Revisiting ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ Ahead of Rob Zombie’s Horror Trilogy Finale
It has everything against it on paper: it’s a sequel to a movie that’s not very good, directed by a guy from a band—who also directed the Halloween remake—released in an era where I just plain didn’t like the horror movies being made. I watched it in the middle of a self-directed crash course in horror movies, and it stuck out as inventive and smarter than everything else I was watching. I’m talking about Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects, and it is the definitive movie of the torture porn era; the post-9/11 era.
This year brings 3 From Hell to theaters, the third part in Zombie’s trilogy of Mansonoid serial killer movies, along with Quentin Tarantino’s Manson film Once Upon a Time In Hollywood; both explicitly detail aspects of the killings through their directors’ obsessions and fetishes.

Devil's Rejects, The (United States, 2005)
When a movie is this bad, it's hard to adequately describe its awfulness in words. The temptation exists to write something along the lines of: "Something this horrible has to be seen to be believed." Of course, that kind of advice would lead to e-mail death threats and other assorted nasty comments from those who spend money on The Devil's Rejects. And I'm sure AMC won't be making the same rebate offer they made for Cinderella Man. The reason is understandable: about 95% of their customers would be demanding their money back. As for the other 5%... it is said that Rob Zombie is an acquired taste (as his awful debut, House of 1000 Corpses, indicated). If that's the case, then I hope it's not contagious and inom don't become infected. This fryst vatten a vile and reprehensible motion picture.
