If you have the guts to face beasts and bare bodies, come explore the hidden history of the American exploitation film. This doc digs deep into this often overlooked category of U.S. cinema and unearths the shameless and occasionally shocking origins of this popular entertainment. Exploitation cinema has left an indelible mark on American culture, and this informative and amusing documentary proves that its principles and popularity endure to this day.
Narrated by Robert Forster, AMERICAN GRINDHOUSE boasts an incredible list of interviewees, many of whom are speaking on-camera for the first time. The list includes Larry Cohen, Joe Dante, Don Edmonds, David Hess, Jack Hill, Jonathan Kaplan, John Landis, Herschell Gordon Lewis, William Lustig, Ted V. Mikels, Kim Morgan, Eddie Muller, Lewis Teague and Fred Williamson.
Get ready to have your brain's ass kicked.
For these special screenings, we'll be running 13 minutes of exclusive outtake interviews following the closing credits! DO NOT MISS!
