Welcome back to '10 Days to Halloween'. Today we are going to talk on another of my favorite films of all time. That being The Devil's Rejects. This film is Rob Zombie's second original film, the first being House of 1000 Corpses which was just a giant music video.Rob Zombie's love of old school horror films really shows in his directing of this film. With some great shots of the actors in creepy, Arizona desert motels and a great action scene at the opening of the film. This action scene really does not take away from the film's horror roots and actually adds to the atmosphere.
Let's talk about some of the actors. Sheri Moon Zombie is great in her part as one of the 'insane' serial killers. She is coupled with her brother Otis (Bill Moseley) who is also great in his role and has sprung a very memorable quote from about 30 minutes into the film. Sid Haig plays one of the most psychopathic but hilarious clowns ever seen, and I don't like clowns.
The actors really seem to gel together while they are on screen with each other. Couple these three serial killers with a Christian sheriff (William Forsythe) who starts to become a psycho serial killer himself in his man hunt for these fugitives.
As I've said, Rob Zombie has done a stellar job in the creation of this film and It just makes for such a great watch it's crazy.
Anyways, you should watch it. NOW!
I'm going to leave you with this impression of The Devil's Rejects. Come back tomorrow for some more '10 Days to Halloween'. Tomorrow is the second to last post and I will finally talk about a zombie film, just not one you would expect.
