Devil's Rejects (2005) #412

One thing that Rob Zombie is extremely gifted in is the ability to draw so many recognizable names to appear in his films; from Danny Trejo to Kane Hodder, to Ken Foress to even comic Brian Posehn. Sadly, he isn't nearly as gifted at creating a solid horror film. Granted, "The Devil's Rejects" was only his second feature film and is an obvious homage to the grindhouse films of the 1970's but it stands to argue that it is he weakest production, overly violent without a purpose, and it is simply not entertaining for the casual horror film viewer. Besides the fact that the movie stars three of the characters from Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses", "The Devil's Rejects" barely functions as a horror movie in the first place.

Southern Gothic

The vampires in “Southern Gothic” are nothing more than the worse Southern stereotypes that are poorly acted out. The inexcusable dialogue that William Forsythe was given and his rendition as a backwoods preacher who has an addicted to strippers is downright insulting. The lead character, Hazel Fortune, is a decent character that the audience might care for if only he wasn’t in such a dull movie with a plot that never shifted out of first gear. I did not enjoy this film (as you can tell) and the technical flaws like the lighting a sound are more than enough nails in this coffin to convince me to find another movie to watch and wash away the bad taste of this film.
