I agree that Devil’s Rejects is RB’s best (and only non-terrible) film, and way better than 1,000 Corpses. But it is still thoroughly mediocre with at least a half hour’s worth of totally meaningless screentime (virtually the entire stay at the brothel). When your best movie is just “ok,” that says a lot about how poor your oeuvre is.

One of the sequels was less serious than the others and I think that worked well. Less logic, more fun.
If they take a similar approach they can easily milk the formula some more.

I’d just love to see some crazy creative kills.

Nope, Devils Rejects was RB’s best movie and imo much much better than the average House Of 1000 Corpses.

I saw! Very excited!

Ginger Snaps is one of my favourite (and, sadly, most overlooked) trilogies.
I enjoy all 3 movies.

The next Cloverfield movie has just been announced.

Nice call on Rec 2. I am not as pessimistic about 10 Cloverfield, but agree that the praise absolutely baffled. Phenomenal trailer. Promising first third. And then the movie absolutely jumps the rails in the second two thirds. I at least admire the female protagonist and her resourcefulness… but that resourcefulness came out of nowhere. It seemed that she was simply hyper competent because the script demanded it.

It is a masterpiece of mediocrity!

Blade 2 is definitely a big omission. But then you lost credibility when you mentioned Devil’s Rejects.

For what it’s worth, it’s a sequel in the sense that Halloween 3 is a sequel.

I don’t know. I feel like Final Destination has gone pretty much as far as it can. The formula isn’t the most flexible.

I’m glad it didn’t.
I like the first one because it feels like a hyper violent cartoon but devil’s rejects is a Grindhouse masterpiece

Unique kills…Check
Cheesey one liners…check
Vorhees…check
Unique spin…check

Agreed.

Hell yeah, hatchet. Devils Rejects should’ve left in the Dr Satan Deleted Scene just to keep the tie in.

Wolf Creek 2!

Hmm, IMDB doesn’t tag it as horror, either.

Is Twilight horror? There’s not a build-up or feeling of dread or an attempt to scare the audience in the UW movies…At least not from what I can remember. It is a battle between vampires and werewolves where they’re going after each other with machine guns for the most part. There’s a love story, like in Twilight. As far as a being a genre fan for as many decades as I have been, and seeing the genre morph in as many ways as I’ve seen it, I don’t automatically say a movie is horror because it has vampires/werewolves anymore.

I agree. I liked the return to suspense. Was a welcome addition in my book and hope they continue with the next. Like Chucky more when he is not cracking wise jokes.

They always publicize these films this should have been an easy opportunity. It also deserves it. Shameless but no less true

Devil’s rejects is a masterpiece

The Devil’s Rejects! Oh, how could I have forgotten that one?! Nice choice

There’s quite the obvious reason that was left out.

Best ‘new’ slasher trilogy in ages…. Love how 1 & 2 are basically just 1 big movie…

I agree completely. They’re action movies. Adding vampires and werewolves didn’t make that Twilight dreck horror movies anymore than they did in this case. Stylized failures, really, as action movies as well that underutilized some top-notch talent like Michael Sheen, with an excuse to cram Kate Beckinsale into some uncomfortable rubber clothes in order to appease the teen male demographic. Great list, though! Enjoyed the article. Gingersnaps 2 was fucking awesome.

Good list over all but the exclusion of rec 2…it’s no bueno

Curse of Chucky was a delightful surprise especially after the abomination that was Seed. For me It’s probably tied for second in the franchise with Bride but behind Child’s Play 2

The Devil’s Rejects should definitely be on the list. I think it blows all of these away and is one of the best sequels all time period imo.

Blade 2 was very good and much better then it s original.

Saw II should be up there.

Jason X is amazing idc what anyone says. UBER-Jason rules!

Nice one! Definitely a solid movie!

We have different opinions, I hated Cold Prey haha

Saw II or Saw III, The Curse of Chucky, The Collection, some Final Destinations, REC 2 and Wrong Turn 2 are good sequels too. 🙂

Hehe, intestinal gas siphon.

Honestly I wanted to but I just thought it was way too silly. It’s definitely a fun watch but I wouldn’t say it’s one of the better sequels since 2000 😛

“9 Horror Sequels SINCE 2000 Worth Watching”

Underworld sucks donkey balls but it is horror for sure

Dead Snow 2 for sure! I forgot that even existed thanx

10 Cloverfield lane was awful. Just awful. I felt like my money was stolen it was so bad

Most Saw and Final Destination sequels are ok/good imo.
And I’d like more Final Destination movies. They should attach the guy from Piranha 3 or the dude who makes all those disaster movies. Or just let different horror directors and writers have a go at it.

Dead Snow 2 is so good in many ways. Wouldn’t mind a 3rd one, but it’ll be hard to top 2.
And Wolf Creek 2 certainly was better than part 1.

Insidious 2 pissed me off to no end. Taking one of the great bogeymen,the old lady, and giving her one of the lamest backstories I can think of.boourns!
