What to Know

Critics Consensus

31 delivers all the high-energy gore Rob Zombie fans have come to expect, but a lack of fresh ideas and likable characters mean only the already converted need apply.

3/4
Zombie may not be working outside of his comfort zone, but 31 is one of his most impressive films to date. Go to Full Review Keith Uhlich Brooklyn Magazine Oct 21, 2016
Horror piles on horror, absurdity on absurdity, all of it treated by Zombie with carnivalesque abstraction. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Oct 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. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh May 12, 2023
1/5
Coming off the hypnotic, stylish, and divisive Lords of Salem, 31 is the absolute opposite end of the spectrum, making something visually and narratively abrasive and irritating. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Apr 11, 2022
1/4
Zombie forces his corny instincts into every line of dialogue, disconnecting the viewer from the experience on any relatable, emotional level. Go to Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts Apr 29, 2021

See more Dominick C @domcipp252525 Sep 7, 2026 Great movie, some of the characters are awesome See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 3, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Riru K. @Riru_Kawaii May 31, 2026 Aesthetically interesting but that's about it. See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Feb 9, 2026 Such a wild ride! Easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time! See more Married2ThePlot P. @marriedtotheplot Feb 1, 2026 This feels like Rob Zombie on autopilot. The concept of wealthy elites watching people suffer should have carried some bite, but it lands flat and never digs deeper than surface-level shock. The villains, especially the caricatures, feel gratuitous rather than provocative, adding noise instead of tension. There’s little to no character development, which makes it hard to care who survives and who doesn’t. What’s left is a familiar grindhouse aesthetic, loud, grimy, and nihilistic, but without anything new to say. See more Read all reviews
