A deliberate guilty pleasure

by AntoNEO@imdb | Oct 20, 2007

While Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof seems to be a much more authentic representation of 1970s grindhouse pictures, Robert Rodriguez' Planet Terror is more of a loving caricature of 1980s zombie splatter films. Nothing in the film is played straight, and... Read more at imdb.com

Better than Tarantino's half...

by FilmFlaneur@imdb | Jan 18, 2008

Rodriguez's half of the original 'grindhouse' double bill , which consisted of his TERROR PLANET with Tarantino's DEATH PROOF. Likely audience reactions led to the two titles being separated and issued apart. As a homage to the drive-in tradition and... Read more at imdb.com

"I want to eat your brains... and gain your knowledge."

by Filmjack3@imdb | Mar 08, 2008

Planet Terror, before becoming it's own movie-animal of sorts as a stand-alone feature released in most parts of the world (and on DVD), was a slightly shorter, near-perfect first part of a double-bill of the Rodriguez/Tarantino double-feature Grindhouse. Not to... Read more at imdb.com

Fun, fast and furious homage to the old b-movie schlock movies

by Joe@imdb | Nov 11, 2007

For some reason the original double feature movie of Grindhouse combining Planet Terror with Tarantino's effort was never released in the UK! Regardless, i was still curious to watch both efforts, and the first of which I've had the chance... Read more at imdb.com

Wild, bloody and deliriously entertaining: Fun with a capital "f"!

by Max_cinefilo89@imdb | Aug 09, 2007

Because of low box office returns in the USA (total gross: 25 million $; movie's budget: 100 million), that outrageously mouth-watering experiment known as Grindhouse was split in half for the European release: first came Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, a... Read more at imdb.com

Odd comments

by paulbestall@imdb | Aug 22, 2007

I've seen a fairly large segment of this film and don't understand either of the two negative reviews at all. I classed it as a zombie flick and as such found it a good addition to the genre. To say... Read more at imdb.com

Can a movie really be this much fun?

by Pete Tha GEEK!@imdb | Aug 16, 2007

The second 'Grindhouse' feature directed by Robert Rodriguez. This was the one I was most excited to see. When I always have some sort of idea about what to expect from Tarantino, Rodriguez has been far unpredictable in his career... Read more at imdb.com

Better than Death Proof

by rogue_flight@imdb | Sep 18, 2007

Everyone I know loves this movie, including my Girlfriend. Yes, it has it's gross-out moments, but they are all so over the top that they aren't all that disturbing. The whole movie is supposed to be grimy and cheesy so... Read more at imdb.com

Part One of "Grindhouse"

by S.R. Dipaling@imdb | Mar 03, 2008

I reviewed this before as it was put together next to "Death Proof" (plus a number of inspired trailers for films that don't exist) for the grand experiment "Grindhouse",and I felt that while I still quite enjoyed the whole package,... Read more at imdb.com
