Sheer bloody fun!

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2008)

"Planet Terror" is pure, unadulterated, fun! An adrenaline fun-ride of a film! I don't know why South Africa chose to split the "Grindhouse" on release, but I'm glad they did. "Deathproof" just doesn't compare to "Planet Terror". While Tarantino got bogged down in dialogue, "Planet Terror" is low on talking, but high on action! From Josh Brolin's psychotic doctor to Naveen Andrew's Psycho scientist to Rose McGowan's go-go dancer,the characters are all unique and crazy-cool. The only drawback to the film is when the little boy shoots himself. Its unsettling and just a little unnecessary, in my view, but that aside, you can't go wrong with "Planet Terror'. It's a check-your-brain at the door kind of movie but delivers a punch that few other horror movies have done recently.
