All that "Grind House" was'nt !
2 March 2009
HORROR GRINDSHOW DOUBLE FEATURE A Ron Ford & Mac Cobb flick. With Jackson Bostwick & Wes Deitrick

This a obvious labor of love and something for all-genre video geeks to eat up ! Okay, Lets get the mean comments out of the way…These 2 films are totally different by accident or on purpose, First one (Twist Of A Vampire) comes off as nostalgic and something from a kindler-gentler era, Second( The Road) is gritty-vicious and takes no prisoners. Do these films jell together , NO, But they are entertaining and at a theatre one would warn parents that violence goes from pg13 to R, Almost building to climax of gore. ( Ed.note- Hey in "Grindhouse",Death Proof and Planet Terror didn't jive either, Hmm.)

"Twist" has some tributes to Darren McGavin, A death scene from Dark Shadows and a nice surprise ending.

"Road" has very scary moments and some awesome effects with headless, dismembering and ooze.

Stars: Jackson Bostwick ( TV's Captain Marvel & TRON),Ron Ford ( TIKI) and Wes Deitrick( Home Of The Brave) are used well and enjoyed the witty scripts. To add to The 'Grind House' genre, There are trailers for Crawling Brain/Paint Drying: The Movie/Hollywood Mortuary and Ho Ho Homicidal.

Extras include: Trailer and interviews, Hey how can you interview Mac Cobb( Nasty S. O.B.) and not Jackson Bostwick ?
