Yeah, especially the "slap her" part.

Yeah, but if we're going that route, House of 1000 Corpses ripped quite a few films off itself. Rob Zombie is a borrower- the Tarantino of horror.

I agree. It's not really stealing, it's metaculture.

No, no, no... I'm saying the only scene that really felt lifted was that slapping scene as it was almost word for word at some points. I'm not saying the movie was a rip off at all, in fact as I said earlier that I agreed with Urge about the films being homages to different sub-genres.

Depends on the Mood
 

When it comes to deciding which of these two movies is better, I would have to say they are equally matched... it just depends on the mood you're in. If you want to have some fun and laugh while people are being slaughtered, watch House of 1000 Corpses (BTW: while it was released in 2003, the first trailer can be found on The Crow - at least on the VHS, though I'm not sure of the DVD). However, if you want a gritty, relentless, not-often-funny, 70s-styled exploitation film, watch The Devil's Rejects (though it is not as violent or shocking as some of the 70s cinema I've seen). Also, if you like Sig Haig's nutsack watch DR. If you want to find out more about Dr. Satan, wait for Rob Zombie's animated feature, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, based on a comic book he wrote which contained the character (if done like the comic, it could become my new favorite anime).

I much prefered Rejects. It was more my style. The killers were much more menacing in this.

I'd love to see The Haunted World of El Superbeasto done as a anime!

You needn't wait much longer. However, I don't like the way Dr. Satan looks. They changed it from the comic.

I wonder why Zombie changed the character of Otis so much from one film to another to a point where they don't even look like the same character.

In H1kC - Otis looks albino and talks alot more preacher style mumbo jumbo and seems to be driven by a higher purpose (as well as considering himself an artist).

In the sequal, he looks a lot different and definally seems to have lost all traces of his ablinism..Though obviously survival is his major drive in the sequal he seems to have lost a lot of his religious zeal too and comes across more an opportunistic sexual sadist serial killer.
