There's really nothing special about him except for the amount of time he gets on screen. The movie takes its time building up 'Doomhead' but what is he but another loudmouthed guy in a clown suit? I assume he'd go down just as easily to a well-aimed blow to the head. There's little or no suspense, barely any atmosphere outside of the clowns' initial entrances and Malcolm McDowall's nonsensical prattling. Instead, we get some badly filmed fight scenes and routine kills that could be out of any war/crime/fantasy film. Oh sure, Its clown's show up and promise all sorts of vile entertainments. It didn't ever come close to crossing any lines of standardized horror. Unfortunately, 31 let all the air out of that balloon dog for me. Zombie's characters will survive to the final frame). I never feel safe in his movies (except I'm pretty sure Mrs. One thing I've generally liked with Zombie's movies is that, unlike a lot of horror films such as Hostel - which promise all sorts of transgressive horrors only to bait and switch with some relatively tame eyeball gouging, Zombie's movies generally follow through on their threats. None of them are perfect but none of them are boring, all of them bring something interesting to the table. except for it being a Rob Zombie movie and my enjoyment of all his other movies so far. I had no anticipation or information about this movie going in.
