9/10
"one disorientingly demented trip through the terrain of 1970s outlaw grindhouse."
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
4/10
"I’m all for horror fans having their go at the genre and paying respect to the classics - but affection doesn’t equal execution."
Freeze Dried Movies
Brian Juergens
A-
"Free from studio baggage and delays, Zombie has created the semi-sequel,
The Devil's Rejects,
and he's found a crackerjack vehicle for his particular brand of madness."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
B
"In the genre of low-budget hillbilly slasher movies, it's a masterpiece."
AboutFilm.com
Carlo Cavagna
F
"
The Devil's Rejects
is ultimately unredeemable for its wrongheaded attempt at glamorizing a band of cocky and detestable serial killers."

Cole Smithey
"That Wydell's efforts to get even are so hypocritical raises questions about vengeance as a pop-cultural theme, in that the pay-off is so meaningless. "
Common Sense
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"Has its articulate moments but for the most part Rob Zombie's grisly, nasty
'Devils Rejects
is mostly just grisly (and nasty)."
rec.arts.movies.reviews
David N. Butterworth
2/4
"While [the film] does contain a number of genuinely creepy moments...Zombie bogs things down with a plethora of broadly-played, overly wacky supporting characters."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C
"It makes for one sicko spectacle."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3/4
"
The Devil's Rejects
is meanspirited, graphic, and bubbling over in ultra-realistic viscera, but it isn't without sociological merit."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
2/4
"Zombie has made a film not so much out of reverence for the images that shaped his youth but out of fear that he may never get to make another one ever again."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
F
"There's nothing worthwhile about a single moment of it, not even in a prurient, I-love-to-wallow-in-debauchery sort of way. It is simply rancid, unbathed, country-fried filth."
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
C-
""A bad film, but its badness has little to do with adjectives like sickening, repulsive, disgusting, etc.""
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
C
"Can't be classified as a good movie, but if you have a taste for this sort of thing and a strong stomach to go along with it, this could be the dish for you."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
0.5/4
"
The Devil's Rejects
doesn't just deserve to be rejected, but to be buried in a hole so dank that no one will discover it."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
8/10
"Rob Zombie semble désormais posséder tous les attributs nécessaires pour en devenir l'un des artisans les plus importants de sa génération"
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
B+
"Captures the visual texture, spontaneity, and mania of 1970s shock cinema classics like
Last House on the Left
and
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Jeremiah Kipp
8/10
"If Tarantino’s first film was an homage to ‘70s grindhouse horror films instead of
Reservoir Dogs
, he probably would have made this picture."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick

3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
3.5/5
"Much better than the cinematic cesspool of substandard 70s horror remakes we’ve been seeing lately."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
A-
"Fans of 70's exploitation horror get ready to get jazzed - "The Devil's Rejects" is the real deal - a gritty, nasty, stylish piece of work "
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
3/5
"One of a handful of sequels that both improve on their sources and play perfectly as stand-alones."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
"Like some gritty 70s cinema artifact that fell through a timewarp, [it] rings with the unholy dread of early Tobe Hooper..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/4
"Rob Zombie has taken a form of filmmaking that was of questionable repute and elevated it by putting the pieces together better than most of the form’s original practitioners."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
4/5
"an exhilaratingly sick joke"
Filmcritic.com
Nick Schager
4/5
"A labor of love sheathed in the shabby clothes of hate."

Rob Gonsalves
B+
"“The Devil’s Rejects” will repel many but will thrill the fans and the daring. I think Rob Zombie has an instant horror classic on his hands."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
1/5
"Robert Cummings (OK, trick or treaters, sorry; it's ROB ZOMBIE) has officially become the Jerry Springer of the horror movie set."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
C
"It's the framework of an exploitation tribute Tarantino could love ... with a little polishing and a lot more backbone."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
3/4
"Casts light on what it is about the way we are that make wickedness so damnably attractive."
