Tonight's Movie: 31 (2016)



I've been looking forward to this one for a while and I was not disappointed.

In this film a group of carnival workers get abducted on Halloween and are forced to participate in a 12-hour game of survival. This game, know as '31', involves the group being hunted down by vicious murderers that are dressed as clowns. The easy to follow plot and enjoyable characters make it a pretty fun movie.

If you've ever wondered what a cross between a Rob Zombie film and 'The Running Man' would look like then this is the movie for you.

There were a couple of performances that stand out for one reason or another: 
Sheri MoonZombie is always good in Rob Zombie's movies and this one is no different. 
Malcolm McDowell has a small part in the film and I would've liked to see more of his character.
But the most interesting characters in the film are the clowns, Richard Brake as Doom-Head, Pancho Moler as Sick-Head, Lew Temple as Psycho-Head, David Ury as Schizo-Head, E.G. Daily as Sex-Head, and Torsten Vogas as Death-Head.

Overall, you're mostly going to get what you'd expect from a typical Rob Zombie film; a blend of gore, sex, foul language, and humor. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you generally enjoy his films then you'll probably have a good time with this one.

This one is a solid 3.5 out of 5
