Loved it

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2007)

This film('these films...'?) didn't do well at the box office(in America,anyway);however, I think like the grindhouse films of the 60's & 70's they emulate,they'll gain a strong cult following & popularity as the years go by. I went in expecting a great 70's exploitation double feature from two directors I respect and admire,two men who love these exploitation films as much as I do. I was not disappointed. Not
all of it was great,however.The 'scratches' on the print,the film 'bubbling' at the reel change, and the 'missing reel'...personally,I could have done without all these 'effects'.If you're going to replicate the experience of being in the grindhouse,why not improve it? I mean,c'mon...wino's puking in the aisles and babies screaming at the top of their lungs was also part of the grindhouse'experience',but who wants to replicate that? Overall,I liked both(I'm not picking a favorite),and will recommend them to everyone I know.
