Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

surrealsanguine I've always enjoyed Rob Zombie films for the unique perspective he brings to the screen. He's not good at plot but he usually does good character development and can evoke a lot of emotion in the viewer. This film was a serious disappointment. There are plot holes you can drive a truck through. It didn't make any sense at all once you start to dig into it. Thearacters are fairly uninteresting and it really felt like Zombie was just phoning it in. The dialogue and horror relied strongly on over used tropes, there was little imagination. The most interesting characters were barely developed. The whole film was a serious disappointment compared to his other works. Zombie said he was going to release a directors cut with extra scenes.... Still waiting for that to see if its any better.

Darktragedy I've seen this twice, and I do like Rob Zombie movies, so I'm a little biased. I love the characters. Doom Head is creepy, calculating and just messed up enough to enjoy. The other characters that come into the game are there long enough to just get a taste of what they are like, and that's long enough to leave you wanting more of them.The gore is there, the action, the wonky characters. I thought the movie had a great pace to it. I would watch it again, just because there are so many bad movies out right now, I know this would entertain me again. If you liked Devil's Rejects or House of 1,000 Corpses, this is for you. If you haven't seen those, this might be a little too much, go back and start with House of 1, 000 Corpses. Overall, thumbs up, can't wait for 3 From Hell!

D Rahul Raj Jsd A movie I've been waiting and wanting for ages, written and directed by a brave master of horror and cinema, My Hero Mr. Rob Zombie. It's up there with my other favorite films of his which are, "House of 1000 Corpses", "The Devil's Rejects", "Halloween II", and "The Lords of Salem". An old school 70's solid grind-house horror with a simple plot, which is made in the style of the master himself, with its vibes from "House Of 1000 Corpses" and more of "The Devil's Rejects", combined in one extremely epic way. It takes place back in year 1976 and it's about a group of carnival workers who get kidnapped on Halloween night. They're thrown into an abandoned warehouse, and forced to play a game called 31, defending themselves against a bunch of psychotic killers dressed up as clowns for 12 hours, and their only chance for survival is to kill or get killed. It's an insanely intense bloody carnival ride of a feature that will leave you with nonstop shocking scenes of murder, mayhem, madness, vulgarity, lots of dark humor, and it's all very well executed in a completely hectic and energetic mode which is bold, brilliant, and just a whole lot of fun. The makeup effects are fantastic and the fight scenes are really brutal, along with just about everything in this film. It's all very realistic, and if you actually pay attention, it feels like you're in the movie yourself. You've got a league of massive icons, major veterans, and newcomers bringing these amazing characters to life. The awesome score has it's vibes from classic 70s and 80s horror scores, and as always, from a Rob Zombie film, the soundtrack is filled with super golden oldies.As a horror fan, I'm always rooting for the villains, but in this feature, the good characters are bad-asses, too, and it's really a tough choice for me to root for sides. Sheri Moon Zombie's performance as Charley is extremely impressive. At first her character is weak and girlish, but as she fights from one level to another for survival with her team of carnies, she gains more resiliency and transforms into more of a warrior. The Iconic Meg Foster as Venus is the toughest and wisest of them all; believe it or not, you'll get to see her wielding a chainsaw against a maniac, and she really looks great for her age, too. I really loved Roscoe, played by Jeff Daniel Phillips, who's more of a bad-ass in the entire team of carnies; he's a fighter and he never quits. EG Daily's character as Sexhead is the hottest + craziest killer clown you will ever see, with her sweet voice and her jaw dropping looks will definitely thrill the audience. I would definitely love to see a movie mainly about E.G.'s character. Another interesting character who's movie I would love to see is... the sickest and scariest character of them all, who starts off the movie with his mind-blowing speech and later on steals the entire show. This man may look like a clown, with his grease painted makeup; but trust me, folks, this chaotic individual ain't no clown, and he definitely ain't no Joker clowning around from the Batman Universe; he ain't playing around when it comes to his job. A new face of horror which is truly iconic is finally here and he is known as Doomhead, played by Richard Brake, who's performance is extremely phenomenal. I believe Richard badly needs an Oscar for his role as Doomhead, the greatest performance I've ever seen in a long time.I've been wondering why there are bad reviews for a movie like this. Well, I guess the audience nowadays are mostly into horror films in the mainstream world which are being too friendly with PG13 ratings and CGI effects or whatever. I, on the other hand, will never waste my time doing negative reviews, because I know everything isn't easy to do in life and not everyone on the planet has the same taste for everything. Some of the audience were expecting it to be more gory, but they forget that it's because of the MPAA, why we never really get to see the NC17 version of "31". I really hope the uncut version will be available on home video someday, though I'm still happy that at least we got to see this Rated R version of "31". I've been a fan of Rob Zombie's movies since I was a kid and this man has never disappointed me in any of his works and till this very day, he's always passionate for the horror genre. He's not doing it for the fame or making number 1 movies at the box office; he's actually doing it for his fans, and I'm proud to say that I'm one of them. When I saw "31" for the very first time, I was just blown away from start to finish as it was so good, I had to watch it over and over again. It's kinda strange, too, because whenever I watch it, I feel there's a lot of positive and inspirational messages I get from this movie, and there's a really powerful message at the ending which is pretty similar to "The Devil's Rejects" and it's one of the best endings I've ever seen in a long time.

