The sequel to House of 1000 Corpses – the Firefly family are ambushed at their isolated home by Sheriff Wydell and a squad of armed men guns blazing – yet only Otis and his sister, Baby, manage to escape the barrage of bullets unharmed. Hiding out in a backwater motel, the wanted siblings wait to rendezvous with their errant father, Captain Spaulding, killing whoever happens to stand in their way.

By rubbing your nose in this hillbilly mayhem, Zombie all but dares you to acknowledge your liberal elitism, simply because just now, in Dubya's America, you don't happen to find anything particularly funny or lovable about stupid, dangerous provincials.
This film is lean, tight and irredeemably vile. People are gonna love it.
Philadelphia Inquirer by David Hiltbrand
Completely unhinged, a garish and gonzo walk on the wild side.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
If you're not in the mood for "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" meets "Last House on the Left," stay very far away. Horror fans will find what they're looking for, though.
Washington Post by Desson Thomson
For the right audience, this movie is the butt-kicking, dirt-talking, blood-spurting equivalent of beautiful music.
If you can stomach the violence -- and despite the R rating, that's a big if -- it's hard to deny that Zombie has made exactly the movie he set out to make, guaranteed to satiate his considerable fan base and sicken just about everyone else.
Zombie fills The Devil's Rejects with thrilling setpieces, pays homage to his inspirations without outright ripping them off (most of the time), brings back some cult-movie icons (hello, Mary Woronov and E.G. Daily), and works in some profanely clever dialogue.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Crust
Crass, vacuous exercise in grind-house stylistics.
Dallas Observer by Luke Y. Thompson
The cast is full of cool cult actors past and present, and the movie is great at what it does. It's also brutal as hell, and not everyone will have the stomach for it.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Zombie doesn't pretend to be on the side of the victims. He makes no bones about his identification with the sexy outlaw serial killers.
It can seduce your soul
The eccentric Mrs Henderson, a 70-year-old widow, purchases the Windmill Theatre in London as she searches for a new hobby.
A young boy with a troubled home life stumbles into the middle of a great spirit war.
Welcome to hell
Dare to step off.
