Review of The Devil's Rejects (2005) by Pipe C — 15 Nov 2014

"DEATH WALKS BEHIND. HELL WAITS AHAID.".

- 'The Devil's Rejects' is a 2005 horror film by Rob Zombie (Halloween reboot, Lords of Salem)and sequel to 'House of a 1000 Corpses' from 2003. This movie continues where the first one ended and follows thee Firefly family and their taste for death and mayhem. More brutal, nasty and sadistic than its predecessor, this 'The Devil's Rejects' seems an excuse for pointless violence, but strangely enough remained entertaining. I do praise Sid Haig (Hatchet 3, Foxy Brown) as Captain Spalding, one of the most terrifying clowns you'll ever see. With returning cast members Sheri Moon Zombie(Halloween, Lords of Salem), Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Blob 1988) and Leslie Easterbrook (Police Academy films), and smaller roles for Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn), Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead, The Dentist) and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes, Penny Dreadful).

A complete police force are on a Search and Destroy Mission against the Firefly family, who are responsible for over 75 homicides and disappearances the last couple of years. During a shootout, Rufus is killed and mother Firefly is taken into custody. While Tiny has gone missing, Otis (Moseley) and Baby (Moon) were able to escape. They hijack a car and go to a nearby hotel where they take a band hostage in their room. As their sexual and sadistic lusts come into play, Baby and Otis are awaiting the arrival of Baby's father, the illustrious Captain Spalding (Haig)...
