Robert Rodriguez's effort in the double feature 'Grindhouse' is much better than Tarantino's lacklustre Death Proof, succeeding in capturing the essence of the B-movie whilst keeping the actual film enjoyable to watch. The plot itself is brilliantly ridiculous and simple, a deadly virus gets released and contaminates thousands of people, turning them into zombie-like creatures. It's up to a rag-tag group of survivors including go-go dancer Cherry Darling (Rose McGowan) and the infamous Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) to put up the fight against the zombies. Combining the slick action sequences of Sin City and the terrific rubbishness of B-movies, Rodriguez delivers a kick-ass gore fest for anyone brave enough to stomach.
RATING: 8/10 - One of the best zombie movies around
