ROTTEN TOMATOES: The "Grind House" Welcomes its First Visitors

The "Grind House" Welcomes its First Visitors

by Scott Weinberg | March 30, 2006

CHUD.com clues us in on a few of the first cast members signed to star in the Tarantino/Rodriguez horror flick "Grind House," which is presently in production down in beautiful Austin, Texas. Here's a clue: One of the new cast members is no stranger to things that occur "Six Feet Under."

Says the CHUD gang: "Robert Rodriguez is currently hard at work making mayhem down in Austin with his part of the RR/QT combo Grind House, and now we've heard of another human appearing in the flick: Six Feet Under corpse-restoration expert Freddy Rodriguez... Though his HBO show may be over, Freddy will still have bodies to contend with -- the Robert Rodriguez half of the horror-exploitation double-feature is called Project Terror, a zombie homage that apparently concerns a sheriff department dealing with an outbreak of infected lunatics (called "sickos").

We're not sure of Freddy's role in the film, but given the involvement of gore god Greg Nicotero and Rodriguez's penchant for splatternalia, there's a good possibility he'll meet a messy end. Project Terror also stars Michael Biehn (yay!), Josh Brolin, Tom Savini and Marley Shelton, among others yet to be confirmed or identified."

--

Both filmmakers have displayed some success in the arena of horror: Robert Rodriguez for his "From Dusk Till Dawn" and "The Faculty," and Quentin Tarantino for his acting career. (ba dum bum)

For a bit more info on the project, including some scoopage on the QT side of the story, hit CHUD.

The fact that they titled it after the subgenre, is so lame. It's like naming a romantic comedy, "Romantic Comedy." A grind house movie is a grind house movie because of the fact it's low-budget atmosphere, has mediocre acting and memorable gruesomeness, not because someone wrote it as one... This "Grind House" movie will be so contrived.

There already was a movie title Romantic Comedy. Guess what!?! It was a ROMANTIC COMEDY. Who cares what they name it, so as its a decent movie.

This sounds really interesting, being a huge fan of the zombie sub-genre. I'm always interested in new horror, and I especially love Tarantino and Rodriguez as directors. They should serve the horror genre accordingly.

Sounds like it's shaping up to be pretty damn good to me. I have faith in Rodriguez and QT, and this sounds like it's right up their alley.

The Grind House already signed up its first visitor when the project was first mentioned. Me. I don't care who stars in this. QT + RR + Horror Genre = I'm so there on the first day!
