Featured review
Sick, Twisted and Fun
I watched House of 1000 Corpses a couple months ago after I heard about The Devil's Rejects. I thought the style was interesting and the use of music was good, but overall my reaction was a resounding "meh". I thought the best thing he had going in that movie was the Captain Spaulding character, which was extremely underused. I thought the set up for the character was great, but after the first half hour or so, he just kinda disappeared until the last 30 seconds of the movie. I was excited to see that in TDR however, Spaulding, along with Baby and Otis (two of the better characters in House) were going to be the focus of The Devil's Rejects. So how was Rejects? Sick, sick, sick, sick, and twisted, to the point we're I'm almost ashamed to say that I really liked it. Its not a perfect movie, but I think that it was such a big improvement on House, that I was willing to turn a blind eye to its imperfections. While people noted that House seemed like just another Texas Chainsaw Massacre rehash, this has more of the feeling of a road trip comedy (albeit a tad gorier), which is enhanced by the surprisingly well written interactions between the Fireflys. There were parts that felt reminiscent of From Dusk Till Dawn and one bit that seemed almost like it was borrowed from a Roadrunner cartoon (you'll know it when you see it).
In terms of gore, despite my cries of "sick" in the previous paragraph, there wasn't anything I found myself unable to handle, but I did notice some members of the audience walking out at some of the more gruesome moments.
There are a few bits here and there that run a bit long, but for the most part the movie is well paced, and as I said before, although I'm almost ashamed of it, I really enjoyed this movie.
