This film was pretty sick. Sick as in a totally great flick. Planet Terror was something out of the ordinary and the infection and flesh eating zombie attacks have to be some of the goriest I have ever watched to date.

The vintage look really set the mood for this film and the action in the movie was non-stop from beginning to end. I thought that both Rose McGowan and Freddy Rodriguez were perfect for their roles in the movie, and additions of the Bruce Willis and Quentin Tarantino put the film over the top.

Anyone into gory and disgustingly action packed movies will enjoy Planet Terror, the first half of Grindhouse. If your stomach is weak, this is definitely not a film for you. You will probably shut it down within the first twenty or so minutes. I’ll see if I can catch the 2nd half of Grindhouse’s double feature Death Proof and review it over the course of the week.

Synopsis:
