I am a huge fan of Zombie’s previous films, and also a great defender of them. There’s a great soundtrack, wildly demented villains, plenty of gore and sick jokes, and those great retro-grindhouse filmmaking techniques that Zombie so famously employees. Held by a trio of powdered-wigged aristocrats (the leader-Father Napoleon-Horatio-Silas Murder-played by Malcom McDowell) they are forced to play a game called 31, the point of which is to survive twelve hours in an industrial labyrinth while being pursued by a group of murderous clowns. This winter the film was released on DVD with very little fanfare.ģ1 takes place in 1976 and tells the story of a van full of carnies who are kidnapped on Halloween.

Theatre release was extremely limited and reviewers have not been kind. Twice the MPAA refused to grant an R rating, forcing the film to be edited down three separate times. Crowdfunded twice by, the budget was only a miniscule 1.5 million, a fraction of what he had to make his first four films. It was May 2014 when Rob Zombie first announced his plans to make 31, and the past couple years have been a rocky road for the film.
