Planet Terror
Dir: Robert Rodriguez
2007
***
I think this film suffers from being separated from its intended twin (Death Proof) as part of the Grindhouse experience. Although I enjoyed Planet terror, it is no way near as good as some of the films it tries to mock/imitate/pay tribute to. Still, there are some original ideas here that I have to applaud, it is fun but it's just a shame that the years coolest poster turns out to be for the years most disappointing film! (not the worst, just the most disappointing considering the hype). Style over content unfortunately, cool but not really cool enough to warrant the cult status it seems to have reached.
