The first time I watched Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses it kind of shocked me. I thought it was too disturbing and gory, but at the same time it was terrific fun and innovating, at least for me who hadn't seen every horror movie ever made but would really like to. Captain Spaulding is a genius character, as are Baby and Otis, but the movie was not entirely about them, it was more about the killing these teenagers, which made the movie a really great and gory kind of slasher movie, like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where we have these teens trying to survive a family of killer freaks.

So when Rob announced The Devil's Rejects I got really excited, as it was going to be a movie focused on these awesome killer freaks, and it just made my top list of movies to see this summer. Having seen it, I have to say that the movie highly surpassed my expectations, as Rob has made huge improvements in his direction. But more on that later. So instead being a movie about teens getting killed, we have a movie about the Rejects having to leave the House of 1000 Corpses, after the police, lead by the terrible Sheriff Wydell, raids the house and force them to escape.

And so Capt. Spaulding, Otis and Baby go on a road trip, killing everybody on their way, trying to find a way to revenge the attack and capture of Mother Firefly. What makes this movie so great is Rob Zombie's work. The screenplay is excellent and it really makes you feel for these characters. The Rejects of course. And so when they get hurt or something happens to them you just want them to stand back up and kick the living shit out of the cops or whoever it is that hurt them.
