(Horror) A fun zombie film that busts at the seams with gross special effects, amazing action, and deliciously over-the-top moments, as gun-legged Cherry Darling and one man wrecking crew El Wray try to save the world from a horde of flesh-eating zombies.

Summary: Instant Classic in my book
Comment: Look, if you enjoy low budget action packed horror movies like myself...this movie is right up your alley. Great tongue-in-cheek acting from the whole cast.Its great to see vets like Michael Biehn, Tom Savini, and Jeff Fahey on the screen. Bruce Willis is underplayed perfectly.
Rosario Dawson will forever be rememebered for this role. Theres plenty of blood/gore, non-stop action, and one-liners. Throw in some moody keyboards (an obvious ode to John Carpenter) and you have yourself one DAMN good popcorn zombie flick. The movie feels like a killer ride; enjoy the trip!

Summary: Gorelicious .
Comment: Bad gas in the air , turns people to hideous scares . Let the gorefest begin .
The first film of his and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse double feature , Robert Rodriguez's tribute to the expolitation films - zombie genre with this film - is one hell of an R rated fun ride . And like most of his movies , it's all about having fun . Gore fun this time . And he delivers .Plot holes are still here , but it's supposed to be this way . That damaged film look is really great .
Good dvd extras like Robert Rodriguez's commentary and his always appreciated 10 Minute Film School . But what made me give this dvd a five star is the Audience Reaction track option , where you can hear the audience reaction to the gore scenes and jokes while watching the film . I really like it . All non serious films should do the same .
Thank you Mr.Rodriguez for casting Michael Biehn in the film .

Summary: Bloody Fun!!
Comment: There is lots of gore in this movie!! Blasting off people's heads, limbs & bodies torn apart, waves of blood being splashed everywhere! It's visually a really great movie! And it has Tom Savini, an added bonus for me!! Rodriguez is a great director! His style (similar to Tarantino) gave this movie what it needed, and could have only been directed by him. Coming off of a great visual like Sin City. And I love that it stars Freddy Rodriguez who played Rico in Six Feet Under! This movie shows his range of acting, and I'd hope to see him in more movies!
So I gave it only 4 stars because it just seemed cheesy to me that they put a gun on some chick's stump. For some reason I can't get past this. Yeah, I can buy the fact that some gas causes zombie-like mutations, but it just seems cheesy to put a gun on some chick's cut-off leg. Maybe an arm (a-lah Army Of Darkness, but not a chainsaw), but a leg is just something I have a hard time with. Maybe it's because I'm a leg man and have a hard time staring at a smokin' chick with a machine gun for a leg.
Of the 2 Gridhouse movies I like this one a little better. Nothing against Tarantino, but Rodriguez just had an edge somehow.

Summary: Disgusting fun
Comment: As usual, when I find myself watching this kind of awful nonsense, it is one of my daughters who talked me into it. I don't like zombie movies. I don't like viral infection movies. Generally. There are always exceptions.
So I say with a bad conscience: if you really got nothing better to do, spend a few hours watching madness break out after biological weapons run wild and out of control and create instant zombies around the narratively required handful of immune heroes. All in all, I am Legend makes much more sense. But then, who watches this for sense.
It is all in outrageously bad taste. Just think of Tarantino's character trying to rape the female hero (who already lost a leg), while in advanced stage of infection, with required body parts disintegrating in slime and ooze... Yukki.
I am sure the same heroine's stunts with the machine gun as leg replacement will make movie history.
And BBQ fans will be delighted to learn from the chef that a drop of one's own blood adds the right amount of saltiness to the sauce... Yummi!

Summary: A MUST BUY/OWN/SHARE!
Comment: I love this movie! Everyone says it starts out slow but your not going to be dissapointed. When the chick uses the weapon as her leg...OMG, This movie rocks!!! I own the Grindhouse sound track to Death Proof,another movie worth Buying/Owning and sharing!
