Planet Terror
(USA, 2007, 105 minutes)
A small Texas town is overrun by what seems to be an epidemic that turns people into flesh-eating zombies, with a ragtag crew of survivors trying to understand why and stem the tide. Lively tribute to classic Z-grade and exploitation horror movies, done with style, panache and a great sense of humour. Originally released in the US, in a 90m version, alongside Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof as one half of Grindhouse, a double-feature homage to 1970s exploitation movies; both films were exploited separately in international markets, in the case of Planet Terror in an expanded 105m version.
Dimension Films presents a Troublemaker Studios production. Starring Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Josh Brolin, Marley Shelton, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Naveen Andrews, Michael Parks, Stacy Ferguson. Director, writer, music composer, director of photography (DeLuxe) and visual effects supervisor, Robert Rodriguez; produced by Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Elizabeth Avellán; production designer, Steve Joyner; costume designer, Nina Proctor; film editors, Robert Rodriguez, Ethan Maniquis; special make-up effects designed and created by Gregory Nicotero and Howard Berger.

Comments
achei muito interessante e improvável uma crítica que fez ao filme de Rodriguez em detrimento do filme de Tarantino.
Está convencido que o filme de Rodriguez é superior ao de Tarantino teoricamente, ou apenas por uma questão privada de gosto?
Parece-me muito natural e crível que tenha gostado mais do filme de Rodriguez, que lhe tenha dado mais prazer; mas pensa realmente que tecnica, criativa e mesmo ideologicamente esse objecto seja superior ao de Tarantino.
Cumprimentos,
