Gear up for ‘Grindhouse’ at SXSW
Prepping Austin audiences for his and Quentin Tarantino’s splatter-flick tribute “Grindhouse,” Robert Rodriguez is personally presenting a double feature of hardcore exploitation movies on the second night of South by Southwest, 8 p.m. March 10, outside in Republic Square Park.
Rodriguez has handpicked a pair of Italian horror classics, Sergio Martino’s “Torso,” which, we’re told, features a traumatic hacksaw dismemberment segment, and Lucio Fulci’s “Zombie,” which I can attest is worth every sickening sight, including a zombie fighting and biting a real shark underwater. Pure genius.
The show is sponsored by SXSW and the Alamo Downtown. Free with SXSW badge, $10 general. Tickets on sale at noon Feb. 23 at www.originalalamo.com. Beer and food service available at the event.
