Planet Terror

2007 · 105 min

A gleefully over-the-top grindhouse thrill ride packed with outrageous gore, absurd humor, and relentless action that never takes itself seriously.

Tagline
Humanity's last hope… rests on a high power machine gun!
Overview
Two doctors find their graveyard shift inundated with townspeople ravaged by sores. Among the wounded is Cherry Darling, a dancer whose leg was ripped from her body. As the invalids quickly become enraged aggressors, Cherry and her ex-boyfriend El Wray lead a team of accidental warriors into the night.
