What Is Grindhouse About?
The premise of Grindhouse without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.
A double feature showcasing the spirit of exploitation cinema, this film combines Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof," a stylized action thriller about a stuntman who stalks and murders young women, and Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror," a fast-paced horror film depicting a zombie outbreak. Interspersed between the two main features are fake trailers and advertisements for fictional films, adding to the overall homage of the grindhouse aesthetic.
