- 100Dallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonDallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonThe cast is full of cool cult actors past and present, and the movie is great at what it does. It's also brutal as hell, and not everyone will have the stomach for it.
- 80The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsZombie fills The Devil's Rejects with thrilling setpieces, pays homage to his inspirations without outright ripping them off (most of the time), brings back some cult-movie icons (hello, Mary Woronov and E.G. Daily), and works in some profanely clever dialogue.

- 75Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittIf you're not in the mood for "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" meets "Last House on the Left," stay very far away. Horror fans will find what they're looking for, though.
- 60VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangIf you can stomach the violence -- and despite the R rating, that's a big if -- it's hard to deny that Zombie has made exactly the movie he set out to make, guaranteed to satiate his considerable fan base and sicken just about everyone else.

- 50Philadelphia InquirerDavid HiltbrandPhiladelphia InquirerDavid HiltbrandCompletely unhinged, a garish and gonzo walk on the wild side.
- 40L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThis film is lean, tight and irredeemably vile. People are gonna love it.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustCrass, vacuous exercise in grind-house stylistics.
- 30Village VoiceBenjamin StrongVillage VoiceBenjamin StrongBy rubbing your nose in this hillbilly mayhem, Zombie all but dares you to acknowledge your liberal elitism, simply because just now, in Dubya's America, you don't happen to find anything particularly funny or lovable about stupid, dangerous provincials.
