Brief synopsis of Grindhouse Trailer Classics

GRINDHOUSE cinemas could once be found in the sleaziest and run-down areas of America’s grimiest cities. New York’s 42nd Street was one of the most famous trash pit hangouts for denizens of the lower depths. From dusk ‘till dawn the theatres would screen a mind-boggling assortment of movies featuring lashings of sex, gore and violence – and if you were lucky, you’d get all three!


SEE for the first time ever on British DVD you can now sit back and take a twisted trip back to the glory days of the sleazy 60s and 70s for a roaring rampage through a two-hour hand-picked collection of some of the most insane examples of trailer trash ever to slash and burn their way through a Grindhouse cinema projector.


MARVEL at the fact that most ot the actual films themselves could never live up to the jaw dropping lunacy of these incredible trailers, some of which can today be considered true masterpieces in advertising and marketing. With their often hilarious voice-overs and mind-bending taglines, plus all the best bits from the movies themselves, they add up to one thing – sheer entertainment!


BE AMAZED that Contemporary Directors such as Quentin (GRINDHOUSE) Tarantino, Eli (HOSTEL) Roth and Rob (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS) Zombie have all since revisted these movies and have made their own supercharged movies relying heavily on the essence of many of these Seventies Grinhouse cinema classics. Tarantino in particular has drawn a huge amount of his inspiration from these movies and trailers in many of his films, so we’ve included some of his favourites here - see if you can spot them!


THRILL to the fact that many of the then unknown actors and filmmakers from these choice cuts went on to much bigger and better things, so it’s no surprise that these fantastic flicks have since achieved cult status, making GRINDHOUSE TRAILER CLASSICS a must-own DVD that's ideal for parties in your very own private Grindhouse...

This film is nearly two hours of grindhouse trailers (films that nobody has ever heard of) . You have to have pretty strong will power and determination to sit through fifty trailers! Boring.

Grindhouse trailer classics a great compilation of sleaze,porn,exploitation the likes of which we dont see anymore,theres some absolute classics here Isaac Hayes as truck turner& Pam Grier and some real stinkers too.

the intro starts of with a Grindhouse logo and sadly should end with it,but the disc just stops,a great mini doc with hottie Emily Booth showing more leg than a Sunday roast chicken,this is ideal for folks who are looking to discover this genre or just interested in films.

sadly no cannibal genre films!

Rated - 5 starsTrailer Trash!

A customer from Glasgow , 19/10/2007

If you like your films from the gutter then this DVD is for you! Includes classic grindhouse trailers from the 70s and early 80s with titles such as Caged Heat, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, Ilsa Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks and I Spit on Your Grave. Very enjoyable if you are a fan of these kind of films and is essential for anyone interested in seeing these types of film as quite a few of the trailers are for films available on DVD somewhere in the world. Recommended!

It's difficult to review a compliation of trailers, and it's a product really geared for a limited audience. That said - I love all this stuff - exploitation at it's best and worst. There's more blood and nudity here than in an entire year's worth of Channel 5 programming. It's not really a watch-in-one experience, more of a dip in and out affair, since digesting that many quick cuts and disembowelments may take some time. I imagine it's a killer to stick on at parties with like-minded people.
