Horror films for my have to have catchy music, humor but seriousness, the occult, haunted houses, amusing bad guys that most people hate but you somehow love, stunts and good storylines.
a) What do you mean what happened to the catchy music?! Freebird? Midnight Rider?? Rock On?! Seed of Memory?!? The way Rob used music in the movie is absolutely fantastic.

b) The Devil's Rejects had everything you mentioned a horror film has to have, except the haunted house part. Catchy music? Check. Humor and seriousness mix? Check. Occult? Kind of check. Amusing bad guys most people hate but you love? CHECK. Stunts and a good storyline? Check, check.

We must've seen two different movies here.

I thought Otis was way better looking in Rejects that in 1000 Corpses. In fact I watched Rejects first, which is what lead me into watching Corpses. Anyway, I thought the characters actually had personalities in Rejects, that no matter how awful the things they were doing were, there was still something likeable about them. Otis had a very intelligent, humorours and, yes, sensual sexy side to him. The 3 of them (actually 4 if you count the scenes with mama in them), had some sort of family bond.

And at the end where Otis, Baby and Capt Spaulding driving towards what would probably be their ultimate death, and Freebird was playing with all the happy flashbacks, I just cried, cuz I wanted the "bad guys" to conquer! That doesn't happen to me very often, although at the end of Resurrection, where the white alien creature was getting sucked outt of the ship, that one made me cry too, but that's a completely different movie!
Anyway, Otis Rules!!!!!!!!!

I think that's easily the most emotional scene in a horror movie, ever. Period.

That's why 'Rejects' was so damn good. It had something horror movies don't tend to have: Emotion, power, believability.

You've got a point. I know I'm just having one of these funny moods. You watch something then suddenly go off it and then realise you were being silly, get on it again.

The best part for me was in the deleted scenes when Doctor Satan is in hospital and suddenly he wakes up! Bloody scene but once you've seen the hellraiser series you can watch anything bloody. Hellraiser is the worst film you could ever see if you wanted bloody gore action. But it's also the one to give you strength into watching more gore like movies! If I'm wrong about this, I need to watch more. I already behind on films as it is.

Call me crazy if you wish but I found their closet family bond in the first movie. True the second one shows them as human beings but I felt the first one gave them more of a personality style. I prefered Otis looking younger, I don't like bushy beards.

Well, ok Otis is hot in both movies, but I like his character in Reject's much better. Watch Rejects again (your homework assignment from HDC) and try to just see it how you'd see it without anyone elses' opinion crowding in. Kinda like the first time you watched it. I'm guesing you'll like it again, but that's just my Otis obsessed opinion. :) :D

I have to say that I loved the ending of The Devils Rejects as well. I also had tears running down my face. I hated Baby in the first film, in the second, I adored her.

The ending was beautiful in TDR's. Freebird...everything...simply beautiful.
