31 is a horror show delivered in hammer blows, or 'Whitechapel-style'. You either dig it or you don't. Read full review

A surprisingly effective new horror flick. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayOct 20, 2016
The Rob Zombie brand promises hard-core horror and scuzzy atmosphere, and “31” delivers just that. Even on autopilot, Zombie makes movies that hit hard and leave a stain. Read full review

A cinematic Jägerbomb: definitely not good for you, but gets the job done. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenOct 19, 2016
It collapses into repetition and unintended self-parody, as it's devoid of the subtext and empathetic audacity. Read full review

Rob Zombie can do better than 31. For proof, just watch any other Rob Zombie movie. Read full review

Awash in blood and revoltingly misogynistic dialogue, this latest redneck ruckus (his seventh feature) is a grindhouse slog of unrelenting bad taste. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoSep 24, 2016
There’s not a single character worth caring about, and even less artistic licence to appreciate. This is a dirty, depraved love-letter to horror that’s written in a bunch of different colored crayons to mask such simple words with distracting colors. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyJun 17, 2016
Rob Zombie truly loves horror movies. But he still hasn’t made a good one, and “31” is a perfect encapsulation of the reasons why: It’s a fanboy’s highlight reel of homages, without any of the credibility or context that made most of the films he’s inspired by so fine. Read full review

The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd Oct 19, 2016
Zombie’s new movie, 31, is all attitude. It’s also the worst thing he’s ever made—interminable, incoherent, and devoid of suspense. Read full review

Screen InternationalKim NewmanJun 17, 2016
Zombie’s filmmaking career began with inventive pop videos for his band White Zombie and he can still frame an interesting shot or layer in an unusual and affecting snatch of music, but after six features he still can’t come up with a fresh story, write characters with more depth than their make-up or direct stalking scenes that are suspenseful or moments of gory violence that are shocking.

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJun 17, 2016
There's not a scary moment in the movie, and its characters are neither likable enough to root for nor so repulsive we eagerly await their deaths. Read full review

Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanJun 17, 2016
It’s an unnecessary, monotonous, 102-minute scrapbook of better horror films that fails to muster even a spark of originality. Read full review
