We're all familiar with the B movie horror genre. Oh so many films we deplore, yet we cannot deny the impulsive draw they have. Call it a no brainer if you will, but that new slasher movie with a no-name cast, will definately put bums in the seats, and will incite distaste amongst those who find this genre dull or uninteresting. But what happens when two of the worlds most renowned and applauded directors come together with an idea whereby two completely different films are sewn together to make one feature in this B movie style? Well, it gives you a little tingling that perhaps you had this genre all wrong...
This is exactly whats happening with Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's upcoming horror, Grind House.
A double-bill of thrillers that will recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grind House" will be presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. Tarantino's film, Death Proof, is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while Rodriguez's film explores an alien world eerily familiar to ours in Planet Terror.
With a cast list not so much made up of your typical A listers but definately as long a list as Mr Schindler might have been impressed with, Grind House is set to shock, slash, gauge and rip when it hits the screen in April 2007. The only question on my lips right now, is can Tarantino pull off an 80minute film?
Remains to be seen...
