Grindhouse

'A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers\' favorite exploitation films. \"Grindhouse\" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for \"grinding out\" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. \"Death Proof,\" is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while \"Planet Terror\" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the \'50s exploitation drive-in classics.'

Grindhouse is a 2007 American high concept action film co-written, produced, and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The film is a double feature consisting of two feature-length segments, the Rodriguez-directed Planet Terror and Tarantino-directed Death Proof, and bookended by fictional trailers for upcoming attractions, advertisements, and in-theater announcements. The film's title derives from the U.S. film industry term "grindhouse", which refers to (now no longer existent) movie theaters specializing in B movies, often exploitation films, shown in a multiple-feature format. The film's cast includes Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael Biehn, Marley Shelton, Josh Brolin, Jeff Fahey, Naveen Andrews, Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Jordan Ladd, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, stuntwoman Zoë Bell, and Vanessa Ferlito.
