"Death Proof"

Plot: A psychopathic ex-stuntman turns his car on attractive, young women. But one group of girls he meets decides to take revenge - Tarantino's contribution to the "grindhouse" cinema of the 70's.

PICTURE QUALITY:
Abysmal - dirty, jittery, unstable picture with pale colors and a grubby overall look. To be fair, we must add that this was done intentionally to mimic the picture quality of the time. The sharpness only reaches DVD level.

(3 out of 10 points)

 

SOUND QUALITY:
Also at grindhouse level - tinny and scratchy-sounding music blasting from car radios. It gets a bit better in the second half of the movie.
