Grindhouse is pure genius. First off, it is made up of two films, Planet Terror and Death Proof. Planet Terror is written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Death Proof is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
To start off with, Planet Terror is one of the best zombie flicks in film history. It is so much fun, It has a lot of gore, and I mean a lot, but it is used so falsely on purpose, you can't help but laugh. The film is so horrifying and disturbing. It has a lot of very bad scenes, so bad that you can't help but say 'oh dear'!. There is a lot of explosions in the film, since basically a gas was let out that turned people into zombie-like monsters. The film is pure fun, very great fun, and it is such a joy to watch. It is so unrealistic, like a woman wearing a huge gun instead of a leg. wow PURE AMAZING
The second feature in 'Grindhouse' is Death Proof. Unlike Planet Terror, Death Proof takes itself at a different angle. It starts off with a bunch of girls talking. A lot of people say the film is boring, but really, it's not. If you've ever seen a Tarantino flick, you know he uses great dialogue for character development and forwarding. In Death Proof, he uses too much, so much that you can't help but feel like you are right there with the girls. I felt that I was really emphasizing and understanding with the girls, and I felt really relaxed. Death Proof starts off with a group of girls, then those girls get stalked by a man called Stuntman Mike. Stuntman Mike is played greatly by Kurt Russel(who I believe really deserved some awards buzz for his supporting performance). Stuntman Mike is obsessed with these girls, so he decides to follow them. Well, let me tell you that his car is 100% death proof, and that throughout the film he manages to pull of crazy car stunts. Death Proof is so well built up too, it is one of those films you know is leading to something great, and when it does, in the end, you will not be disappointed. Some of the car chase scenes are one of the greatest in history, and the direction Quentin Tarantino uses is simply amazing. I think that Death Proof as a whole, is stronger than Planet Terror.
Grindhouse also has fake trailers attached to the film itself. Before Planet Terror starts, and after it ends, before Death proof, there are a whole bunch of fake trailers attached that are simply amazing. For example, trailers like "Machete"(which Rodrigues did). Other trailers are "Thanksgiving"(probably the best, done by Eli Roth), and "Don't" and "Werewolf Women of the S.S."(done by Rob Zombie). The trailers really help us to recognize the film as a 'grindhouse' experience. Throughout Grindhouse, there are missing scenes, called 'missing reels' attached(or more like taken out)purposely. It is just a part of the film that was done to make it look 'old' and 'antique'. There are also a lot of great actors, acting in Planet Terror was purposely done bad, as were old films back in the day. Rose Mcgowan has apart in both films, and Freddy Rodríguez and Josh Brolin also have parts in the film.
Overall, Grindhouse is a cinematic achievement. The most original and exciting film of the year, of the decade for that. It is too bad that is flopped in the box office, because it is guaranteed a cult status. Actually, it already has become a sort of a cult classic. A must-see for film lovers.
