GRINDHOUSE
The original theatrical experience!
Recreating the no-budget action titles of the 1970s, directors Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez combine their talents to create two over-the-top films--complete with authentic film scratches and lurid trailers.
Presented as a double feature, it combines Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR, a horror comedy about a group of survivors who battle zombie-like creatures, and Tarantino's DEATH PROOF , a thriller about a murderous stuntman who kills young women with modified vehicles.
Grindhouse pays homage to exploitation films of the 1970s, with its title deriving from the now-defunct theaters that would show such films. As part of its theatrical presentation, Grindhouse also features
fictitious exploitation trailers directed by Rodriguez,
Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Jason Eisener.