Stephen Abell If it hadn't been for The House Of A 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto then I would not have watched this movie, especially after what Rob Zombie did to the Halloween movies. Unfortunately, this is not as good as his earlier works.This is just another load of people who are captured, tortured, and killed for pleasure. What Zombie adds to the story is a triumvirate of puppet masters - Father Murder (Malcolm McDowell), Sister Serpent (Jane Carr), and Sister Dragon (Judy Geeson) - who run The Murderworld where they run a torturous gauntlet of games. The triumvirate gives their prisoners twelve hours to survive the trials they have arranged for them. Each trial is to survive the psychopaths they send in dressed as clowns.However, most of this doesn't work. My heart started to sink when the group of carnies are talking about the rides and attractions that they run, though their RV isn't towing anything and there's no lorry travelling with them. Then you learn they're travelling with a fair, yet again there are no other vehicles. It's these little things which annoy, and there are quite a few throughout the film. For such an unoriginal story ironing out ALL the kinks would have made it stronger.As for the direction, it's pretty standard stuff though Zombie does try to add a little art to the affair by working in vivid colours. This isn't fully utilised due to the average camera work. There's also an alarming lack of suspense and tension, which a film of this type really requires. That said there are a couple of nice scenes with Richard Brake, who plays Doom-Head, where the close ups are so sharp and crisp. This brilliantly captures his Brake's magnificent rendition of his psychopath character. To be honest, it's Brake that steals this film. This actor should be used more often, he has some serious skills. As for the rest of the cast, they are okay, none of them particularly stands out. I would've liked more details in both the story and characterisations of the triumvirate as this was a missed opportunity to add a spooky and eerie element. Also the other clowns - heads - aren't anywhere nearly as disturbing or sinister as Brake's Doom-Head. The brothers Schizo and Psych-Head, played by David Ury and Lew Temple, are your routine slashers, complete with chainsaws. Though it's Sick-Head which lets the film down. This is not due to Pancho Moler playing the part, on the contrary, his acting is pretty solid. It's down to Zombie dressing him as a Hitleresque character - complete with swastikas and moustache. I'm sorry but I think if anybody was confronted by him they would probably die laughing.Then there's the name of the movie... 31. This actually references Halloween and is another missed chance to tie the games into Samhain or another "Dark" holiday, which would have made the story stronger.This is an average film which has a few small drawbacks and a couple of benefits that levels the film to average, once again. If you're a Rob Zombie fan then you may like this. If it's cold and wet outside you could turn off the lights and settle back with this slasher flick, it's worth at least one viewing.
