Review of 31 (2016) by Ricky G — 02 Sep 2016
I totally forgot that 31 was even being made, little did I even know that it was being released this year. Luckily my girlfriend saw that they were playing it one night only and of course as horror fans were gonna go see it and we did and we liked it.
I've never been a big fan of Rob Zombies movies, I liked Devils Rejects to a certain degree but was really over hyped for me. Though I've never seen Lords Of Salam, I really want to. 31 is a simple premise 5 friends get stuck in this ware house and they're being hunted down wave wave by wave of different clown killers.
The cons of this movie are simple, shaky cam for a lot of this movie especially in the beginning clown wave, there was a fight seen where you couldn't tell what was going on and it give us a headache.
Some of the dialogue is cheesy at time, some of the actors I couldn't take seriously when they said their lines. There is also a scene where you go though flashing lights and sometimes that is very effective and if you do it quick it works.
Zombie goes on this for about 5 minutes and it hurts your eyes so bad that you can't look at the screen. The pros this movie is fun, quick, bloody (even though I wanted more blood) and just balls out crazy.
Like I said this is a simple movie with simple characters and a simple premise but man it's the most fun I've had watching a Rob Zombie film ever. Richard Blake was the standout in this movie as Doom-Head this guy was absolutely fantastic I've never seen him act before but this guy is terrifying, honestly if anyone should play the Joker in a DC movie let this guy star as him.
At the end he gives this amazing smile that just screamed Joker. This is Rob Zombies best movie, I don't usually like his movies but I believe in the guy and I know he's passionate about his movies so I support him.
Go see this movie if you love horror movies, it's nothing special but it's fun.
