This year at SXSW, there will be a special screening of the upcoming film by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, Grindhouse. A month ago, SXSW put out a call to film makers to submit a mock trailer of a fictitious exploitation movie. Rodriguez will review all of the submissions, and the top trailer will open up at this special presentation of Grindhouse.

For the layman, an exploitation film is generally characterized as a movie featuring excessive sex, drugs and violence. Think El Mariachi and Sin City, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Anyway, my buddy Nate got together with some of his co-workers from Superfad and pulled some long nights these past few weeks producing their submission for this contest.

Titled Maiden of Death, it hints at a plot involving a young punk rocker who’s brutally raped and murdered. Making a deal with the Devil, she returns to life as an avenging angel wielding a shotgun/chainsaw Gibson. At one point the maiden cuts a car in half with her guitar and the final shot shows her pounding out a power ballad on top of a mound of corpses.

Its completely over the top, and its one of the best Grindhouse trailers posted to YouTube. Enjoy!
