Screen_Blitz Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino collaborate to make an action-horror double feature known as Grindhouse, where the movies are filmed to obtain the looks of old exploitation films from the 70s and 80s. With Quentin Tarantino's action feature 'Death Proof' dealing with a psychotic Hollywood stuntman preying a woman with his black Chevrolet Nova, this half directed by Robert Rodriguez pays a homage to vintage zombie horror B-movies with over-the-top action and blood and gore. This feature follows Cherry (played by Rose McGowan), a sexy stripper with a shady ex-boyfriend Wray (played by Freddy Rodriguez) living in a small Texas town that soon becomes under attacked when a biomedical experiment goes awry and releases a toxic gas that mutates people into gruesome, flesh-eating monsters. Cherry, Wray, and her father join alliance with Dakota Block (played by Marley Shelton), a nurse and mother who is secretly cheating on her husband Will (played by Josh Brolin), local sheriff Hague (played by Michael Biehn), and several other town residents to fight against the flesh-eating zombie onslaught that threaten their town. Bruce Willis makes an appearance as an army lieutenant who witnesses the downfall of the experiment that leads the town in extreme turmoil. Opening a fake movie trailer starring Danny Trejo as the action hero "Machete" who makes an appearance in many of Rodriguez's later films, this film, in my opinion, offers a bit more excitement and storytelling than Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof'. It brings the intense zombie action and aggressively over-the-top blood and gore to make every zombie fan blush, not to mention a surprisingly likable cast including Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo appearance. With the vintage cinematography, the film pays a solid homage to the classic action and horror flicks that gained pop cult status in later years of their release. However, the main flaw is that director Robert Rodriguez takes his vintage filming style a bit too seriously, to the point of it being needlessly distracting. The grainy film format can be diverting enough for those not in favor of a degenerate style of filmmaking. The style only becomes more off- putting with the absurdly awkward editing, one example lies at the halfway point with the movie breaking into a brief intermission with the sight of a simulated film reel burning obliviously, filling the screen with flames, and then skipping a portion of the film's storyline. Rodriguez seems to embrace the filmmaking style highly over the characters to where the cinematography serves more as the star of the film than the characters. Those who are able to look past the distracting cinematography, however, will find luxury in the fast-paced plot, the intoxicating zombie shootouts, and Rose McGowan's character mowing down with her machine gun-replaced leg. The cast's performances are not particularly stand strong, but as the film pays a homage to old films that lacked stellar acting, many may find somewhat forgivable.Planet Terror is a fun and entertaining zombie action flick, but a bit faulty in terms of style. I personally find this half of Grindhouse more entertaining than 'Death Proof', though Death Proof is slightly improving in cinematography. This film is worth watching for all Robert Rodriguez fans, and a definite no-go for the faint of heart as this film is piled with absurd amount of gore and violence from start to finish.

MattBirk Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror is by far the better of the two films (Death Proof being the other) that come together to create Grindhouse. This is one of the more darkly comedic and stylized, zombie survival movies out there, clearly a homage to all those old B-movies from back in the day. From the 'missing reel' gags to the choppy editing, the movie is flat out brilliant. Rodriguez did his homework on the genre and created a fantastic genre piece that is destined to find a solid cult following.Each character here gets their own story, some being more serious and others being quite humorous, but they all come together to create a bizarre story. Everyone in the movie seems to have a hidden agenda or some sort of cryptic undertone that carries over throughout the entire movie. That's what makes each story entertaining, you never know what the characters are capable of, especially during a zombie outbreak. But what really made the movie special was the aesthetics used in the movie to give it some visual flair, these days zombie movies are so common that they lack any originality, at least here they took a gamble and in my eyes, it paid off. You couldn't ask for a movie where the people behind the camera are having just as much fun as those in front of the camera. This is a movie you have to experience.In the end, this movie demands an acquired taste (horror aficionados and zombie lovers), others might not appreciate what the filmmakers were trying to accomplish. Planet Terror, along with Death Proof was a huge gamble on behalf of everyone involved behind the camera, and I'd have to say it was halfway successful.....this movie being the successful half.

Taylor Kingston I enjoy this movie. It's an interesting take on the zombie apocalypse theme that is so popular over the last decade. I still hate the terrible quality, but as I said in my Grindhouse: Death Proof review, it's made the be like that. I think that annoys me more than the actual bad quality.This movie about a zombie apocalypse. After an experimental bio-weapon is accidentally, sort of purpose, released, it turns thousands of people into zombie-like creatures. They'll eat anyone. A small group of people survive the initial attacks and somehow end up in the same place. They then have to work together to stay alive. Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
