The salacious and uproarious hit of the Film Festival circuit, American Grindhouse explores the hidden history of the American exploitation film. From the tents of carnie roadshows of the early 20th Century to Nudie Cuties, blood-soaked gore fests, biker flicks, blaxploitation and beyond - American Grindhouse takes a fascinating look at the films, the filmmakers, shysters and hustlers who make it all happen. Narrated by Academy Award nominee Robert Forster, American Grindhouse boasts exclusive interviews with Herschell Gordon Lewis, Joe Dante, Larry Cohen, John Landis, Fred Williamson and many, many more! This brand new DVD includes over 2 hours of hilarious outtakes, classic grindhouse trailers and long lost, never-before-seen interviews rescued from the vaults and included here for the first time ever.
