Free as a Chicken – Rob Zombie’s ‘The Satan’s Rejects’ Turns 20

Rob Zombie has been one of the polarizing figures within the horror group since making the leap from musician to filmmaker. He made his characteristic writing and directorial debut with Home of 1000 Corpses in 2003 — after being bought by Lionsgate when its authentic studio, Common, shelved it three years prior on account of fears of it receiving a dreaded Nc-17 score.

Corpses fell sufferer to many points confronted by first-time administrators — Zombie was seemingly not sure if he’d ever get the chance to make one other film, leading to an anarchic mélange of concepts and influences — however the finish outcome stays potent all these years later. Regardless of the troubled manufacturing and a largely unfavorable essential response, the movie turned a wholesome revenue, giving Zombie the sinister urge to make a sequel as his sophomore effort.

Launched 20 years in the past in the present day, The Satan’s Rejects is decidedly extra grounded in actuality than its heightened predecessor.
