Grindhouse (2007)

Despite Tarantino's sub-par effort on Death Proof, there was still enough in his half (like the car-chase & the first "car-killing" by the "car-killer") that added to the much superior first half, Planet Terror, a zombie-fest by Robert Rodriguez. And while the shlock that comes with most zombie flicks usually puts me off, Robert Rodriguez's style of depicting his half of The Grindhouse as a caricature of a genre that has already gone cartoonishly over the top, makes this a walking undead gore-a-rama that I could not only stomach, but enjoy as well. Coupled with a modern sense of violence that we've all mindlessly grown to love, it's a zombie action flick of an energetic quality that sparked some life into my usually dead reaction to most shambling corpse fare. So, if you're into chicks ...Read more

Alright well when i 1st watched Death Proof god i was thinkin dude this is awesome. The girl that got left behind i kept tryin to think of where i saw her from. Then i remembered that she's from Final Destination 3. It was an awesome movie so if she was in this movie it had to b good.Ha i was right. I highly recommend this to all those action movie type of people. Then there was Planet Terror. God! That's a good movie. I love watching scary movies so nothing really suprises me but this gave me goosebumps. It was amazing. Dude it so great. I give it 4 stars!!!!!!!!

''Ladies, we're gonna have some fun.'' Two full length feature horror movies written by Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez put together as a two film feature. Including fake movie trailers in between both movies. Rose McGowan: Cherry Darling (Planet Terror) Kurt Russel: Stuntman Mike (Death Proof) Absolutely a blast from end to finish. Such a brilliant soundtrack and old style feel to it as intended by QT and RR. The joint film revolves around one plot about some hot looking young girls and a mysterious guy who seems to stalk said girls. We find out hes Stuntman Mike (magnificently played by Kurt Russell). The other a zombie infested virus movie which has shoot outs and over the top gore galore. What i like about this double feature is all Quentin's and Rob...Read more

The sleaze-filled saga of an exploitation double feature. Robert Rodriguez's and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse is a crazily funny, campy, exciting tribute to the grimy glory days of 1970s exploitation cinema. The concept is simply a stroke of pure genius - merge two intentionally shitty 1970s-style horror B-movies into one double feature, and then add a reel of hysterical fake trailers for added authenticity. In the 70s, the local "grindhouse" was the place one headed to see flicks you couldn't see anywhere else. Most of the time this was because they were so awful no-one else wanted to play them. It was also because they existed on the border of respectable society as they showcased overzealous violence, sex, explicit nudity, as well as berserk experimental ideas and themes. With G...Read more

I haven't had this much fun in a theater in years before seeing this film. Two movies at three hours long absolutely flew by. If you like Tarantino's and Rodriguez's previous films then you won't be disappointed; similar style and content to their previous masterpieces.

Grindhouse is extraordinary. Yes, you heard me... extraordinary. It happens to be one of the best and well put together films of the past few years. I've heard nothing but rave reviews for it and I can now understand why. If you're thinking about going to see this and feel kind of iffy because it looks too corny, I'm telling you now that you're missing something spectacular. You have to take this film for what it is. It's meant to be corny and ridiculously hilarious. The thing I love about this film is that it is well aware of it's own genre. Film masters Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have teamed up to make on of the most memorable movies I have ever seen. During the movie (which is 191 minutes), I decided that I would take notes on what I did and didn't like. I know that sound...Read more

Go see this if you want to have FUN at the movies- plain and simple. Neither film is a masterpiece, and neither takes itself too seriously: Planet Terror is over-the-top zombie action and Death Proof is typical Tarantino fare- fast and profane dialogue, a stuntman with bloodlust and an unexpected plot turn in the second half. The fake movie trailers interspersed are entertaining as well and the whole package has a really unique feel to it that makes it more than a regular trip to the movies. Definitely worth watching if you want to be purely entertained for 3+ hours.
