Not only that but I really felt that QT captured the low budget feel of those 70's grindhouse films beautifully. Often times a movie would be filled with dialogue simply because the budget was spent on two or three big action scenes and there had to be more to the movie so long stretches of conversation and cheap plot developing scenes that some may consider "boring" were added to movies like that.
I liked both Ho1kC and DR and felt both were homages to different horror sub-genres. I was however disappointed that in DR, Zombie played out a scene so close to a scene in Last House on the Left that it felt lifted. Only one scene (that felt truly plagiarized), but it bugged me a little, not enough to make me hate the film but just enough to make me appreciate it a bit less.
