Planet Terror'

Plot Outline:
After an experimental bio-nerve gas is accidentally released at a remote U.S. military base in Texas, those exposed to the gas turn into flesh-eating, mutating zombies. An assortment of various people including a stripper Cherry (Rose McGowan), her shady mechanic ex-boyfriend Wray (Freddy Rodriguez), a strong-willed doctor, the local sheriff, and a whole bunch of local misfits must join forces to survive the night as the infected threaten to take over the whole town or worse -- the planet.

Overall Impressions:
As everybody I know had suggested, this was a notch above the other Grindhouse film (Death Proof). I enjoyed the trailor for Machete too, but that's the only 'one' trailer we got. The plot is just as silly as it sounds, but it's good fun to watch. In contrast to Death Proof, what certainly worked for this is they don't waste any time & get straight on with the story. Enter the zombies, it gets worse, and worse, to the point you didn't think they could go. (When you see Quentin's last scene you'll know what I mean).

The mayhem that this film is reflects quite easily by the sheriff in the lines: "Don't shoot yourself. Don't shoot each other. And especially...*pause* Don't shoot me." It gets gutsy gorey, but not in a sick twisted way like Hostel, or Saw, or those types of horrors, this one goes back to Rodriguez old-skool. Its more reminiscent of films like From Dusk Til Dawn.
