first and foremost, if House was a tribute to old school slash and shit, this is a tribute to 70's roadhouse and explotiation flims. not so much horror, definitly offsetting in a different way.
movie overall is good
ending is fucking horrible though
i hate the total lack of continuity.
but the rest of the movie pretty much makes up for it.
except for the omission of the Dr.Satan stuff (i have pics of some of those scenes on my computer ill post if anyones interested), the omission of the cult of dr. satan linking the shit together characterwise (read
http://www.thedevilsrejects.com bios on the main 3 to get that info)...... and you can tell its over-edited.
but the punch remains
its not a horror movie, but aside from me not liking the ending (i can even look over the omission of pivotal shit) i really, really, really fucking LOVED this movie
it was so close to perfect
sucks they fucked up those aspects
oddly enough, at
http://www.imdb.com they cite Dr.Satan for being in the movie, proving the pics on the net and his orginial statements of the history of the background of dr.satan being revealed....... well you get the idea.
also i really fuckin am mad at RZ for stating in interviews (again, check the website, click the main skull and read the interview segments) that everything past the scene in House.. of the coffin drop is the main chick's pyscho breakdown and nothing after the coffin drop happend, its the "trip before dying"....
its one thing to fuck up this movie, dont fuck up the other one too.
but all things equal, im not dissing the film, im just disappointed it wasnt perfect and thats really what i expected after my love affair with House..
its a fucking great flick, and worth the cash
but its not really a horror flick. theres not a word for this one.
its just fucking insane. and its a hellride that (if you saw House..) youll really fucking love.
plus Baby showing her ass constantly is always welcome.
im hugely a fucking fan of the way that the deaths (theres really not enough) and the torture is done more in a quasi-realistic fashion.
i mean if your going to go on a roadtrip death spree... it helps to maybe not instantly murder everyone you see and really get use outta em? yea i can totally fucking see that.
plus pretty much every death in the movie, every torture, every scene with a spec of blood, is done SO FUCKING WELL. i mean theres scenes in that flick that will make you scene crawl. they move slow. the damage is visible. its more REALISTIC. but still far fetched.
EXCEPT THE CG BLOOD. THAT FUCKING SUCKED.
but rob is saying those few scenes had to be done that way to get them in the movie, let us pray the DVD shows us buckets more blood.
BEST THING ABOUT THIS FLICK OVERALL:
the fact there is not a villian. there is not a hero.
everyones fucked up. you dont know who to root for.
the sheriff starts so steve mcqueen (spelling?) and evolves so much... the devils rejects become humanized.... where does the line of right and wrong exist in this flick? it doesnt. its totally up to you
that was done brilliantly.
theres alot of bitches to be had with this movie, only because it was great but the small detractions greatly anger you because the rest was so good you really want to be perfect
and its not.
but its definitly worth the ride, as tomorrow im going to see it again.
haha
recommended, just judge lightly.
