31 is just awful trash. No effort. Richard Brake only good thing.

It's like Rob Zombie wrote the script for 31 in an hour. He put very little effort into it.

The whole movie is just cheap gore, repeated F words just for the sake of swearing, and uninspired characters. There's no likeable protagonists.

Literally, parts of the movie are *beep* you! "No! *beep* you!" to fill up time. Really, Rob? That's the best you could come up with.

Save your money. Don't rent this. Save yourself the 2 hours of watching this that you'll never get back. It's just sleazy trash. At least, The Devil's Rejects had a sense of creativity and interesting characters.

The only good thing about this film is Richard Brake's performance and he's barely in the movie.

I have to agree.

A sorry excuse of a story with almost no setup whatsoever, unlikable characters I didn't care about in the slightest, a lot of bad language and extreme violence just for the sake of having lots of bad language and extreme violence on screen - by far the worst RZ movie I've seen so far (besides 'House of 1000 Corpses', 'The Devil's Rejects' and 'Halloween I+II'). Then again, I think all of them ranged somewhere between average and below average, so it's not like I had high hopes for this one to begin with, yet ended up being disappointed, lol.

2 out of 10 from me.

And I agree, nobody can play sleazy like Richard Brake; not sure if that's a compliment though...

Who are they? And what do they want?

It's just terrible in every way, I agree. However every criticism you have could be said of every RZ movie honestly. They've all been lazy and derivative trash - they somehow do seem to be getting worse though - which I didn't think was possible.

All of his movies follow the same formula: take an old/cliche plot, have your wife star in it, add some F words that add nothing, make it look white trash/dirty, add some blood and quick edits, then call it a day. None of his movies have been good, and it's nice to see people finally catching on.
