Some people think that The Devil’s Rejects is Rob Zombie’s masterpiece. Anything else is not as good. It’s devisive conversation, one that’s worth having because he is great filmmaker, especially with comic timing.
On another note, some people think that Daybreakers is a great vampire film, while others think it…ahem, sucks.
The former is getting a limited theatrical re-release by Fathom Entertainment on October 6 and 8 to celebrate it’s 20th anniversary. No such luck for Daybreakers, but both are getting a 4k UHD release: The Devil’s Rejects on October 14, and Daybreakers on September 16.
No matter what you think of these two movies, they are worthy of your physical collection and with all the extras that come with them, they might be worth your time.
Keep an eye out for these titles at your favorite physical media retailer.
The Devil’s Rejects (2005)
The Devil’s Rejects – the second installment of writer-director Rob Zombie’s demented Firefly trilogy – celebrates 20 years of depravity and dismemberment with a nationwide theatrical release on October 6 & 8. Brought to you by Fathom Events, and with a new introduction by Rob Zombie, the film begins with revenge-crazed Sheriff Wydell and his men surrounding the Fireflys’ homestead, guns blazing – but when the smoke clears, Otis and his sister, Baby, have managed to escape.
Taking refuge – and hostages – in a back-road motel, the most-wanted siblings rendezvous with their deranged partner in crime, Captain Spaulding, killing whoever happens to stand in their way. But as the body count mounts higher, Sheriff Wydell decides to “cross the line” and take the law into his own hands, paving the way for one of the most terrifying, mayhem-filled showdowns in cinematic history. See it on the big screen in theaters October 6 & 8 only, for an exclusive two-night event.
