Tonight's reel from the booth — what we'd queue up first if you only stayed for one feature.
Blaxploitation · 1973 · Dir. Jack Hill
Coffy
Pam Grier, a sawed-off shotgun, and every pusher in town with a target on his back. This is the picture that defines the grindhouse: funk score, razor blades in the afro, and a third-reel reckoning that earned every cent of its 42nd Street ticket. Pure midnight-movie heat.
- The breakout that turned Pam Grier into the queen of 1970s exploitation
- Roy Ayers' funk score — the only soundtrack worth playing twice through the lobby
- Restored from the original 1.85:1 negative for our midnight slot

How it works
Owning a piece of the grindhouse, in four steps.
Planet Grindhouse is part streaming service, part marketplace — restoring classic grindhouse cinema and bankrolling the next wave of exploitation, blaxploitation, biker, kung fu, slasher and giallo alongside the fans who love them.
01
Browse the marquee
Wander the six lanes — Exploitation & Revenge, Blaxploitation, Biker & Outlaw, Kung Fu, Slasher & Splatter, and Italian Giallo. Watch the trailer, read the program notes, see exactly what each restoration or new production needs.
02
Park your stake
Back a single picture or spread your ticket across the whole double-bill slate. Minimums start at $25 — you choose how big a piece of the screen you own.
03
We run the projector
An SEC-compliant funding portal handles the offering, escrow, and reporting. All-or-nothing: funds only release when a picture hits its goal before the credits roll.
04
Earn from every showing
Films stream on Planet Grindhouse and across licensing partners. Backers get revenue share, snack-bar perks, on-screen credits, and quarterly statements from the booth.
Filmmaker spotlight
"Every studio told me a 16mm nun-with-a-switchblade revenge picture was unreleasable. Planet Grindhouse was the only place that said, 'shoot it dirtier, cut it meaner, and leave the blood in.'"

The Production Diary.
Members see this feed in full — dailies, on-set Polaroids, director's notes, restoration scans. Public previews below.
On set
Day 18 of 26Tarantula Hawk
Practical effects unit shot the canyon attack tonight — a 14-foot puppet rig, four operators, no CGI. Dust, hydraulic oil, and one very startled wrangler. The dailies look like 1957 in the best possible way.
Post
Picture lockSaucers Over Sundown
Final cut delivered to scoring. We've handed it to a four-piece theremin-and-Hammond ensemble for the score — the whole second act is going to sound like 1957 staring up at the night sky.
Restoration
4K restorationThe Blob (1958)
Sound team rebuilt the original optical track from a single surviving studio reel. Bacharach's theme has never sounded this clean coming out of a speaker pole.
Delivery
Festival cutLast Stage to Perdition
Locked the 102-minute cut for the Saturn Awards screener. Submitting next month to Fantastic Fest, Sitges, and a midnight slot at the Grindhouse Academy Awards.
