Overview

GRINDHOUSE is the cinematic equivalent of Bach and Beethoven adding their touch to a boy-band song. Master directors Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY) indulge their inner fanboys and team up for this homage to their favorite B-movies.

Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"GRINDHOUSE, soaked in bloody nostalgia for the cheesy, disreputable pleasures of an older form of movie entertainment can also be seen as a passionate protest against the present state of the entertainment industry." - 04/06/2007 New York Times, p.E1


"PLANET TERROR is an instant classic of deadpan perfection....[DEATH PROOF's] final showdown is sheer brutality, sheer bliss, and sheer primal statement on the new power balance of the sexes." -- Grade: A - 04/13/2007 Entertainment Weekly, p.52-3


3.5 stars out of 4 -- "GRINDHOUSE is a double dose of lowdown, dirty, blood-splattering fun....This babes-and-bullets tour de force gets you high on movies again." - 04/19/2007 Rolling Stone, 68


3 stars out of 4 -- "DEATH PROOF is a slasher/revenge fantasy with a female empowerment theme....GRINDHOUSE is a rowdy jolt of quasi-nostalgic escapism." - 04/06/2007 USA Today, p.6E


4 stars out of 5 -- "Infectious and irresistible....It's blessed with a rare, raw enthusiasm, made by two directors who really care for their day job." - 07/01/2007 Total Film, p.34


5 stars out of 5 -- "Tarantino makes his usual interesting music choices, giving the film a must-have soundtrack. Rodriguez does his own score with a John Carpenter-esque synthesizer. Every little detail adds up to make GRINDHOUSE the total package..." - 05/01/2007 Ultimate DVD, p.77
