So I watched The Devil's Rejects for what I thought was my second time watching it, but then I realized I had actually only seen about 25 minutes of the movie before, so it was my first time watching it through. It was a good movie, but I'm still sort of leaning towards House of The 1000 Corpses as being the better one of the two.
I hated how Rob shot some of the scenes in the movie, like seriously, what is his obsession with turning otherwise perfectly good parts of the movie into slow-motion scenes with country music playing in the background. There were some other faults too like Sheri's god awful acting near the end, I mean I was actually ok with the whole over the top laugh and her character was obviously made to be annoying, but seriously, the part where Wydell's beating them up in the house her crying and acting was so painful to watch, what the fuck.
I did enjoy it none the less, it was surprisingly different from House of The 1000 Corpses, in a good way though.
One thing I seriously didn't get though was how exactly was Cpt. Spaulding Otis and Baby's dad? In House of The 1000 Corpses Mama told one of the main characters that the dad tried to burn the house down and I got the image that the firefighter looking weirdo at Dr. Satan's lair was the father of the family. Am I missing something?
