Planet Terror (2007): 7 stars

I said I’d start exploitation cinema at 0 stars, right?  So:

0 stars, with
+1 for Michael Biehn, and
+3 for gleefully exploiting the genre without exploiting the audience, and
+1 for Bruce Willis, and
+1 for the shocking anti-gun moment in an otherwise pro-gun movie, though
+1 extra for Rodriguez hiding this from his son, despite
-1 for the sickening use of meat throughout, except
+1 because I’m fairly confident it was meant ironically

Recommendation: Buy it
