GRINDHOUSE

Bringing back the grind house experience that was so well known in the late 60s and early 70s with all sorts of politically incorrect themes such as Black exploitation, Sex exploitation, Shock exploitation, Cannibal films, Zombie films, Slasher films, and much more.

Interlaced with trailers for other movies in between them, Grind House was such a movie experience. Not a lot of people cared for Quentin Tarantino’s film Death Proof due to it’s dialogue but if they would have reversed the order of which they showed the films I am sure the critics and crowd would have liked it more.

Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror was shown first and was an in your face, fast paced, sci-fi, horror, action flick with lots of laughs, gore, and fun. In between we got to see fake trailers directed by greats like Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Robert Rodriguez himself.

After the trailers Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof played and it was just as great. Some of the best car chase sequences and action. And not to forget the death scene that just won an award for Most Memorable Mutilation at the Scream 2007 Awards. This movie is definitely the best horror flick of 2007!
