An ordinary evening in a small Texas town becomes a grisly nightmare when a horde of flesh-eating zombies goes on the prowl. Cherry (Rose McGowan), a go-go dancer, and Wray (Freddy Rodriguez), her ex-lover, band together with other survivors in a no-holds barred effort to escape the carnage. The odds become a bit more even when Cherry, who lost her leg to a hungry ghoul, gets a machine-gun appendage and lets the bullets fly.

Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Won't make any friends outside of B-movie aficionados, and even they might tire of laughing at all the cheapo gore being thrown around. Rated: 2/5 Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times Dire and dunderheaded. Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Andrew Pulver Guardian McGowan is a suitably slinky presence as the lead avenger with a machine gun for a leg; blood and pus regularly fill the screen as Rodriguez lets rip with gleeful abandon. Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Gory, sleazy, sexy and disgusting in all the right ways, Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror is a pitch-perfect ode to '70s grindhouse films that never ceases to entertain. Rated: 5/5 Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast A clever ode to Grindhouse films of the 60s and 70s, Robert Rodriguez leans heavily into gross-out fratboy humour, but gives all of the best roles to the badass women who survive the apocalypse long after the men have died off. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Planet Terror is pure adrenaline... simple entertainment for fans of these kinds of films that only promised two things: sex and blood. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Leaburn O I shouldn’t enjoy this one but I do. Acting is hammy but good. Produced very well and special effects are actually very decent. More than a slight nod to the Evil Dead but Rose McGowan takes it to higher levels by looking incredible throughout. Watched on DVD. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Edy K This film is amazing action packed and it’s sexy full of dark humor and it literally the best grind-house film Robert Rodrigues is amazing and absurd🔥🔥🔥 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C Planet Terror (2007) is a cheesy and boring movie that I watched, the zombies in this story seem more like disgusting and repulsive creatures. There might even be an interesting scene in the final act, but this not help at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Jolin S B-MOVIE BUFF Couldn’t agree more. This homage to 60’s grindhouse gore that we would fill up the drive-in parking lot to get together with and party all night long was a real trip to the past. You really need to treat yourself to this one and have an old time trip down memory lane. I wish drive-ins would make a comeback so today’s teenagers could get a taste of good old fashioned fun at the movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Jason H An absolute blast from start to finish. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Jean L. L Bloody lols, and fine hidden tarentinoïd references. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
