Planet Bizarre

Rating: 6/10 (24 September 2007)

As many shall know "Grindhouse" is being released, in Europe, separately, so what I will comment is just the "Planet Terror" segment.
"Grindhouse  Planet Terror" is absolutely funny and ridiculous at the same time; and the movie just works out because of that. It's all done on purpose! It's so absurd and bizarre at parts that just make me like it a little bit more because of that
It has the cinematography that we all are used to see in Roberto Rodriguez's movies, with all the explosions, the intense action, the "impossible scenes", the nice looking girls; but it has something else: a brilliant dark humour!
The purpose of this project "Grindhouse" is clearly "to restore", in our fresh and young minds, the old "horror garbage" from the 70's, the kind of cinematography present in the horror b-series movies that nowadays we only can find in the bottom of some old video-store; and that goal is achieved, especially because it has a Roberto Rodriguez's touch
OK, the movie is a bit ridiculous, exaggerated, bizarre, absurd, but all the fun is just there, because it was meant to be like that!
