Directed by Rob Zombie
Driving through the Southwest on Halloween night, Charly (Sheri Moon Zombie) and her carny crew are attacked and brought to a factory where evil aristocrat Malcolm McDowell announces they’ll be hunted by a series of killer clowns, including the unstoppable Doom-Head (brilliant bad guy Richard Brake, aka the Night King on “Game of Thrones”). The deathmatch set-up has been a horror-fantasy staple from 1932's THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME to THE HUNGER GAMES, but in Rob Zombie’s blood-soaked hands, the subgenre naturally receives its most unrelentingly gruesome interpretation. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.
A tough band of carnies are forced to play a gruesome game of kill-or-be-killed on Halloween night.
Cast: Sheri Moon Zombie, Meg Foster, Richard Brake, Lew Temple, Malcolm McDowell

The least plot and least character development of any Zombie film, which is saying something. Not even any “creative kills” if that’s what you’re looking for. Everything either too dark to see or strobe lights. No witty banter, dialogue is just like 70% “fuckin’.” The entire film is like an assault on your eyes and ears. If Zombie could have made the move scratch and sniff I’m sure it would have smelled terrible too.Ugh.
Richard Brake
Robert Brake gets the one star
I love every Zombie movie. Except this one. I give it two stars because doom head saves it a TINY bit.
The three skulls are an average: the first five minutes--which is the best part of the movie--and every time Richard Brake is on screen are 5 skulls; the rest is the movie is about 1.5. Rob Zombie could really redeem himself by giving Doomhead his own movie...preferably an origin story. Tired of seeing a perfectly good Richard Brake always being the best thing in a movie and the least seen. Give this man a worthy film and a starring role, somebody.
