I liked zombies music and even liked "house of 1000 corpses" cause it felt like zombie but this movie fell so short on so many levels.

I listened to an interview with him on NPR, IIRC... his intent with "The Devil's Rejects" was not a horror film. I think he had Peckinpah and Tarantino in mind for this.

Hell... even John Carpenter can't make a decent classic-style horror movie anymore.

I'm not sure the problem is his. It might be us. We've outgrown that particular style.

***Spoiler alert***

The movie was kinda predictable and the Sheriff's death at the end was obvious from the 1st scene of the movie.

But at least Zombie choose some classic B movie favorite actors that I love.

Ken Foree - "Dawn of the Dead"

William Forsythe - "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead"
