#3. Grindhouse (2007)

Storyline: A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics.

#9. Vampyres (2015)

Storyline: Introducing a devilish new spin to the sexy, twisted 1974 cult classic by Joseph Larraz. Vampyres is an up-and-coming remake roaring with raw eroticism, wicked sado-masochistic behavior and bloody, yet all so necessary, creative gore! Victor Matellano (Wax, 2014, Zarpazos! A Journey through Spanish Horror, 2013) directs this allegory set in a regal English manor occupied by two older female vampires and a man they have under lock & key in their basement. Their lives and lifestyle are suddenly turned upside down when three meddlesome campers come upon their lair seeking to uncover their dark secrets; a decision that has unexpected sexual but highly blood-curdling consequences.—Vincent Quinn Knight
