Zombie's degenerates seemingly unkillable.
Review: Unlike its prequel, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's
Rejects is an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Rob
Zombie got it right this time with the continuing tale of the
Firefly family of psychotic killers. The film is grisly, bloody and
very dark. Just how I like 'em.
Continuing where 1000 Corpses left off, the Firefly home
is raided by the sheriff's office. The family members then go on the
run and unleash a bloody rampage along the way.
Rob and crew did a great job with the story, dialogue, pacing and
effects. From the grainy slow-motion scenes to the unapologetic
torture and murders, The Devil's Rejects is a great movie and
fine homage to classics such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
The Firefly family is more extreme this time around. And because
they, and not their victims, are the focus, the actors portraying the
family members really get to display their talents and wares (see
below). There's the psycho-clown dad, angry redneck son, volatile daughter, and the man-eating madam of a mom. Dr.
Satan does not return and it's just as well as the film didn't need
him at all. William Forsythe plays the gritty sheriff tasked with
the job of hunting down the family.
Sheri Moon, Rob Zombie's wife, reprises her role as the daughter
and provides several momentous highlights to the film by constantly
flashing her ass. Sheri must be proud of her ass to display it so
many times. And she should be as it's a very nice ass. There's quite
a bit of flesh exposed by other actresses, but I'll leave those as
bonuses for you to see for yourself.
The end credits feature a memorial for Matthew McGrory, who plays
the deformed brother, Tiny. McGrory past away in August. Fans of the Howard Stern show will
fondly remember him as Big Foot.
