The other half of the Grindhouse experience "Planet Terror", Robert Rodriguez's zombie riot of a film, and what a blast it is. When a experimental bio-weapon turns your average Joe Blogs into crazy zombies, all hell is let loose and a group of survivors decide to arm them self's and fight back. The movie kicks of with a fantastic sleazy dance by the main heroine Cherry Darling (the sexy Rose Mcgowan), this sets the tone for the whole movie, with the film print deliberately scratched and the occasional bad edits and even a missing reel its all part off the trashy fun. Note: some viewers might not like the way the film was shot, this is no MTV slick, shiny production, this is pure exploitation, this is GRINDHOUSE, so get with it.
As you would expect from Robert Rodriguez he stages the blood and carnage with glee, its his most outrages movie yet, when the zombies get shot left right and centre the blood spurts out in an OTT manner, there's plenty of sick effects to keep all you gore hounds happy, and its a good companion piece to Tarantino's "Death Proof". Its a shame that the movie tanked at the box office, but it does deserve a 2nd chance. Never has so much trash been so much fun.
