A TYPICAL FILM IN THE SAME VEIN OF MODERN FILM MAKERS { TARANTINO, RODRIGUEZS } UNUSUAL , DIFFERENT DIALOGUE, GREAT ACTION AND NOT THE NORMAL TYPE OF START MIDDLE AND END THAT MOST FILMS SEEM TO HAVE.
Fairly dumb-ass movie, but that's the idea. Did a good job of sticking to the source material of shlocky low budget 70s-80s straight to video fare. Enjoyable
i was really looking forward to watching this film but was a bit dissapointed. i love old b movie horror films but this just didnt keep me watching, the story was blah, the acting was ok, if you like zombie films it might be one for the collection but i wouldnt get your hopes up.
After Enjoying the likes on Sin city, Desperado and From dusk till dawn I had high hopes for this movie. And believe me I was extremely impressed with the final product. Great action great actors great film Loved it!
Rodriguez uses his favourite weapons once again : light humor, attaching but larger than life characters and totally improbable weapons ... In this zombie movie, separate stories get together as some zombie plague spreads and destoys the city, with some military acting strange. And another very good score by Rodriguez himself.
wot can i say about this film? if you like a gud cheesy horror type of film you'l love this, this is rodriguez at his best! he also did dusk till dawn "another classic" and if youve seen that 1 and enjoid it you'l love this 1.
Rodriguez's half of Grindhouse is as good as Death Proof, and considerably more entertaining. McGowan is a suitably sexy lead with a machine gun for a leg, and plenty of gelatinous zombie blood. Very fun, but not for the squamish!
What a film!! really enjoyed this one Blood,Limbs and bodies flying all over the place. Black comedy horror with babes thrown in for good measure,will have you either crying with laughter,cringing at the blood or amazed at the violence not for the faint hearted!!! Bought as I had seen a trailer for it and thought wow that looks cool. If you like this type of film you will not be disappointed. Next up is Deathproof!,looks just as good and made the same way!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome flick. I loved every minute. Really witty and well scripted. The directing is top notch i can't fault it. The actors all give great performances and Freddy Rodriguez is great. Stupid story yes, but that is the idea - it is by far one of the best zombie flicks ever. Rose mcGowan and her gun leg absolutely rule - and their are loads of iconic images and set pieces. Very very very gory, very funny, totally off the wall and unexplained. Great cinematography - the thing is so rich and livid with colour - it is a thing of beauty. another plus is the death of Tarantino in it!!! yay! go and watch it now - but not if your squeamish.
I can safely say i really enjoyed this film lots of cameos by well known faces and the way the film is made makes you feel like your in a fleapit cinema from days long gone before cinema became so commercialized. The crackly distorted sound and effects to make it feel like a well worn projector film reel just add to the atmosphere of the film it even has a supposed missing reel! Add to this cool zombies, plenty of action, cheesy lines, atmospheric music and plenty of scantily clad chicks this really is a film geeks wet dream!! I enjoyed Deathproof but personally I think this is better and more fun to watch then again you cannot beat a good zombie movie in my opinion!!!
Where do you start? It's probably the best horror I've seen since House of a 1000 corpses. I've never really come across grindhouse before but if this and it's paired film Death Proof are anything to go by, I will be watching loads more. Out of the two films released as Grindhouse in the states, this is by far the superior horror, it has its tongue firmly in its cheek and uses the techniques of making it look like a drive in movie to add an extra element to the film. I really don't want to go on about zombies, shoot ups, trying to open a door with your wrist as you don't have the use of your hands or strippers with a machine gun leg or why anyone would carry a monkey bike in their boot, I think you can see that from the box. Just know if you grab some popcorn, turn down the lights and sit back with this baby, your in for one hell of a fun ride.
