For the record, I thought the first one sucked. House of A Thousand Corpses was a huge let down. Rejects is much better, but that makes it just average. It's overly violent and gory where it needn't be.
The improvements from the first film come by way of acting and plot.
This film allows for some good character development from the main
villains. In the first film, you had no idea as to why things were happening on screen.
Devil's Rejects has been compared to Natural Born Killers, which is a far
better movie story-wise. The camera work and editing has been greatly
improved upon since Zombie's first flick. I think if he focuses more
on telling a good story and less on being a sadistic whack-job, his
next film will be even better.
Rating: C
