The Devil's Rejects (2005)

Following the events of the first film, the Firefly family is resting peacefully in their beds until the entire county's police force came knocking on their front door.

Knowing it's a kill or be killed scenario, the family prepares by arming themselves and start to fight back. After a few deaths, Baby and Otis find their way out of the house and start running for their lives in order to find refuge.

Once again written and directed by Rob Zombie and starring, Sid Haig, Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Ken Foree and Matthew McGrory.

The storyline for this sequel has much more depth than it's predecessor. As opposed to just being a gory slasher, Zombie has taken the characters he has created and gave them more emotion by turning the tables and putting them in the same situations they would typically have had their victims in.

The characters being portrayed didn't really show me anything new and played the same old crazy killers they had in the first which did nothing to help me enjoy the film more. In example, the scene's where the Firefly's were torturing and holding prisons captive seemed almost repetitive from the first as well as many other low key horror films.

Although watchable, it's not a film I would go out of my way to see. Zombie does get better from here in his filmmaking endeavors so do not take this as a warning to stay away from his films because you will regret missing out on his better work as it is excellent. If you don't believe me, I implore you to watch both his versions of Halloween. You will see exactly what I mean.

With everything being said and done I will throw this sequel a 5 out of 10!

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

While on a country wide journey, four friends whom are attempting to write a book about roadside attractions runs into a clown named captain Spaulding who tells them about a local legend named Dr. Satan. The group, now intrigued, decide to hunt down Dr. Satan's place of death but are interrupted by a passing hitch hiker who drags them all to her family home and to their possible demise.

Written a directed by Rob Zombie and starring Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, Rainn Wilson and Chris Hardwick.

If you are a fan of fun, gore filled slasher movies, loaded with more maniacs than you can shake a stick at, then look no further! Zombie takes the Texas Chainsaw Massacre "family" idea, throws in a few extra crazies and cranks it all the way up to eleven and you have yourselves the Firefly family!

The story line seems to be all over the place with the unexpected and unexplained just popping up every which way making this slightly confusing among somebody's first viewing on the film. After watching it two or three times you should be able to pick up on all the little things that would help piece it all together.

The special effects were excellent to say the least. They really gave out the effect it needed too in order to bring up the creepy factor.

Not Zombie's best work, but still good, especially considering this was his first go as a director. Corpses gets a 6 out of 10.
