It's bizarre how an audience can root for someone who dismembers, mutilates and KILLS a person, but not a rapist.

Gotta have your priorities straight.

i dont think rob ever promised an extended cut for House...i believe that was all rumored fan speculation because they knew there was more out there.

Okay... I've only seen one of the films you mentioned here, so I can't comment on the other ones, but in regards to "I Spit on Your Grave," did you actually think that was a good movie? The acting was awful, there really wasn't a story, and the cinematography and direction were pathetic. All in all, it was more or less a borderline porn film with some gore. I'm just curious why people view this movie as a "classic."

You have to consider I Spit was made almost 30 years ago, for virtually no money, with no name actors of any kind. So if you think the acting is "awful," try to keep in mind it's not like they had a pick of A-list Hollywood stars to cast in the thing. Still, I'd say Camille Keaton's performance is actually quite good. She appears truly terrorized, traumatized, etc., throughout the film, IMO.

Why I Spit stands as a classic of the genre, is that it's a pretty unflinching and brutal rape/revenge picture. It definitely crossed every line of what people believed was acceptable to show on film, and you couldn't even begin to MAKE a picture like it today. Also, there's just enough ambiguity to qualify it as more than a pure exploitation pic - did Keaton's character do anything to set up the rape in the first place? Is she "at fault"? Is her violent reaction justified? How does the audience feel about characters like Matthew - the "nice" rapist - and what ultimately happens to him? There's a few angles worth examining, and people's reactions to various aspects of the film can vary widely depending on their POV. To me, that sets the film apart from a "borderline porn film with some gore."

Anyway, I enjoyed The Devil's Rejects tremendously. It delivers all the goods you expect from a grindhouse flick. Zombie casts some great actors you almost never see - Sid Haig, Geoffrey Lewis, William Forsythe, Leslie Easterbrook, PJ Soles, Priscilla Barnes, that dude from The Hills Have Eyes, etc. Coming to root for the killers by the end is kind of a neat twist - and considering this happens after we've watched them murder four innocent people, it's kind of tough to pull off, too. Always been a big Sid Haig fan - in lieu of Jack Hill making more movies, its nice to see someone like Rob Zombie come along and hand him a good role. Definitely the kind of gory, disturbing, campy, exploitive pic you never see these days, but were a staple of the late 70's and 80's. It's definitely from that same mold.
 
this really needs to be made into an 'OWNED!' pic

Rob said he wanted it to be it's own movie, and it's definatly NOT a sequel. That's why he cut out the Dr. Satan crap. :(
 
Well, I definitely enjoyed it more than House, so I guess he succeeded. I'd still like to see the scenes on the DVD.
 
He was talking aboot it on Carson Daly, he said he wanted it to be like a whole new adventure for his characters, not a sequel to H1000.


...Don't ask me why I was watching Carson Day. :o
 
well i cant believe what im hearing with all this spin off stuff....
but in every interview i could listen,see, and read as of late....
1. his next movie wont be really horror (its that animated one)
2. no more house, rejects movies
3. hes barely considering going back and re-editing a directors cut for house
as quoted, "i just want to move on."

so im a little surprised to hear you guys talking spin off....
but i guess this is how these silly rumours start.

id say if you want proof dig up his interviews!
 
as well while we're talking Devils rejects

well its sad Hustle & flow got a percentage more this past weekend as far as opening scores go....

but i really expected at least no. 5!

anyways my point is this is one of those few gems, to see it for its difference!

this movie makes you confused how to feel! it challenges you! it shocks you, its surprises! and what a ride ! ! !

this is what everyones asking for, but this summer their too busy watching remakes and ripoffs!
WHATS WRONG WITH THEM!!! HERES SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT!!! GO SEE IT!!

But what does that stuff have to do with whether this was a spin-off or not? Rob has said himself this isn't a direct sequel and refers to it as a spin-off as he wants the movie to stand on its own and it does. Whats the problem?

And I'm glad of it. Once Dr Satan showed up in H1000C, the movie got too weird for me. I was almost completely onboard until then.

Saw it again today and I'm going w/ a guy I work with tomorrow. Loved it even more this time, except for the woman behind me was
rooting for the sheriff. She cheered during the torture scenes in the house and when they died.:mad:

And you think that this woman was WRONG for
rooting for the sheriff. She cheered during the torture scenes in the house and when they died.:mad:
?????

