July 23, 200520 yr Blasphemy, Sex, Rape, Murder, Torture, Drug Use, Deserving of its own thread What Movie am I describing? The Devil's Rejects of course. This film is leaps and bounds(cliché thread?) ahead of Rob's first work, House of a 1000 corpses. If you didn't know, Rejects is actually a sequel of sorts to 1000 corpses but it is nothing like 1000 corpses. Rejects is an always offending Revenge/Exploitation flick which doesn't delve into the paranormal as its horror predecessor did. Rob Zombie challenges the standard good vs evil plotline to the extreme and is sure to offend thousands of now traumatized audience members who were expecting to see another Boogeyman or Amityville Horror. This is the film which for me cements Zombie as one of the top horror directors and a rival to Japanese cult legend Takashi Miike. The acting is across the board great from William Forsythe to Diamond Dallas Paige, and I'll give a golden star to Sid Haig, Ken Foree and Bill Moseley(who deserves an oscar). Oh and did I mention it is frickin' hilarious, of course if you're not in utter shock. The musical score is also fantastic and Zombie got rid of those annoying montage sequences. The only complaint I have was with the slo-mos, I sometimes get peeved at the use of slo-mos and this movie uses a ton of them and I fear that in further viewings they will get to me. Rejects will leave you questioning many things, the characters, religion and your own reactions to the film. If you have a strong tolerance level and are a fan of quirky and or horror films there is no reasonable excuse for not seeing this before you die. Genius. 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395584/ awesome trailer http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/t.../tdr_large.html spoiler Dr.Satan doesn't appear in this one but read the synopsis of El Superbeasto, a straight to video flick written and produced by Zombie. El Superbeasto, a bulky, retired Luchador wrestler with a keen eye for strippers, finds a nemesis in the evil Dr. Satan. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419724/ Edited July 23, 200520 yr by KipWellsFan
