Rob Zombie’s 31 is having a one night only extravaganza on September 1st before arriving on VOD platforms September 16 and in limited theaters October 21.
We now have a new clip from 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).
The footage shows Richard Brake’s Doom-Head putting on his make-up in preparation for the hunt, and presumable kill.
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.
