				Why watch this? 
				This brutally graphic zombie actioner packs lots of punch and 
				interesting characters. 
				Plot Summary: 
				During a botched military transaction involving a deadly 
				biochemical agent, the gas is accidentally released into the 
				atmosphere of a rural Texas town. Residents quickly transform 
				into flesh-eating, zombie-like creatures, prompting a desperate 
				fight for survival among the uninfected population. A diverse 
				group of survivors, including a go-go dancer and her 
				ex-boyfriend, must band together to combat both the infected 
				hordes and a rogue military unit amidst the escalating chaos. Dad's Preview: 
				This film was originally packaged with a second film, Death 
				Proof, under the title 
				
				Grindhouse. Both are an homage to the '70s, low-budget, 
				exploitation films often played at drive-in double-features. 
				This is the better film of the two. Here the pus-oozing undead 
				are coming to a small Texas town. A cranky sheriff, a sexy young 
				doctor, a handsome Latino convict, and Cherry Darling, a sensual 
				go-go danger, all get really creative in combating the insane 
				onslaught. It's not so much about the plot, as it is about gore, 
				guns, survival... and some great lines that keep the film light 
				and thrilling. Rose McGowan is tough as nails as Cherry, and I 
				really enjoyed Michael Biehn's (Terminator 
				(1984), 
				Tombstone 
				(1993)) return to the big screen.
