What to Know

Critics Consensus

31 delivers all the high-energy gore Rob Zombie fans have come to expect, but a lack of fresh ideas and likable characters mean only the already converted need apply.

3/4
Zombie may not be working outside of his comfort zone, but 31 is one of his most impressive films to date. Go to Full Review
Keith Uhlich Brooklyn Magazine Oct 21, 2016
Horror piles on horror, absurdity on absurdity, all of it treated by Zombie with carnivalesque abstraction. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Oct 20, 2016
The Rob Zombie brand promises hard-core horror and scuzzy atmosphere, and "31" delivers just that. Even on autopilot, Zombie makes movies that hit hard and leave a stain. Go to Full Review

1/5
Coming off the hypnotic, stylish, and divisive Lords of Salem, 31 is the absolute opposite end of the spectrum, making something visually and narratively abrasive and irritating. Go to Full Review

Zombie forces his corny instincts into every line of dialogue, disconnecting the viewer from the experience on any relatable, emotional level. Go to Full Review

George S Jan 3, 2019 Like a 70s fun house that's filled with the worst psycho killers you could think up. And all a game being played by some old white people to see if any of the folks entering the fun house can survive. Rob Zombie for sure.... See more
Rey R Dec 18, 2018 I Liked the costumes and the acting but parts were kind boring
Oct 31, 2018 Full of clichés but worse, don't even give a try just walk away from this film
Theodore S Oct 23, 2018 Rob Zombie logra crear una historia bien construida pero sin real contenido y es que 31 tiene todo lo que conocemos de su filmografia pero por mucho no tiene nada que contar realmente interesante, sus actuaciones son muy interesante y su estetica es bastante aceptable, mas alla no cuenta nada que sea interesante.

Oct 7, 2018 My new favorite rob zombie film
George M Jul 29, 2018 "31" has all the elements of a gore-fest classic: great direction from veteran of the genre, Rob Zombie; the most solid performance from Richard Brake in his entire career; a script full of low-budget gags that are executed expertly to reveal maximum carnage without looking comically bad. The film has all of the elements of an epic horror film but somehow misses the mark. The script includes the requisite sexual innuendos, foul language and gritty atmosphere that we have come to expect from the Zombie brand. It isn't until the halfway mark, however, that "31" starts the buy-in from the audience. The small band of unsympathetic carnival workers are wholly disposable throughout the first act. When we see the characters show empathy for others we begin to see their humanity and root for their survival. The industrial/circus settings couple well with gonzo-style camera work to throw viewers off balance. Much can be forgiven of "31" by fans of gore. The groan-inducing one-liners of the killers are just clever enough that they could be uttered by some emo-teen-gone-wrong; the carelessness of some of the characters during the kill scenes also lends credence to some sticky plot points - namely, how such a group of psychopaths could have found each other at all. Overall, "31" delivers as promised despite a less-than-epic script. It could have been more, but in the end, it's not too bad at all. A true cult classic. See more
