Review of 31 (2016) by Tyler S — 09 Oct 2016

This movie isn't for everyone, but then again neither are most Rob Zombie films. Like Tarantino, Rob Zombie has a specific style he brings to all of his movies, and 31 is no different. I've enjoyed many of Zombie's films (House of 1000 Corpses, Devil's Rejects, Halloween remake) and while they're not perfect, they're entertaining.

I like the concept of the movie (very Chainsaw Massacre-esque), and adding in a common fear of clowns is both unnerving and uniquely entertaining. I will say I expected more memorable characters. None of the villains outside Doom-Head (which I'll come back to), are particularly memorable.

Neither are any of the heroes. I think Sherri Moon did well with what she was given, but she doesn't do anything drastically different from her previous performances. The highlight of this movie is Richard Brake as Doom-Head.

His opening monologue was fantastic, his character is great, and the only negative thing I can say is I wish I had more. Overall, 31 is a good film, but the Zombie fans will enjoy it more than the rest.
