Death Proof (2007) has no socially redeeming values at all, it is trashy, exploitative and violent, Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) is conniving and despicable. All and all a perfect Grindhouse film your parents would hate.
The film is in the middle of Tarantino's filmography, it comes after his early successes: Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill vol 1 & 2 and has all the director's trademark touches such as extended dialog with an underlying tension along with unexpected violence.
In the 1970's before CGI, car crashes and stunts were done with modified "death-proof" cars, so a driver could survive high-speed crashes and collisions. Stuntman Mike uses his car for a more nefarious purpose, to kill teenage girls, preferably while they are driving. He is as nasty as they come.
The film's second half is where the rubber meets the road when Mike tries his antics on three girls who will not back down. The car chases are for real and just as dangerous as they look. Real life stuntwoman Zoe Bell hangs on for dear life. Zoe was also the stunt double for Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill films.
Death Proof has been artificially aged, the film is weathered, discolored, and scratched with jagged jump cuts to mimic the wear-and-tear on an old film print that was damaged and repaired. I can imagine a person streaming Death Proof in 20 years not knowing anything about Quentin Tarantino and thinking they just discovered an authentic 1970's drive-in movie.
Tarantino is the writer, director and cinematographer, the film is his inspired re-telling of a classic exploitation slasher film. Rent it for your kids if you dare.
