THE experiment didn't quite work out, did it?

Planet Terror started life as one half of a double bill with Quentin Tarantino's Deathproof, with fake adverts shown in between, but American audiences didn't get it. And the film's producers didn't make the money they were hoping for, so they sliced the four hour gore fest in two.

Planet Terror, a retro horror film about zombie-like creatures, hasn't been given the publicity which surrounded the Tarantino flick, but it's just as good.
