You're letting one of the best dvd's of 2005 slip under your noses... (1 Viewer)

The music was very well chosen and used in the perfect spots in the film. The lead characters are brutal but likable.

And I would agree and list it in the top 5 of the year. Very underrated film that because of it's grim realness, alot of viewers won't watch.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

 

[Joe Karlosi]

I agree John! But one thing I was a tad let down by was when:

The cop gets his in the end. I think he should have got off scott free after he dealt his own brand of justice!

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Yeah, but one of the themes of the film, and indeed one of the things that sets it apart from your typical splatter-fest, is that no evil deed goes unpunished, even if the evil deed is somewhat justified.

 

[Joe Karlosi]

Very true.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Well....

(clearing throat)

I just finished watching the movie portion of
this DVD.

This was a pretty damn good film!

In fact, it exceeded all my expectations.

I'll go on record to say that though this was
probably the most violent and disturbing film that
I have seen in years -- it is brilliantly made!

Though I know nothing about Rob Zombie, I have
to applaud this man for sheer creativity. I loved
the manner in which this film was photographed,
accented with still camera effects and further
bolstered with a toe-tappin' classic rock soundtrack.

Yeah, I could easily embrace The Devils Rejects
as one of the best films of the year -- but I don't
expect that mainstream audiences will.

For those of you reading this thread for the first
time and are just plain curious and a little daring,
I would highly recommend you check out this movie.

 

[Ed Speir IV]

Wow, that's great!! Glad you liked it Ron!! It is my favorite film of the year.

 

[RickER]

Anything with Sid Haig aka Dragos from Jason of Star Command has to be worth a try! Still, I must wait til it drops in price a few. Then i will buy blind.

 

[Joe Karlosi]

It does my heart good to know you liked the film, Ron!

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I'm so glad to learn that you liked the film, Ron! I feared that you'd watch it, not like it and think that this Williamson fellow is nuts for touting it so hard.

 

[Sam Davatchi]

That's it. That's what pushed me over the edge! Now I will definitely check this title.

 

[TravisR]

I'm just happy that a person that's not a horror movie fan (at least I'm assuming Ron isn't a big horror guy ) liked the movie.

 

[Ravi K]

I'm not much of a horror fan and I loved it too.

 

[Lou Sytsma]

Good film, not great, with a 70's production feel to it. Forsythe was very good in his role.

 

[TravisR]

Very true! I thought Sid Haig and Bill Moseley were excellent but William Forsythe really stood out to me. I wish he'd get bigger (or more high profile) roles.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Sheri Moon-Zombie was nothing to sneeze at, either, not only is she hot but she, along with Mosley, Forsythe and Haig, managed to completely change her personality for her role as Baby.

You'd never guess that these were the freindliest bunch of people on Earth in real life from watching them in this film.

 

[Shawn_KE]

Yea, to hear Mosley in the doc and how squeamish he was acting out some of the scenes.

 

[CraigF]

^ Yeah, I also thought that was pretty funny, he seemed VERY uncomfortable with a lot of the scenes. I felt a little uncomfortable watching them...

Hadn't noticed, until the doc, that there were some of "Corman's girls" in the film. I presume that was Ginger Lynn the porn "actor" there too, doing what she does best...loved that scene line "50-50".

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Who is the actor that plays the married old guy who
was getting the ice out of the machine when he was
approached by the playful blonde?

It seems I have seen him in dozens of movies before.

He's a well-known character actor.

What is his name and what other movies have I
possibly seen him in?

Thanks

 

[Walter Kittel]

That would be Geoffrey Lewis

You may remember him from some of his earlier roles in a number of Clint Eastwood's films.