First off, I loved this movie (also really enjoyed House of 1000 Corpses), so I don't want to hear nonsense that I am stating what I am about to state because I didn't like the movie, couldn't handle the violence, etc, etc...
Now, the reason why I am responding to your comment above is because I have found (in both personal discussions, discussions on websites and in reviews) that many people seem to state that "you begin to feel for the Firefly clan by the end and think that they are victimized by Sheriff Wydell". When I hear people make statements of the like you did, it is the perfect testament that Rob Zombie has not only made a great western/horror/revenge/road movie, but in doing so he has also demonstrated the current situation in America where people (especially men) seem to relate to stylized violence. The Firelfly caln has committed hundreds of the most vile and sickening murders (well 70+ on record are discovered after the raid) that if one actually imagined them happening to one of their own loved ones would make one almost cry on the spot. However, because one of them is a complete babe (Baby) and another is an extremly funny foul-mouthed clown (Spaulding) many of the people who watch this movie relate to them more than a Sheriff who decides to punsih these people in the same way that they have punished countless victims before. I think it is very ironic that the majority of the audience for this movie seem to hate Sheriff Wydell and love the Firefly clan. Wow, Rob Zombie has truly shown that violence in America has been so glorified that people today root for the truly vile and evil people who have committed these rapes and murders rather than root for a man who is avenging the horrifc death of his brother and dozens and upon dozens of other innocent people. What have we become of as a society that many people relate more to one of the most sadistic, evil families in movie history simply because one of them is a hot woman and the other is a foul-mouthed clown and the two of them happen to enjoy tooty-fruity ice-cream and that there are a bunch of classic rock songs that play over their vile and evil murders and tortures?

Think again about why "the woman behind me was
rooting for the sheriff. She cheered during the torture scenes in the house and when they died.:mad:
" and why this bothered you because you may need a deep examination of your soul.
 
I didn't really feel for the Fireflys when they were being tortured. I started to loathe Otis and Baby when they were torturing the family at the motel.
I did love seeing the tables turned on them at the end. However I did feel for them toward the end when they're saying goodbye to Tiny and during their charge into certain death at the end because at times they don't really come across as sadistic, raping, torturing psychopaths. Zombie did a great job of developing the family bond between them in a way that's just hinted at a little in the TCM's.
When Otis is trying to hold back his tears and Baby is waving goodbye to him as they drive away with the liklihood being that they'll never see him again; that's such a beautiful moment.
I never really hated Wydell, the only thing he did that I felt was unjustified was killing Charlie, who was wrong for harboring them, but I don't think he himself was a murderer/sadist.
I was pretty neutral. I loved the family at times, hated them at others, and I was behind Wydell most of the way, but I still thought Tiny dispatching of him was a great moment. I love how he's not considered an impact player, yet he has a bigger impact than anybody in the film and doesn't want anything in return for it; and even insists on staying behind as he helps the others leave and chooses to accept death than go on as the only one left. Another touch I loved was Spaulding trying to take the blame for Baby's crime so that Wydell will torture him in her place, but her not allowing it.
There are times in this film where I don't see brutal, sadistc murders when I look at the Fireflys, I just see a family that love each other.

Yes, that was a very surprisng scene. He actually cared about her! :eek: That was a very different side of Spaulding from what we saw in the first movie, when he was toying with the robbers in his store.

Loved the realism of this movie. Loved it. The Fireflys seemed like real people instead of over the top psychopaths as in H1000C. Psychotic people, but real ones.
 
So, I'm trying to figure out the family tree now.

So Spaulding is Baby's father, which he was either a previous lover/husband to Mother Firefly. But Baby refers to Otis as her brother, so does that make him Spaulding's son, too? Or is he simply a half brother along with Rufus?


Anyone wanna clear that up for me?

If you look, that deputy there is Dave Sheridan, who is like William Forsythe's second hand.


Maybe this scene was supposed to be included cuz they found Dr Satan in the basement and took him out to the hospital?


I wish they left it in so it remotely explained WTF exactly happened in the last 30 minutes of House of 1000 Corpses.
