I went to see "Devil's Rejects" because I absolutely loved "House of a 1000 Corpses", but I found it disappointing. Yes, there is gore and violence, yes the bad guys are scary, and yes, it has atmosphere, but not a creepy one; to me it played more like a shoot-em-up action movie than a horror film. It's as different from HoaTC as could be and, for me, that took a lot of the magic out of the movie. I'd even go so far as to say that sometimes it had a decidedly Western feel to it, and no, I don't like Westerns! I guess if you watch it without the idea that it's a horror movie it might be fairly entertaining, but don't expect too much if you're a lover of the genre.
I'd recommend maybe renting it, but just to help support the WE WANT MORE R-RATED HORROR MOVIES campaign.
