THE DEVIL’S REJECTS Returning To Theaters With New Rob Zombie Intro
Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects is returning to theaters nationwide – this time in glorious 4K! – as part of 20th anniversary celebrations for the blood-soaked cult classic.
Presented by Fathom Entertainment and Lionsgate, the second installment in Zombie’s infamous Firefly trilogy will screen for two nights only on Monday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 8, with an exclusive new introduction created by Rob Zombie, reflecting on the legacy and impact of The Devil’s Rejects.
Released in 2005 as a sequel to 2003's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects stars Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, William Forsythe, Leslie Easterbrook and the late, great Sid Haig, and begins with a revenge-crazed sheriff 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.
While critic reviews were mixed upon release, The Devil's Rejects has gone on to reclaim love within the horror community – Stephen King himself is a fan, calling it his 9th best movie of 2005 and praising it for having “no redeeming social merit”.
Tickets for The Devil’s Rejects 20th Anniversary will be available on August 22 at Fathom Entertainment and participating theater box offices. Head over to the official Fathom Entertainment site for more info!
