Let's be realistic.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Blistering performances.
Thoughtless red-neckish main characters, strangely written, it feels like a very random free movie, it feels like a script that would of never been approved due to a lack of proper structure and I enjoyed that a lot. I have heard so much hate for this movie so maybe my expectations were low, even then, I don't understand the hate for a film that isn't even trying to be more than one more slasher in the genre, it was kinda of gory but not too much to be grossed out, it was a very balanced meal. The concept was great but I expected 31 killers sent out at the same time so the fact that they go 1 by 1 and that they are only 6 was underwhelming, but then again, I think he saved it with style, the ending is a beauty, not as a huge beauty as The Devil Reject's Freebird, but, a pretty soft unpretentious, chill, great ending that made me feel the greatness of slashers and the beauty of the last character alive. Poetry.
The movie was very good and entertaining I love the whole murder world plot. Rob zombie once again has done something brilliant to entertain his fan base. As always on this dreadful site a lot of dreadful people crying that the movie was very horrible just proves to you that the population is garbage seriously though why do stupid people still watch something if they hate it it just a bunch of lousy no good turds that all. Ignore those unworthy aholes and watch the film
This movie is pointless. That is the definite word to describe this.. I don't even know what to call this, "movie from hell and NOT in a good way." As long as I ca remember, I've been a massive Zombie fan. House of 1000 Corpses, the remake of Halloween, Salem's Lot.. along side his talented, amazing wife Sheri Moon he has done some awesome horror movies. This one however, apart from the monologue of Doom-Head in the beginning, felt like it was just a joke. The plot being from a generic horror movie and that DAMN SHAKY CAM defining every fight scene I felt like I'm going to give up. The killers were ridiculous and the ending just didn't make any sense to me. I don't know if poor Mr. Zombie has dementia or what but he needs to wise up and return to the good stuff. I gave a extra point for the movie being a Rob Zombie movie, and another for Sheri Moon, 'cos I freaking adore her, so that makes 3/10. Shame, shame, shame.
There are a lot of negative reviews for this film; it may be because it is quite different from Zombie's normal formula which he basically turns on it's head.A group of carnival workers are en route travelling in a van; they come across some strange scarecrows blocking their path and stop to tear them down. They get ambushed, violently attacked, kidnapped and dumped in a deserted factory. A peculiar group of posh old people tell the carni's that they are there to play a game - the game of 31 which occurs once a year. They have 12 hours to survive and win the game. Amongst them in the factory are numerous psycho killers that are there to viciously kill them all.I enjoyed this movie, it's very 70's stylised in the way it is filmed, the costumes and scenery. The characters are great, typical of Rob Zombies usual pattern. I was really pleased to see Sherri Moon Zombie and Meg Foster there. The baddies are fantastic, I love them, all vicious, crazy and quirky. The settings, colours, camera- work and imagery are very individual to Zombie's style. It is a festival for the eyes. There are a lot of close up shots in this movie that some people don't like but I found it new and something different.This film is extremely violent and gory, full on graphic blood and guts. There are a lot of cringe moments. The special effects are amazing.The actors in this film are superb, the whole cast are believable, likable and give their all. Richard Brake is outstanding and will no doubt have a cult following for his portrayal of Doom-head.I would personally recommend this movie, if you're an avid horror fan it's a must to add to your list.
