McGowan is a suitably slinky presence as the lead avenger with a machine gun for a leg; blood and pus regularly fill the screen as Rodriguez lets rip with gleeful abandon.

Top CriticA loving testament to exploitation horror cinema and a moronic sop to a certain generation of male film fans’ obsession with breasts, guns and gore.
11/09/07
Top CriticFollowing Tarantino's Death Proof, Rodriguez throws his hat into the Grindhouse ring and comes out the clear winner. Impossible not to be charmed by its gross-out effects, bad dialogue and amputee action.

Top CriticGloopy and outrageous, this schlock horror tribute is pure trash... in the best possible sense.

Top CriticAficionados will appreciate the po-faced wordplay and self-consciously gnarled-up aesthetic (missing reels, bad syncing, etc) as much as the fleshy centrepieces and gross-out grace notes. Others will struggle to find much appeal.

Top CriticWhile this is the Grindhouse film that suffers most from being presented solo, it’s still the most fun. Watch with beer in hand and tongue in cheek for optimal effect.
