31
While laboured metal star Rob Zombie ’s career as a film director has n’t been without its ups and down feather , the gentleman’s gentleman retain a ferociously loyal fanbase that continues to look forward to any unexampled horror project he sees set to put out there for usance . That really is n’t too surprising , all thing consider , as whether one do it or hates Zombie ’s workplace , it ’s hard to deny that he imbue his movies with an old - school hardcore trend and often overtly sleazy presentation that ’s quite unlike any other musical genre director active today .
caseful in pointedness is Zombie ’s late gore fest , which is titledRob Zombie ’s 31.The first trailer for the film has arrive , and it count like its characters are in for quite a blood bath .
The plot for31- like most of Zombie ’s films - is pretty dewy-eyed , although it could be argued that simplicity is often an plus when bring in a repugnance picture . Five funfair worker are abducted on the night before Halloween ( a.k.a " Devil ’s Night " ) and taken to a heavy remote compound . Once there , the unwilling guests are ram to enter in a sorting of macabre secret plan for the twisted entertainment of those who launch the place . The objective lens is brutally aboveboard : subsist a 12 - hour period of what fundamentally amount to diabolical torment , and go gratuitous . Do n’t endure , and , well … it ’s toilsome to get higher on the punishment scale than a sore decease at the hand of a lunatic .
As is usual for Zombie , much of the star roam of31is comprised of folks he ’s worked with on previous films , with his married woman Sheri Moon Zombie head the direction - although this clock time in essentially the reverse gear of her sadistic psychopath quality Baby Firefly fromHouse of 1,000 CorpsesandThe Devil ’s reject . On the villainous side of the returning drift fence is genre caption Malcolm McDowell , playing a character with the decidedly unsubtle sobriquet of Father Murder . McDowell is still probably considerably known to take buffs for playing Alex in the Stanley Kubrick classicA Clockwork Orange , but in recent long time he ’s perhaps become more recognizable to horror fans for his crook as Dr. Sam Loomis in Zombie ’s divisiveHalloweenremake and its sequel .
It ’s been over a decade since Rob Zombie directed a film that earn near solid hand clapping from the horror fan community of interests - that being 2005’sThe Devil ’s Rejects- and it ’ll be interesting to see if31finally sees the iconoclastic filmmaker break his late bar of " love it or hate it " projects . If nothing else though , moviegoers who bang gory make - up effects and insurgent insanity look to have much to relish this coming Halloween time of year , and Zombie ’s remain loyalist will probably be as proud of with his termination as ever .
