What is a grind house?It is a downtown movie theater – usually in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace of the 1930s and '40s – know for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies, which are then presented as one full-length feature.
Come next April 6, first in the double bill will be Death Proof (directed by Quentin Tarantino), a slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while Planet Terror (directed by Robert Rodriguez) explores an alien world eerily familiar to our own.
At right is a one-sheet for Planet Terror, featuring – that's right – a machine gun-legged Rose McGowan (Scream, TV’s Charmed).
That’s right – Grindhouse is gonna rock.
