It was originally set to be released through Universal. But, although they knew what Rob was doing at all times, they got scared when they viewed the finished product and gave the rights back to him to find a distributor. Then MGM was supposed to release it until they heard an off-the-cuff, tongue-in-cheek comment by Rob that pissed them off. Exit MGM, enter Lion's Gate (or Artisan or Anchor Bay...I can never remember which). Three years after it was finished, the movie was released.

For me it was less the hype that killed it, and more the fact that there were no scenes that I DIDN'T think "Saw that in..." I loved Sheri Moon Zombie's song and dance number, and I didn't hate the movie. I was just bored by it. From what I've heard and read, Devil's Rejects is less of a straight horror flick and more of a dark, brutal, on-the-run/road trip movie. I want to see it, but I'll wait for the reviews...
