Independent Horror film research - 'The Devil's Reject's' (Zombie - 2005) F.O'C


Production: 


  • Sequel of 'House of 1000 corpses'.
  • Critics settled on the film being in the 'torture' sub-genre.
  • Zombie wanted the characters to be more grounded and real than most horrors and most films for that matter, something like a 'violent western'.
  • Zombie hired documentary maker Phil Parmet to be cinematographer as he wanted a 'handheld/ documentary' look.
  • 2 minutes of the hotel scene were cut for the theatrical release for being too disturbing but were added in for the DVD release.
  • Some of the actors were emotionally disturbed and didn't return to work for days after shooting certain scenes.
  • It made over $19m with a budget of $7m

Distribution:

  • The film relied partially on the cult following the franchise gained in 'The House of 1000 Corpses'.
  • It aired at the Scream awards

some interesting comments Freddie although the marketing campaign is not developed at all, perhaps this was not the best case study to show your skills.
