Synopsis

The feature-length documentary American Grindhouse explores the hidden history of the American Exploitation Film. The movie digs deep into this often overlooked category of U.S. cinema and unearths the shameless and occasionally shocking origins of this popular entertainment. Exploitation Cinema has left an indelible mark on American culture, and this informative and amusing documentary proves that its principles – and popularity – endure to this day. —SXSW

Very fun and could be informational if you know nothing about grindhouse cinema. I got the biggest kick out of seeing Ed Diamonds being interviewed.

Pretty good, especially if you're just getting into the genre.

Gracias a este documental, divertido y superficial, descubrí que: 1-) Necesito ver Truck Turner y The Tormentors. 2-) Kim Morgan debe ser la movie geek más sexy del mundo. 3-) John Landis es un tipo genial y gracioso como pocos...su comentario sobre La pasión de Cristo, de Mel Gibson, me mató.
