"If it was MEANT to be a horrible movie that most people would be disgusted by and is only targetted at a select few who like to download fake snuff films off the internet, why market it so heavily and release it in major theatre chains?" Fake Snuff? Ouch, dude...that's not what I meant with "bloodlust". The people who this movie was targeted to (I'd say primarily male demographic, 16-25, eh?), all went out and saw it opening week...hell, I know I did. Unlike others, I knew exactly what I was going to see on that screen. I knew I was gonna see a cesspool of violence, smut, and a cruel, vulgar killing spree by the main hellbilly trio from the first movie. And I was okay with that. Hell, I bought a package of Jujyfruits to enjoy while watching the sadistic mess! That doesn't make me a bad person, OR characterize me as a pervert who gets off on seeing people getting hacked into tiny bits, does it? And the marketing thing could be summed up with this. Mtv + Rob Zombie + Friendship = MASS MARKETING! "'Nuff said." (Stolen from a wise man) I guess I'll have to agree with your friends. But, I will, however, be the first to agree that this movie is a filthy, perverse, and disgusting...but yet still somewhat fascinating and enjoyable. Go for the psychotic gore, go for the demented clown, go for constant shots of Sherri Moon's ass...or at least see it when it comes out to DVD. It's not THAT bad. Just be prepared for what you're about to watch.

See, I just don't buy that justification. If it was MEANT to be a horrible movie that most people would be disgusted by and is only targetted at a select few who like to download fake snuff films off the internet, why market it so heavily and release it in major theatre chains? I think reality lies closer Rob Zombie and his cohorts not knowing what the fuck they're doing, and a movie industry too lazy and greedy to care.

Tooty Fucking Fruity! Didn't like it? That's too bad. You should of tried to take it for what it's worth: A movie intended to shock and possibly disgust the general audience. And for the crowd who went to see it to feed their bloodlust...they were happy! Zombie knows who to play the movie towards, and even though it was never intended to be a HIT, it still is worth a watch. Perferably with a full crowd (which makes these types of movies 10x better....sometimes) With the crowd I saw Devil's Rejects with, they all groaned in unison with the gore, they laughed at all the appropriate times, and all jumped and screamed "HELL YEA!" during the...um...splatter moments. There are some spots which made no sense, and a couple of scenes of atrocious acting (Mother Firefly's scene at the jail...ACK!), but overall, it was exactly the movie it was intended to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Ebert hit it right on the nail.

So.... I take it you didn't like it? You speak in such twisted riddles! I need a solid opinion on this piece of experimental cinema! STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH MR. BEN BROWN! Seriously, I hear it's a good flick on absinthe. But that's just what I heard around the campfire.
