The Devil's Rejects

[bigperm]

thanks for the invite, BROTHER!

Okay, I've had enough.

You know... I didn't mind the occasional angry PM at first.  Telling me that I don't deserve my Lebowski avatar because I'm not a "real fan", but you've been bugging me for way too long, Señor Perm!

I get that you don't like me, but let's just keep it in PM, okay?  We don't need to waste everyone's time with these stupid comments, egging me on.  So for everyone else's sake, take it back to PM and just go back to posting album covers in public... everyone will like you better that way.

I didn't like House of 1000 Corspes, but I thought this one was pretty cool. A lot better than HO1KC. It's also pretty different than House. It's like its own movie. It had a few lame parts, but it is a B-movie.

The ending was tight.

I liked it too.  It was unabashedly grimy and sleazy and creepy and dark.

EDIT:  The scene with the film critic was hilarious.

[GoneSavage]

Zombie should focus on directing music videos.  In this movie, I believe there were 3 times when the scene would play over a song and the direction and focus were there, along with great editing.  The final scene being the best example.  I LOVED his style in these scenes.  However, my biggest gripe was the dialogue, he can't write for shit.  He's got his good plot down but when people speak (and not just the killers) it comes out very stilted and unnatural.  He needs help with that.  Oh and that "comic" guy Brian Posehn was the worst offender.  That long speech about mechanical bull riding that had nothing to do with the movie -- does he talk like that with his friends in real life?  If so, is he mentally retarded?  I know that inflection is his comedic schtick but in a movie, uhhh, it sucked bad.
 But yes, a lot of the style really impressed me.  That last scene was really cool.  Zombie just needs help with his dialogue is all, the kills were all great and unnecessary nudity is welcome.

[RegularKarate]

No need to shit-talk a genius like Posehn because you didn't like his dialogue.

I really liked some of the LINES in this movie.. they really worked, but overall, some of the dialogue WAS terribly akward.  I just don't care as much with a grindhouse type film like this.

[GoneSavage]

I would shit-talk his comedy but that would be in a different thread.

[Brazoliange]

I'll be seeing this when I get back in town on Saturday

It's also pretty different than House. It's like its own movie.

"By nature, sequels are terrible," says Zombie, former front man for the platinum-selling heavy-metal band White Zombie. "This one is sort of like the next chapter for these characters. And it's a much bigger, better film than the first, which is almost never the case."

i saw this for free a couple days ago, it's just getting a theatrical release here. pointless.

yes this thread was worth resurrecting just for that.

so we see the chicks ass in a couple shots, how is that "ballsy"? everything that happens in this movie is cheap, the dialogue is atrocious, even for uneducated redneck murderers their lines are incredibly stupid. how can someone fail at writing for IDIOTS? yeah, this movie does that. not that it matters, dialogue wouldn't be such a big deal if any of the characters could shut the fuck up for a second. god, "shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck" oh yeah that REALLY builds... something, rob! i can't get over how bad it was.

ok so after a point i tried to just WATCH it, pretending there was no sound, but the story is ridiculous. without tension, without momentum, especially in the last half hour as RK said. why is everyone being so nice to this movie? it's a piece of shit, a waste of time, not good for gore, nudity, or any of the crap everyone claims this had "balls" to show. it fails as a cheap whore and it fails as real film.

there were sum funny parts in it, occasionally the overwritten stuff would sound kinda ok mainly cos of the sheriff's delivery or whatever. but mostly it was stupid. WOLF CREEK is a million times better than this. i had avoided horror remakes and films like this for a few years since i realised they had all gone to shit after scream, and now i remember why. if i had known this is what passes for good these days, i would've confidently proclaimed Wolf Creek to be the best movie of the gotdamn century.

i'm watching Nochnoi Dozor tomoro nite.. may it give me new and exciting memories to replace these dull and boring ones.

actually, and i HATED house of 1000 corpses.  i thought it was a pile of badly written/acted/shot crap, like unbelievably bad.  and when i heard sequel i though, oh god.  but when i saw the trailer the other night i was actually thinking 'eh, ill probably rent this anyway'.   i dont know why, i guess i'm just hopeful that maybe zombie can turn his obsession with horror movies into a decent maybe even good movie.

well, not yet.  a huge improvement over corpses but still nowhere near a good movie.  and i can't put my finger on like, 'if he just worked with better actors, or if he just got someone else to write the script off his story, or if he just...'. but no.  none of those things alone is the problem.  sometimes the dialogue he wrote sucks, sometimes good dialogue is being acted badly and sometimes even when no one is saying anything the movie is directed badly.  so, i dont know what to tell him.  i still want him to make a good movie and will probably still see what he does next, but hopefully he'll make something that might actually be scary.

[squints]

Just saw this....not entertaining in the slightest....Life is too short to ever listen to Freebird...especially all the fucking way through...worst ending ever
i should've known. house of a thousand corpses was absoultely awful and i don't know why i expected this to be better, fuck you rob zombie for wasting my time

[NEON MERCURY]

hahahaha...this film was fucking awful....i think p's review is dead on but i need to do my thing also...the dialog and acting was just soooooooooooooo fucking stupid...it pissed me off..and this is comming from a guy who watches saved by the bell religiously and it makes me appreciate the dialog/acting in that tv show...i thought this was suppose to be a hardcore  film...but damn it was just lame as shit...i cant imagine anyone w/ more than three teeth and a healthy aversion to gram cracker  thinking that this was watchable....if you actually liked this film..why? ..is  it:

a) you think rob zombie is the "fucking man"
b) b/c you are White trash
c)  you like watching a screenplay penned by a water head baby w/ downs syndrome
d) you think its HARDCOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!

i liked this movie because it made me laugh, i liked the extreme characterizations, i liked that it was ridiculously over the top, and having been a fan of the original, i liked the direction they went with these characters. most members of the board know that i've always been a fan of shit movies with violence and humor and i especially like it when it's done distastefully, throwing gratuitous sex in there just for fun. true, it's very derivative and it doesn't break any new ground, but i'll take it over the namby pamby, heartfelt, oh so sincere movies everybody here seems to love. i would never put it on a list of the best movies of all time, but for an hour and a half i was entertained. i went to the movie theater with my friends to see people scream and get cut up. i was not disappointed in the least.
