Grindhouse

"Grindhouse" refers to a style of filmmaking that emulates the low-budget, exploitation movies popular in the 1970s, often characterized by gritty aesthetics, provocative themes, and intentionally sensational content. It typically involves a double feature of two obscure or campy films, sometimes with added stylistic flourishes like intentionally degraded visuals or faux trailers. While it celebrates a rebellious, underground film culture, modern "grindhouse" films often pay homage to or parody this aesthetic, blending horror, action, and exploitation genres for an intentionally raw, provocative experience.
