      Ian this was such a great experience i loved it. both movies are good! i like planet terror a little more than death proof but again they're both really good. Planet Terror is an awesome Zombie flick with a great aesthetic and amazing characters. Death Proof is a fun but weird mess of a movie that feels like it's missing something and will have you saying by the end of the movie "that was it?" i wish there was more told to us about stuntman mike but i guess that's just left to the imagination. if you haven't seen either of these movies and want to watch them i would highly suggest watching them together in grindhouse other than then as separate movies. the shorts before and in between the two movies were mostly solid as well. my favorite being the thanksgiving short which just became a full length film. honestly this was great and the 3 hours flew by like it was nothing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Bob A Planet terror is great!!! Absolutely love it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 03 hours: and 11 minutes ever of horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Red T An All Time Classic and a Love Letter to the Exploitations films of New Hollywood. This is a really unique experience. These films are there own are solid but together with the trailers and themes they are paying homage to all have a unique synergy to them. The only flaw is Death Proof's pacing does not keep up until the final 20 minutes with the franticness of Planet Terror which is the better film of the 2. It's still well done but very heavy on boring exposition which can feel weirdly pintless but intentionally done so as well, probably to poke fun at films of that era doing the same with bad pointless expose. This can feel pointless but never bad if that makes sense, but the ending stands right with Planet Terror and is probably the best part of the package and ends it with a bang. The editing, trailers, self awareness, all goes perfectly together and honestly I can't think of anything else like this especially in the new millennium. Everyone as long as they have a strong stomach should give this a try and see both together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Earl T Takes me back to the grindhouse in my old neighborhood, bringing back many great memories! Highly recommended!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/22 Full Review Audience Member Here in "Grindhouse", I'll talk about my experience in general. The "film" is divided into three parts: "Planet Terror", a film directed by Robert Rodríguez; "Death Proof", a film directed by Quentin Tarantino; and between these two main productions there are some little trailers for fictional pictures that I honestly would like to see. I laughed hard with these trailers, I can even talk they're better than both main fims. The two best are "Machete" (which actually ended up becoming a real film) and "Thanksgiving". I'll review the two main movies isolatedly, but the entire work is incredible, it captures perfectly the essence of the universe of B movies.

      David Fear Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Grindhouse is both impressive and disappointing. From a technical and craft point of view it is first-rate; from its standing in the canon of the two directors, it is minor. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal The whole thing runs a bit over three hours, goes by swiftly, contains countless film references and includes hilarious fake trailers. Apr 9, 2007 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) An outrageously entertaining, slam-bang double feature Rated: 3/4 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) The one thing that became evident to me, while watching Tarantino's homage to sewer cinema, is that even while the flesh is melting and being blown apart with bullets, if the spirit is missing, there simply isn't much point. Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Ali Gray TheShiznit.co.uk Not just a movie but an event in its own right, Grindhouse is simply unmissable in its complete form. Rated: 5/5 Oct 14, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
