From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
In this action-horror flick from director Robert Rodriguez and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino stars with George Clooney as a pair of bad-to-the-bone brothers named Seth and Richie Gecko. After a string of robberies that left a river of blood in the Geckos' wake, the sadistic siblings head to Mexico to live the good life. To get over the border, they kidnap Jacob Fuller, a widowed preacher played by Harvey Keitel, and his two children, Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). Once south of the border, the quintet park their RV at a rough-and-tumble trucker bar called The Titty Twister, where Seth and Richie are supposed to meet a local thug. After a couple of drinks, they realize that they're not in a typical bar, as the entire place begins to teem with vicious, blood-sucking vampires. With the odds stacked greatly against them, the Fullers and Geckos team together in hopes of defeating the creatures of the night. Makeup artist Tom Savini and blaxploitation star Fred Williamson appear as allies against the vampires, and Cheech Marin fills three different roles. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
From Dusk Till Dawn: Full-Tilt Boogie (1997)
The filmization of Quentin Tarantino's first script, with television actor George Clooney in his first starring feature-film role, Robert "El Mariachi" Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) was a campy action horror thriller that became a major box-office hit. This off-beat documentary from Sarah Kelly covers the making of the explosive feature from an unusually intimate angle that will please not only fans of the principal cast and the director, but also those interested in the nuts and bolts of making a big-budget feature. Kelly goes to great length to see that seldom-seen crew members get a chance to shine as well as the stars. She also looks at what goes on after a day's shoot and records the crew and cast responding to various setbacks, like desert sandstorms, and catastrophes such as a botched explosion that nearly destroyed an entire set. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

| I've been reading the reviews here and I just have to point something out. It seems to me this is a perfect example of a love/hate film for one reason, and that is the sudden plot change from a crime/gangster movie to campy horror and vampires. Now personally, I loved it because it completely catches you off guard. Granted I knew about the vampires beforehand and I only wish I had seen this movie without knowing anything about it. You have to open your mind up and just be entertained. This may seem pretentious but the film breaks barriers and conventions because of the radical change. How many movies switch genres half-way through and offer the possibility of any character being killed? Horror movies lately have the characters you know will survive and the minor characters you are just waiting to see bite the dust. This combined with the first half of Tarantino's script work very well together..in an odd way.. |

Rent a sense of humor!!
This movie ranks with Night of the Living Dead and its two movies in one! Tarantino is the perfect psycho killer. |

This movie sucked!!! (And not in a good vampire way.) Usually, if it has a vampire in it, I like it. I also like George Clooney and find Cheech Marin hilarious. I've been enjoying horror movies since I was 9 or 10 years old. So you'd think I'd like From Dusk till Dawn. Wrong.
The movie fell apart after they entered the bar. From then on, all you saw were half naked women or bodies slashed into bloody pulps. As Hneline1 states, the plot just disappeared. Maybe if the bar had been filled with almost naked men instead of women, I might have liked it better. I doubt it. My advice is: Don't bring a date if you are going to insist on watching this movie. |
