Grindhouse Movies: Core Double Feature
The original Grindhouse theatrical experience as intended by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. This watch order presents the two films that formed the core double feature: a zombie action-horror and a slasher-thriller.
Planet Terror and Death Proof are completely separate stories with no shared characters or continuity, designed as loving tributes to different subgenres of exploitation cinema. Together, they capture the authentic grindhouse movie experience that inspired all the subsequent spin-offs.
