House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects.

House of 1000 Corpses was... okay. The characters were annoying and unsympathetic as usual and I think it's Rob Zombie's talent to create obnoxious characters. And the end was a joke, right? I really hope so. Otherwise it's the most stupid ending I've ever seen. Wow, just... wow.

Because of that I thought that The Devil's Rejects would be as bad or even worse. But it was much better. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending but just because my favourite character has been killed, so...

I have the feeling that Rob Zombie wanted to create something like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - just with more blood, with crazier characters, with more insults. And that's totally fine. While he failed with House of 1000 Corpses in my opinion he created a quite enjoyable movie with The Devil's Rejects. I liked to see Bill Moseley to take over a role that's totally weird and crazy again (although I didn't like the character of Otis) and Captain Spaulding has to be my favourite out of both movies together with Tiny (which isn't very hard since most of them irritated the hell out of me).

What also wasn't very good was the acting of Sheri Moon Zombie. She just didn't impress me.
