	The Aisle Seat - The Devil's Rejects
		Whereas House of 1000 Corpses was like an old grindhouse horror show, this new film is more influenced by the “antiheroes on the run” sub-genre of grindhouse cinema.
		I gave the film three stars, calling it “a legitimate achievement in horror filmmaking.” Apparently audiences were hip to Zombie’s intentions too, because the movie surpassed all box office expectations to become a minor cult hit.

		There are other movies that have animal cruelty that are out, such as Cannibal Ferox, in fact, grindhouse also released that DVD as well.

	Grindhouse cinema
		Grindhouse moves giddily through the decades, passing from '30s "road to ruin" pix to the '40s burlesque and dope films, and into the '50s, when grindhouses became "art houses." The two strains collided in 1955 when huckster Kroger Babb bought the U.S. rights to Ingmar Bergman's Summer with Monika.
		A grindhouse is a theater that shows exploitation films; it is also used as an adjective to describe the kind of films that would play in such a theatre.
		And before the grindhouse, the ticket takers for carnival sideshows tried to lure customers with extravagant promises of sights beyond the imaginable--such as film of an exotic dancer, or a real birth, or the effects of venereal disease.

	Exploitation film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some of the earliest exploitation films were pitched as sensationalist exposés of some drug or sex-related scandal, and were made independently of the major Hollywood studios, thus avoiding restrictions of the Production Code and providing a revenue source for independent theaters.
		Another term is grindhouse cinema; referring to the usually-disreputable movie theaters that showed them.
		Evidence of exploitation films' influence on contemporary cinema is mirrored in films such as Kill Bill by director Quentin Tarantino, who is a declared lover of exploitation cinema.

		The innovative puppet shows of the Grindhouse Marionettes combine theater, burlesque, silent film, dance, folktales, and slapstick comedy.
		The Grindhouse Marionettes are a human puppet troupe, but like Japanese Bunraku puppetry, in which the puppets interact with the visible puppeteers, the human marionettes not only play out scenarios with fellow marionettes, they react to and provoke the manipulators who control their strings from above.
		The Grindhouse Marionettes will be performing this November 6, 2005 at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA and on November 29, 2005 at the Abbey Lounge in Cambridge, MA.

	Amazon.com: Grindhouse: The Forbidden World of "Adults Only" Cinema: Books: Eddie Muller,Daniel Faris
		As historically responsible scribes, the pair recognizes the role of such big-budget, more hard-core movies as Deep Throat in the demise of the grindhouse genre and recounts how a film now considered a genuine classic, Tod Browning's Freaks, was once double-billed with classic trash like Wages of Sin and Reefer Madness.
		Grindhouse is a sexy and sardonic romp through the history of "adults only" cinema, from the roadshows and "hygiene" movies of the '30s, to the burlesque and vice movies of the '40s, to the Scandinavian Invasion of the '70s.
		Possessed of some reference value for collocating the many titles under which the same sleazy shows were repeatedly recycled, the book's most endearing aspect may be its many illustrations--a rogue's gallery of cheesy publicity for cheesier flickers.

		Just as the drive-in movies of the fifties have earned a fond reception by film cultists harking back to ‘better times’, so it is with the ‘grindhouse’.
		Rehashing the abduction angle and providing a typically depressing vision here is arch exploitation which as much defines the grindhouse mold as enjoin with it.
		The Bottom Line Sleazy, downbeat and depressing, The Candy Snatchers is a classic and conclusively typical example of the utter grime which issued from The Grindhouse in the early 70's.

		today's post is on Maniac - a film that played NYC's 42nd St. during it's grindhouse theater days...
		"The grindhouse "classic" Maniac (1980) is as schizo as its title character, vacillating wildly between scenes of brutality and hilarity (though the former leaves far more of an impression -- the word "pornographic" is often used to describe the movie's approach to violence).
		fourfour includes info on 42nd St's history and shots of Maniac "on the marquee of the Lyric, a 42nd St. grindhouse theater devoted to the kind of depravity Maniac offered." cool stuff - check it out!
