If you haven't seen it the Devil's Rejects is really a remarkable film, especially for a director doing only his 2nd film. But what chance does it have against Hitchcock's iconic masterpiece?


(6) Psycho

(27) The Devil's Rejects[/size]

Normally I'd say no chance but these showdowns always have upsets.

I love Zombie but I'm not voting against Hitchcock.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Devil's rejects is near the top of my list of movies I need to see. I saw House of 1,000 Corpses. I liked it but didn't love it. I'm a big fan of Zombie the musician so I'm very willing to give Zombie the director another chance. It is doubtful I'll see the movie before the deadline however so my vote most likely will go to Hitchcock,

[Lori]

Smite away, but I've never seen the original Psycho, I'm going with Rejects.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

And you call yourself a horror fan? I'm so disappointed.

[Lori]

Yeah, everyone has to miss one or two. If I remember correctly, you've never seen Cabin Fever or Shaun of the Dead, room to talk is where?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

With all due respect madam, there's a difference between Psycho and some generic teen slasher flick.

[Lori]

Meh, in twenty years Shaun of the Dead will be one of our classics.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I'm with Solly on this one. Shaun of the Dead and Cabin Fever??? Hardly the standard bearers for a genre.

[Lori]

Cabin Fever is an admittedly and intentionally bad movie. It's campy, and not all that good, but seems to be everything its director wanted it to be. Shaun of the Dead on the other hand, is fucking brilliant.

[Lucky]

Shaun of the Dead is hilarious. But it will be in that side group with Army of Darkness. No, I'm sorry. That doesn't compare to not having seen Psycho. That's just bad, Lori. The worst part is that by now there's no way any scene in that movie could be new to you.

Oh, Mkid, definitely check it out. I kinda like House of 1000 Corpses but had a ton of complaints. Its amazing what strides Zombie took from there to Rejects. Really, House screamed 1st time director who was obsessed with horror and just copying shit he loved. Rejects is just this great story and awesome characters that came out of nowhere. Soundtrack, pacing, cinematography. I swear I watched it for Zombie's wife and I was shocked at how good it was. I watched it on one of those premium cable channels and immediately rewatched the airing on the West Coast version of the channel.

It was really just such a great job and amazing improvement. It was enough for me to be comfortable giving Zombie a chance remaking Halloween and I never thought I'd be ok with that. I mean, Halloween was perfect and still is.

[Lori]

Meh, I'm alright with it. And no, it won't be new to me, I've seen the new Psycho, and liked it, Vince Vaughn was awesome.
And as much as I liked Devil's Rejects, I'm still not sure how ok I am with anyone remaking Halloween.

[salmonjunkie]

Psycho is my favorite horror movie of all time. I watched it in the dark in the middle of the night by myself on my folks' big screen. I was scared AS FUCK. This is the movie that I'm pushing to make it all the way.

Liked it so much I refuse to watch the remake. But I'll watch the Halloween remake. The trailers look dope.

Lori, watch the damn movie. Just do it. This is not me just being old-timey. Remember, I hated Citizen Kane.

[Lori]

I'd watch it if it fell in my lap, I have nothing against seeing it. But for now, I went with Zombie.
