Grindhouse Nightmares

Product Information

Throughout the film, the stories are intercut with fake trailers for fictitious exploitation movies, including "Bikini Bloodbath at the Amusement Park," "Zombie Grannies," and "The Diary of Anne Frankenstein." Kurt Russell stars as Stuntman Mike, a washed up stunt driver who preys on young women with his killer car. The first half is rooted in slasher tropes, with the vehicular murderer stalking then dispatching a group of girls. Later, Stuntman Mike meets his match in the form of stunt woman Zoë Bell ( Kill Bill, Xena: Warrior Princess) — playing a fictionalized version of herself — and her friends. While the film is certainly not for the faint of heart, it's clear that the creators had a lot of fun making it. The cast gives energetic performances, and the filmmakers manage to balance the gore and the humor to great effect.

Shattering all-time records at the box-office, Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, the haunting new horror film based on the video game series created by Scott Cawthon, will be available with never-before-seen bonus content on Digital November 28, 2023, and 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on December 12, 2023, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. It is a curious delight to hear of a new film project from Richard Driscoll. A varied filmography, his horror credits as director/producer include 'Kannibal (2001)', featuring Driscoll in the title role of Hannibal Lector wannabe Kavanagh, and 'Evil Calls (2008)', featuring Driscoll as central character George Carney. Both films exist in a variety of formats and titles. Both ventures have earned Driscoll a dubious reputation as film-maker, both for the end result and for goings-on behind the scenes. Grindhouse Nightmares pays homage to the grindhouse cinema of the 70s, with a gritty, low-budget aesthetic, over-the-top violence and gore, and plenty of exploitation tropes including nudity, sex, and graphic violence. The film captures the feel of classic exploitation movies, with grainy 16mm footage, jump cuts, and a raw, DIY sensibility. Planet Terror extras include: “10 Minute Film School,” a streamlined making-of piece in which Rodriguez provides commentary on how the special effects and stunts were accomplished; featurettes on the cast, stunts, makeup effects; “Casting Rebel,” about Rodriguez working with his young son, including shooting alternate footage in which he survives to spare him the trauma; “The Friend, the Doctor, and the Real Estate Agent,” explores the casting of Rodriguez’s his real-life friend Tommy Nix, doctor Felix Sabates, and realtor Skip Reissig; “10 Minute Cooking School,” in which Rodriguez shares his award-winning Texas BBQ recipe; and a gallery of posters and lobby cards. Planet Terror is the first part of the double bill, feeling something like The Return of the Living Dead meets Universal Soldier directed by John Carpenter for Cannon Films. Rodriguez leans into ’80s camp with over-the-top action, spontaneous explosions, and splattery gore that marries practical effects by Greg Nicotero & Howard Berger of KNB EFX ( Scream, From Dusk Till Dawn) with digital aid.

Grindhouse Nightmares 2

It follows Cherry Darling ( Rose McGowan, Scream), a rural Texas go-go dancer in need of a dramatic change in life. She gets just that when her ex, El Wray ( Freddy Rodriguez, Six Feet Under), replaces her missing leg with an assault rifle to fend off against the living dead. In an homage to low-budget films that would advertise name actors who only appear in a few scenes, Bruce Willis plays Lt. Muldoon, the evil mastermind behind the plot that only required two days of shooting with limited interactions with other characters. Another impressive cast, the women of Death Proof include Rosario Dawson ( Sin City), Tracie Thoms ( Rent), Mary Elizabeth Winstead ( Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Vanessa Ferlito ( CSI: NY), Sydney Tamiia Poitier ( Knight Rider), Jordan Ladd ( Cabin Fever), and McGowan. It also features Tarantino as a bartender, Eli Roth, Omar Doom ( Inglourious Basterds), and writer Michael Bacall ( Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) as sketchy bros trying to score, and Parks as McGraw again. My own field of expertise in this genre is the cinema of Russ Meyer, and I was happy to see QT's closing homage to the tough girls and the beaten stud in "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" (1965), which John Waters has named as the greatest film of all time. One heroine even copies Tura Satana's leather gloves, boots and ponytail. I may have spotted, indeed, the most obscure quotation from Meyer. In an opening montage of his " Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" (1970), there is a brief, inexplicable shot of a boot crushing an egg. Rodriguez uses the same composition to show a boot crushing a testicle. So the Cinema marches on. Killer Animatronics– Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy transform from cute and cuddly into creepy and killer through a combination of costumed performers and cutting-edge puppetry.

FIVE NIGHTS in Three Dimensions– FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S takes a two-dimensional game and turns it into a three-dimensional nightmare. The all-new bonus content for Five Nights at Freddy’s gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic animatronics and recreating the immersive world of the game. The second story, "Slash-in-the-Box," centers around a family who discovers an old clown doll in their attic that turns out to be possessed by a demonic entity. As the family tries to get rid of the doll, it begins to wreak havoc, leading to a terrifying and bloody showdown with the evil spirit.Death Proof closes out the double feature, blending motifs from Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Vanishing Point, and Halloween. True to its grindhouse roots, the movie features long stretches of characters hanging out interrupted by spurts of excitement. Patience is rewarded, as those moments — a trio of breathtaking car stunt sequences — hit especially hard. The third and final segment, "Slaughterhouse Slumber Party," takes place at a bachelorette party held at an isolated farmhouse. As the girls settle in for a night of revelry, they begin to be stalked and killed off by a mysterious figure wearing a pig mask. Grindhouse Nightmares is a 2017 horror anthology film that features three terrifying tales set in the seedy world of 70s exploitation cinema. The film stars horror icon Linnea Quigley, Steve Munroe, and Lorna Bliss, among others. The first segment, titled "Cannibal Claus," follows a group of college students who stumble upon a remote village inhabited by a cannibalistic cult that worships a grotesque figure known as "Cannibal Claus." As the students try to escape, they are hunted down one by one by the bloodthirsty cult members.
