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."  ColeSmithey.com  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

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

1/5
"."  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."  eFilmCritic.com  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."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
