his prequel story, which details the courtship and marriage of Herman Munster (Jeff Daniel Phillips) to Lily (Sheri Moon Zombie) is actually going to ...
Restraint on Rob Zombie’s part, both as a writer and a director, can be a beautiful thing to behold for some horror fans. The Lords of Salem is the grimmest piece of work on his resume. There are moments where the violence is on flawless par with almost anything you’ll find in the rest of his films. The restraint is nonetheless apparent. Much of th...
The real tragedy of Halloween II is that it must be a sequel to a movie that’s at best a mixed bag. Without the presence of an overlong backstory filled with very Rob Zombified touches, Halloween II gets the chance to be one of the best Halloween sequels in the entire franchise. If you didn’t like the performances or screenplay choices behind the c...
It’s unlikely that Rob Zombie will ever enjoy the critical reception given to The Devil’s Rejects. That may or may not matter to you, but the film’s comparatively good standing with critics and audiences is interesting to note. For better or for worse, Rob Zombie’s style and creative choices can generate a strong reaction from those who watch his w...
Apr 30, 2024 · Rob Zombie’s critically-acclaimed masterpiece The Devil’s Rejects is the far superior sequel to the equally gut-wrenching and terrifying House of 1000 Corpses. The Zombie-helmed gore flicks follow the Fireflies, a serial killer family with no limits to their evil misgivings, their only morality taking root in the depth of their shared depravity.

- The Lords of Salem. With "The Lords of Salem," Zombie delivered a sterling filmic trifecta. The narrative is compelling, the visuals are striking, and the characterization is, for what feels like the first time, endearing and sympathetic.
- Halloween II. Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" is a trial in patience. One watch is likely not enough for audience members to genuinely appreciate what Zombie is doing here.
- The Devil's Rejects. "The Devil's Rejects," much as it pains me to say, is the only entry in Zombie's "Firefly" trilogy worth anyone's time. It's hard to pinpoint why, exactly, this entry supersedes both its predecessor and sequel, but the fact remains that it does.
- The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" is a curious case study for Zombie as a filmmaker. For starters, it's a good movie.
Feb 5, 2020 · The Devil's Rejects is a throwback to the exploitation films of the 1970s, and doesn't hesitate to make the viewer uncomfortable. That's actually a lot of the reason critics' reviews were so mixed though. The horror community might love harsh, relentless journeys into hellish circumstances, but the average mainstream critic likely doesn't.
