Very well executed

Awesome Movie

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

I watched this when it came out and found it too long and actually, kinda dull. Then I recently re-watched it and felt the same way. Since Zombie never "starts normal," all his characters are the most foul-mouthed, low-life people you'd ever meet. Then they meet others worse then them. The odd thing is the three characters dressed up in aristocratic clothes--they are never explained and their backstory would have been interesting to know. The killers are pretty dull--a Nazi little person, some chainsaw guys. I mean, nothing original and everyone pretty much leers at the camera. I think LORDS OF SALEM was his best felt--a great look to it, a somewhat original idea, but 31 is just a tired retread. Since his movies don't make any money at the box office, he crowdfunded this--and it didn't make any money, either. But he said that because he crowdfunded it, he could make the movie he wanted with no studio interference. Well, he did, and it's a dull mess.

As an adamant horror movie fan, I happened upon this movie, thinking it would be just another cliche survival horror films. Instead, I found one of the most disgusting films I've ever seen, one that I couldn't even stomach finishing. I don't tend to be bothered by gore or vulgarity, but this film took everything to another level. The characters were uninteresting and poorly developed, even by horror standards. Combined with poor acting and even worse dialogue, the film was a complete mess. and unbearable to watch. There were whole scenes in this movie that could have been taken out, being placed in to have no other purpose but shock value.I wasn't expecting the best of the best here, but I was so bothered by this film that I actually needed to write a review to tell others just how awful it was. I couldn't imagine what Rob Zombie was thinking when making this and quite frankly I don't know what I was thinking when I picked this film to watch.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS!!!

....if Rob Zombie promises to never make another movie. You kind of assume that after a few years of doing anything, you would get better at it. Zombie has regressed. Or simply gotten lazy. No matter, this thing was awful. I won't bother to analyze specifics here, but the man should go back to music and leave moviemaking to the talentless amateurs of the world....cuz they make better flicks.
