The devils rejects
 
sorry if theres already a thread about this< I couldn't get search to work, what do people think about it and what film is it a sequel from.
maybe I'm just jaded but I didn't think it was that shocking

The Devil's Rejects is a sequel of House of 1000 Corpses. I personally liked Corpses better though the acting was better in The Devil's Rejects. The latter did not really phase me either, but any reason to watch Bill Mosely is fine by me.

Not at all. 2003, I believe.

I prefer Rejects.

pourquoi? Just cause you like westerns and old movies and this was a mix of a western and Bonnie and Clyde? With some extra swearing and hillbillies for extra measure....

for a film that was meant to be really shocking the baddies spent very little time torturing and killing people

I like The Devil's Rejects because it's an "on the road" movie with an unbelievable 70s atmosphere. Essentially, yeah, I like the western-grit style to it.

I had to give it a couple of views, but I ended up liking it, though not nearly as much as I like House of a Thousand Corpses.

To me, The Devil's Rejects presents much more three-dimensional characters. In 1000 Corpses, they're just unstoppable monsters who line in a house of torture. In Rejects, they're human and weak; hell, they're on the run, and they're scared. It's a horror movie in a much more subtle way. And I like that.

It's a good change of perspective and it's from a realer space. I think people miss a lot of the good points in 1000 Corpses. There's a certain amount of concretism people expect from a slasher movie and it's not quite there. It's more of a tour of where slasher movies come from.
