The Devil's Rejects - Rob
The second outing from Rob Zombie was, in my opinion, much better than his first (House of 1000 Corpses). It's not so much a horror movie as a psychological thriller, with a few gore scenes thrown in. I wouldn't say it was "scary" - disturbing would be more appropriate. And while it did fall short in places, especially towards the end, it was a satisfying ride.
The worst aspect of the film was Rob's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie. Her acting was sub-par throughout, and the few shots of her rear-end were simply gratuitous - Rob Z saying, "Hey, look everbody - here's my lady's tush!" Pointless. The rest of the acting was pretty solid, especially William Forsythe as the revenge-obsessed Sheriff and Bill Moseley, reviving his part of Otis, the twisted leader of the Rejects.
Direction, camera work and editing were top-notch in my book. All in all a solid flick, for those who don't mind a *lot* of cussing, some gross-out gore and a little nudity here and there. Patti didn't care much for it, but what does she know? Girls... sheesh.
VERDICT
WHO FELL ASLEEP: Patti
WHO RECOMMENDS IT: Rob
BUY/RENT/SKIP: rent

I do not recommend this film. It was pointless. Making a film like this just to make it is a waste of my time, Mr. Zombie. Better luck with your future work.
