Grindhouse
It may be surprising when a film is made of the term 'grindhouse'. It is a series of events that refer to cinemas specializing in B films, and often exploits films as described in a multi-feature format through more horrific events.

RR and QT do an excellent job of simulating the content of grindhouse offerings, but they don't simulate the experience or the giddy kick.April 09, 2007
Shocking gore. Excessive violence. Gratuitous nudity. Exploding pustules. Hey, maybe your childhood was different than mine.September 04, 2008
This is a movie theater experience. It needs to be seen at night, with a big screen and lots of friends.October 21, 2010
Grindhouse is a great experience, packed with fun, thrills, chills and gore galore.March 22, 2011
A paean to the exploitation films of the 70s, built more for titillation than story-telling, Grindhouse - especially the Rodriguez sequence - is nearly impossibly silly, not necessarily a bad thing, and is certainly not for everyone.April 09, 2007
The whole thing runs a bit over three hours, goes by swiftly, contains countless film references and includes hilarious fake trailers.June 09, 2010
Delivers all the trashy, seat-squirming, eye-covering moments your fiercely racing heart craves. Forget about "guilty pleasures." Call it a pleasure, and leave it at that.April 09, 2007
A rowdy jolt of quasi-nostalgic escapism.April 09, 2007
A weaponized adrenaline rush.October 26, 2007
Grindhouse is both impressive and disappointing. From a technical and craft point of view it is first-rate; from its standing in the canon of the two directors, it is minor.October 14, 2012
Not just a movie but an event in its own right, Grindhouse is simply unmissable in its complete form.
