I'm on the other side of the fence on this one. I absolutely love House of 1,000 Corpses and felt that The Devil's Rejects was a great sequel too but not as great as the first movie.

It's really rare I prefer a sequel to the original and disagree with 90% of what people have listed in this thread, but I am kinda surprised noone has mentioned Blade 2 yet...

Didn't even think about that. Blade 2 is a lot better then the first one.

I do genuinely understand that there will be people who prefer the first film it was full of some very great ideas-I just felt they were delivered in a patchy and messy way whereas The Devil's Rejects also had inventive ideas but were delivered in a more cohesive, well arranged and gripping way

Truth is, I don't even have a clue what it is about the first movie that I like so much, I just do.

More Thriller maybe than Horror and while perhaps not a direct sequel in some minds, Silence Of The Lambs was perfect. I do still like Manhunter though.

Agreed, I would say in order of my faves it would be 2, 3 then 1.. The series is just crap

Yeah plus the cast was a lot better. The villain's in the first were just stupid....not as bad as the third one though.
