Review of Planet Terror (2007) by Jordan J — 09 Jan 2012

Planet Terror is a riot, just over 100 minutes of gloopy, gory fun made as a homage to horror's cheap and nasty heyday. Accept that and it's hard to imagine most genre fans not having a good time with it.

Some of it's uneven (it peaks too early and runs a touch out of steam), and not all the "star" castings work, while it's certainly lacking the more cranial leanings of Death Proof. But for apocalyptic mayhem and sheer OTT outrageousness, one needs to look no further than this.
