Grindhouse at the 5 Points Theatre

We just learned that the 5 Points Theatre is having its first "late-night" movie this evening, Friday, April 3rd, at 11:15PM. For the bargain price of $5 you can see the Grindhouse: Double Feature with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. So, really, that's $2.50 per movie. Tonight's showing of the film will include extra footage that was not included on the DVD, fake trailers and stuff.

"A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics. Written by alfiehitchie
