Grindhouse

Grindhouse combines Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror, a horror comedy about a group of survivors who battle zombie-like creatures, and Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, an action thriller about a murderous stuntman who kills young women with modified vehicles. It is presented as a double feature with fictitious exploitation trailers preceding each segment.

Rodriguez and Tarantino's love letter to 1970s exploitation cinema earned mostly enthusiastic notices for its gleeful bad taste and formal wit, though critics split sharply over the two halves — many found Planet Terror the more purely enjoyable segment while others argued Death Proof is the more genuinely cinematic one. The fake trailers were nearly a point of universal agreement, praised even by reviewers who soured on the features themselves.
