Saw Rob Zombie's THE DEVIL'S REJECTS back in 2005 at a midnight show the night before its big national release. Came home that night and immediately put this together:
THE DEVIL'S REJECTS: The Critics Rave!
"Offensively inhuman, uninspired and cruelly unoriginal."
--Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"A reprehensible and loathsome journey of excess...any redeeming value is well hidden. "
--Edward Douglas, COMINGSOON.NET
"The Devil's Rejects doesn't just deserve to be rejected, but to be buried in a hole so dank that no one will discover it."
--James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
"A Reject Indeed. Zombie horror film unwatchable."
--Angela Baldassarre, SYMPATICO.CA
"Zombie doesn't appear to have any other goals besides assaulting the viewer with gore and callousness."
--Paul Doro, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"...there's little pleasure to be found in a movie of this nature."
--Peter Debruge, MIAMI HERALD
"Crass, vacuous exercise in grind-house stylistics."
--Kevin Crust, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Here is a gaudy vomitorium of a movie, violent, nauseating and really a pretty good example of its genre. If you are a hardened horror movie fan capable of appreciating skill and wit in the service of the deliberately disgusting, 'The Devil's Rejects' may exercise a certain strange charm. If on the other hand you close your eyes if a scene gets icky, here is a movie to see with blinders on, because it starts at icky and descends relentlessly through depraved and nauseating to the embrace of road kill."
--Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN TIMES
See it! You'll be glad you did, you sick bastiches!
