The MacGuffin

From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Has very little to do with the story of the original, but is a decent bank robbers become vampires movie. 6/10

From Dusk Till Dawn: The original Tarantino/Rodriguez horror team-up is still one of the best movies either has been involved in. 10/10

Death Proof: Works better in its extended form than as part of Grindhouse, but this is easily Quentin Tarantino’s worst film. 7/10

Planet Terror: Robert Rodriguez’s half of Grindhouse doesn’t work as well on its own. The cast features many B movie greats. 6/10

Grindhouse: The features in this double feature are decent, but the main reason to watch is for the fake trailers during intermission. 7/10

Cabin Fever 2: A great opening is undone by vapid characters and lame gross out gags. It should be noted that the director disowned it. 3/10

The Wraith: This sci-fi revenge story features some great car chases, but the characters are dumb and the plot makes very little sense. 5/10

Killer Party: Bad 80s slasher turns into a bad Exorcist rip-off in the last half hour. Not available on DVD. 2/10

Transsiberian: Suspenseful thriller in the vein of Hitchcock. Good performances by all and solid direction by Brad Anderson. 8/10

Visiting Hours: Great cast including Michael Ironside and Lee Grant make this exploitation piece seem a little more like an A picture. 6/10
