What to Know

Critics Consensus

Zombie has improved as a filmmaker since "House of 1000 Corpses" and will please fans of the genre, but beware -- the horror is nasty, relentless, and sadistic.

Joshua Rothkopf Time Out 02/09/2006
The look and feel of this film is a total nightmare, and some of the most effective American mood-making in years. Go to Full Review Philippa Hawker Sydney Morning Herald 01/17/2006
2.5/5
As the body count rises, The Devil's Rejects tries hard to stay funny and nasty, but the effort shows... Go to Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club 09/26/2005
It's an audacious piece of filmmaking, but after a while it grows exhausting to watch, particularly when it becomes clear that violence is going to lead to more violence without much story or conscience surfacing. Go to Full Review Bryce Hanson Horror Movie Talk Dec 4
3/10
It has a higher budget, is more artistically shot, and has a few ok moments in it. However, like House of 1000 Corpses, this is really a big bag of nothing. It’s just like watching pigs wallow in the mire. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Sep 9
4/5
Takes what works about the original movie -- namely, the cast -- and tells an original, nightmarish road trip across the country, leaving brutality in its wake. Go to Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective 07/22/2025
A cinematic universe and characters created by a ‘B’ movie cineaste, and played by people who clearly loved and respected what had been given to them – it’s rare you feel that so abundantly as you do here. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
