Rob Zombie’s 31 arrives in the U.S. on VOD platforms September 16 and in limited theaters October 21, while we’ve just learned that UK readers can rent it on VOD September 23.
We now have the UK trailer for the Halloween-themed slasher starring Sheri Moon Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween), Malcolm McDowell (“Mozart in the Jungle”, A Clockwork Orange), Jeff Daniel Phillips (The Lords of Salem) and Meg Foster (The Lords of Salem).
We reviewed 31 out of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where Fred Topel writes:
“’31’ is Rob Zombie’s ‘The Running Man’ and it works…It’s fast-paced, violent and fun.
“It is a harrowing ordeal and you know that anyone who even survives will be traumatized for life. It’s not hard to get behind a desperate fight for your life. Set on Halloween 1976, a classic rock soundtrack propels a lot of the violence. It seems Zombie found the sweet spot between his punishing aesthetic and letting the audience have a rewarding catharsis by the end.”
In the film, five carnival workers are kidnapped and held hostage in an abandoned, Hell-like compound where they are forced to participate in a violent game, the goal of which is to survive twelve hours against a gang of sadistic clowns.
