    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    Another Rob Zombie movie that is pretty messed up and disturbing. Again, Rob's movie-making skills are not at question. He can carry an interesting story and knows how to direct a film, but unfortunatly he brings it down with disturbing content. In one mentionably disturbing moment a woman is sexually abused at gunpoint to give oral sex to her attacker in front of her husband. There are several instances of graphic nudity. Because of disturbances such as this, it is not appropriate for anyone under 18.

    Definately not just one star

    This movie was actually VERY good. yes it was insanely violent, had TONS of language- 300+ f words, and sadistic rape and sex scenes. But thats no reason to give it one star. I was on the edge of my seat almost the whole time and the entire movie i could not decide whether to want the Rejects to win or if i wanted the Sheriff to win. ALtogether great, suspenseful, and very inapropriate for most kids under 17, but i saw it when i was 14 and im not messed up :)

    Not a film for anyone under 15, I'm sorry I saw it.lol.

    Ok. This film was DEFINETLY exceeding the R-rating. If I were a member of the MPAA, I would most definetly give this movie an NC-17; I don't know what they were thinking or if they were completely high! Anyways, Rob Zombie could've done better.(Excellent job with Halloween; I LOVED it.)

    Very Disturbing and Unsettling, good horror

    This is a great horror flick for adults! I love movies with bloodshed and Violent sequences, for example the Punisher was, in my opinion, underated, but Devil's Rejects was too far over the top. A girl has her head exploded over the road in a car hit and characters are tortured and sexually abused. They say the f-word way too many times (528 according to imdb). NOT FOR KIDS, good horror though.

    alot of intence violence and gore, it may disturb you, the language is very strong, and sex, it does have nudity. but it is good, it has plenty of humor, drama, suspence,and horror

    Must see for horror fans.

    This is the sequal to his House of 1000 Corpses, however, unlike 1000 Corpses, it's evident Mr. Zombie gave the script some thought. From the beginning Rob Zombie grabs you by the back of your neck and pulls you in to a world of absolute madness, where it holds you not only hostage, but will also force you to question your own sense of right and wrong when you realize you're sympathetic for the Rejects. The movie is extremely violent and the use of profanity would make Al Pachino's Tony Montana blush. Great horror movie, but absolutely not for children or the squemish.

    Rob Zombie is a Master of Film

    This is a great film for anyone over 17. You have to remember, it is JUST A MOVIE, these things DIDNT really happen. This is a throwback to the great exploitation films of the mid-late 70's/early 80's that were always fun drive-in flicks. If you liked any of these, you will love The Devil's Rejects: The Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on The Left, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), these are all great masterpieces of American Film History & The Devil's Rejects proudly takes its place along side them and many others from that era in independent film making. Do yourself a favor, see this movie & remember, IT IS JUST A MOVIE.

    Look past the blood/gore

    Sure every 2 minutes theres a bit of gore here, alot of blood there, but really the movie isn't THAT Bad. Personally I love it. My friends and I saw it in the theatres 5+ times. It's definately not for a younger audience, but the soundtracks great, the characters /actors were well thought out.. the whole movie was put together perfectly. It appeals to a darker side in all of us i think

    Vile and Mean-spirited

    I hate to lend credence to this film by giving it more publicity, but I think it really points to something significantly abhorrent deep in the recesses of the minds of the filmmakers.
