Grindhouse - Movie

The film's title derives from the U.S. film industry term grindhouse, which refers to a movie theater specializing in B movies, often exploitation films, shown in a multiple-feature format. The film stars Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Naveen Andrews, Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, and Vanessa Ferlito, among others.

The first feature in the film is Rodriguez's zombie film entitled Planet Terror. The plot revolves around an outfit of rebels attempting to survive an onslaught of zombies as they feud with a military unit. Tarantino's segment, Death Proof, focuses on a crazed stunt man who targets young women, murdering them with his death proof stunt car. Each feature is preceded by faux trailers of exploitation films in other genres that were developed by other directors. Some of the trailers will be expanded into full-length films or released direct-to-DVD.

After the film was released on April 6, 2007, ticket sales performed significantly below box office analysts' expectations despite mostly positive critic reviews. Reportedly, the producers are considering splitting the film into two segments for the rest of its U.S. theatrical run in an attempt to increase revenue. In much of the rest of the world, each feature will be released separately. Two soundtracks were also released for the features and include music and audio snippets from the film. In several interviews, the directors have expressed their interest in a possible sequel to the film.
