Synopsis: As a “Part 2” to House of a 1000 Corpses (2003), The Devil’s Rejects continues the story of the twisted and deranged Firefly family as they attempt to escape the vengeful Sheriff Wydell. The sheriff, who has his own history with the family, decides to "cross the line" in order to destroy the family and garner some revenge. The following events of kidnapping, murder, and general mayhem leads to a violent and deadly confrontation at, of all places, a whore house!

Review: In my opinion this movie was better than House of a 1000 Corpses (2003). It seems as though Rob Zombie’s second attempt at the Firefly family brought more realism and depth to the story as a whole. Between finding their partner, Captain Spaulding, and escaping to safety, you still get treated to the mayhem and violence you've come to expect from the family, and you even get treated to a tender moment between Otis and Baby involving ice cream. As a new director Mr. Zombie has managed to produce another interesting piece of cinema.

Rating: I give this movie a 20 simply because compared to “House” it gives you more insight into the family and keeps you interested from beginning to end. It was funny, weird, and intense all at the same time. (20of25).
