Review of Grindhouse (2007) by Stuart K — 10 Aug 2010
Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino bring back raw exploitation cinema with a double-bill, and a great cinema experience to boot. First up, is Planet Terror, which has a group of murderous, infected zombie people called "sickos" invading a small town.
Now, it's up to Cherry (Rose McGowan), a woman with a gun for a leg, and partner Wray (Freddy Rodriguez), to take on the zombies!! Then, it's Death Proof, about a slasher stuntman named Stuntman Mike, (played by Kurt Russell), who stalks and kills beautiful women with his car, which is 'death proof' But, he eventually gets a taste of his own medicine, when one group of women get their revenge on him.
It's a great cinema experience, just a pity hardly anyone went to see it originally, Planet Terror is the all-out action film, which Death Proof is a slow-burning character piece-come-slasher film.
To add to the authenticity, it also includes fake trailers from Rob Zombie, Eli Roth and Edgar Wright!! Try and catch this one if you can!! :D.
