Planet Terror

Ok – I have now seen the most disgusting and totally AWESOME movie I have ever seen.  Planet Terror, directed by Robert Rodriguez (my new favorite director), is gruesome and intense.  Created to mimic 70′s B movies, Planet Terror was great.  Rose McGowan is awesome in this flick – sexy and comical – she brings just the right mix of sultry and humor to this role.  Planet Terror is not really scary, but it is an intense thrill-ride of gruesome horror.  This is the first scary movie that I have ever seen where I actually gagged at one scene with Quentin Tarantino where he is attempting to rape Rose McGowan and his ‘stuff’ starts to disentigrate.  Awesome effect – more than a little gross.  If you like zombie movies and you like blood and guts and a little humor with your horror then this flick is for you!

Here is what IMDB.co has to say about Planet Terror:

“After an experimental bio-nerve gas is accidentally released at a remote U.S. military base in Texas, those exposed to the gas turn into flesh-eating, mutating zombies out to kill. An assortment of various people who include stripper Cherry, her shady mechanic ex-boyfriend Wray, a strong-willed doctor, the local sheriff, and an assortment of various people must join forces to survive the night as the so-called “sickos” threaten to take over the whole town and the world.

In Texas, the gang leaded by the black market dealer Abby faces a group of renegade militaries leaded by Captain Muldoon in an abandoned military base. During their shootout, Abby shoots a recipient of biological weapon, releasing an experimental highly-contagious gas that turns humans to flesh-eating zombies. Meanwhile, in the local hospital, Dr. Block sees an epidemic with many patients with the same nasty symptoms. When the outbreak affects most of the local population, a group of people with immunity leaded by the mechanic Wray, Sheriff Hague, the stripper Cherry and the Dr. Dakota, fight to survive and become the last hope to save the world.

Muldoon, are making a business transaction with a scientist named Abby for a deadly biochemical agent known as DC2 codename “Project Terror”, but when Muldoon learns Abby has an extra supply on hand, he attempts to take Abby hostage and Abby intentionally releases the gas into the air. As gun-legged Cherry Darling and one man wrecking crew El Wray try to save the world from a horde of flesh-eating zombies. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}”

    This was a fun movie…so over the top with the gore and one-liners (e.g. “This one’s a no-brainer”). Then there’s all the folks in the cast…not only Quentin Tarantino but Bruce Willis, Josh Brolin, Michael Biehn, Tom Savini (better known for his makeup and effects work, wonder what he really thought of the stuff going on all around him?), Cheech Marin, and no doubt other famous folks that I probably missed.

    This movie is a good choice if you’re in the mood for zombie CHEESE but not humor elevated to the level of Shaun of the Dead.
