Grindhouse City - Exit to Hell (2013)


Synopsis: A gang get more than they bargain for when they visit a small border town under the protection of lawman, Slade Sickle.

The Good: This movie is filmed and cut like an old school grindhouse flick. There are a few scenes that do a grindhouse film damage cut instead of showing gore and it works fantastically. Kane Hodder does a great job as the lawman. I also enjoy Dan Higgins as the creepy old gas station owner.

The Bad: This is a grindhouse flick. It's not good. It's exploitative. Also, this is one of those flicks that you really don't have sympathy for anyone. There are no good people in this flicks, so you don't really care when folks die.

Final Thoughts: This was a fun modern grindhouse flick. Normally when you see a big horror name on some indie flick like this, they aren't in the film much. This isn't one of those movies though. Kane's in the movie a decent amount and is the central villain (though there are no heroes). 

In Your Game: Kane Hodder's character is a perfect npc for a project idea I have. I'm calling it Grindhouse City. It's going to be a grindhouse themed supplement Vigilante City.

Sheriff Slade Sickle
Armor Class: 12                      Attack Damage: By Weapon

While he can terrorize, Slade has a +4 to rolls to calm folks and make them believe he's a true officer of the law (until he reveals his true nature).
