\nThe highly anticipated (among horror fans, that is) follow up to Rob Zombie’s “House of 1,000 Corpses” is one of the biggest stinkers to be released upon us in a while. The film is one elongated, helluva mess with lots of violence, female nudity and gratuitous dialogue. Now, you gotta understand that “House” isn’t a great movie either, but it had this warped fun-house vibe to it that made the movie pretty enjoyable. “Rejects” just plods along with scenes that last too long, scenes that have no point (let’s buy chickens!) and violence that never creates any tension or thrills. Honestly, who wants to see Priscilla Barnes being torture while in her undies? I sure didn’t. A lot of reviews have been comparing “Rejects” to the likes of horror masterpieces “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Last House on the Left.” These are very flawed comparisons. None of the great 70’s films told the story with the killers as the sympathetic main characters. And, that is what Zombie wants. He wants us to feel sorry for the Firefly family. He even goes so far as to put some “warm and fuzzy” home movie footage near the end to try and make us go “awwwww, look they love each other so they don’t deserve to die.” Bah. It’s a bad mess of a movie that can be skipped. Rent “House of 1,000 Corpses” instead.~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
