Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
From a match made in heaven comes a movie spawned in hell! Young hotshot director Robert Rodriquez (El Mariachi, Desperado) teamed up with Pulp Fiction auteur Quentin Tarantino (offering his services as writer and co-star) to make this outrageous, no-holds-barred hybrid of high-octane crime and gruesome horror, From Dusk Till Dawn. QT plays Richard Gecko, a borderline psychopath who breaks his career-criminal brother, Seth (George Clooney), out of prison, after which they rob a bank and leave a trail of dead and wounded in their bloody wake. Then they hijack a mobile home driven by a former Baptist minister (Harvey Keitel) who quit the church after his wife's death and hit the road with his two children (played by Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu). Heading to Mexico with their hostages, the infamous Gecko brothers arrive at the Titty Twister bar to rendezvous for a money drop, but they don't realise that they've just entered the nocturnal lair of a bloodthirsty gang of vampires! With not-so-subtle aplomb, Rodriguez and Tarantino shift into high gear with a non-stop parade of gore, gunfire and pointy-fanged mayhem featuring Salma Hayek as a snake-charming dancer whose bite is much worse than her bark. If you're a fan of Tarantino's lyrical dialogue and pop-cultural wit, you'll have fun with the road-movie half of this supernatural horror-comedy, but if your taste runs more to exploding heads and eyeballs, sloppy entrails and morphing monsters, the second half provides a connoisseur's feast of gross-out excess. Bon appétit! --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
A wild action story in which a deranged convict and his brother kidnap a preacher and his two kids and head for the safety of a remote nightclub in Mexico. But... the nightclub is anything but safe...

5.0 out of 5 stars "If you make a noise, Mr. .44 makes a noise...", 8 Nov 2003
By Michael Crane - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: From Dusk Till Dawn [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
Having trouble finding a good vampire flick that's exciting and scary? Looking for something that doesn't abide by regular horror genera rules? "From Dusk Till Dawn" may be the one to choose. With a sizzling screenplay by Quentin Tarantino and perfectly directed by Robert Rodriguez, this is a horror/thriller to remember.

The Gecko brothers are two extremely violent criminals who end up taking a family hostage. The family is forced to drive the notorious brothers to the end of the border. They end up making a pit stop at a Mexican bar, where the brothers are supposed to meet their contact. However, things get out of hand when it turns out that the place is contaminated with vampire strippers and truckers. You add all of those elements together and you get one hell of a ride that you'll never forget.

I'm not the biggest fan of vampires, but I thought this was an EXCELLENT movie. It's unpredictable and exhilarating. You have no idea where the movie will take you until it's all said and done. This is not your ordinary vampire flick, and that's what makes this movie so great. It's a breath of fresh air and so much more.

The acting really makes the movie what it is. George Clooney gives a remarkable performance (this was before he was the big star that he is today). Quentin Tarantino does a great job of contributing dark and chaotic humor to the film with his role. Other major players include Harvey Keitel, Juliet Lewis, Cheech Marin and plenty more. The screenplay by Tarantino is great and never misses a beat. It's packed with snappy dialogue that one would not expect to hear in a horror movie. Rodriguez does an exceptional job of directing as well.

"From Dusk Till Dawn" is a wildly entertaining flick that really stands out from the others. It has some extremely funny moments, as well as some very scary and exciting sequences. This movie pretty much has it all. If you're looking for a horror/thriller movie that isn't like the rest, give this one a try. This is definitely one of my favourites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strange!, 6 Feb 2005
This review is from: From Dusk Till Dawn [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
Before I start this, I would just like to say I dont own the DVD, but I want to comment on the film.

Jesus this is one really weird film. For the first 30 to 60 mins, it seems a gangster, crime, thriller movie with George Cloony and Quentin Tarrentino on the run from the FBI. They then kidnap three people, and force them to help them get to mexico. Once they are in Mexico they go to a bar (it's called the TITTY-TWISTER do I have to say more?) where they wait for a man who can keep them safe.

But while they are waiting there, everyone in the bar turnes out to be vampires! Yeah, Vampires! Someone taped this off the TV, so before I watched it, I had never heard of it, but jesus I really didn't expect that. Frikken VAMPIRES! Then the few un-undead people in the bar, must kill all the vampires, which is where it becomes quite comical. It gets very gory indeed at this bit, so much that it becomes very funny!

Aside from that I really enjoyed this movie! It is a little strange, but it's a good movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars How far can too far go? To the Heights of Brilliance, 20 Jun 2001
By moviemaniac@eircom.net (Castlebridge, Co. Wexford, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Dusk Till Dawn [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
If I was making a list of my top 5 favourite films of all time, this would be in there.This is an absolutely brilliant horror/thriller/action movie.This film benefits from great directing by Robert Rodriguez(The Faculty, Desperado), a fantastic screenplay by Quentin Tarantino(Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs) with lots of really sharp and witty dialogue.It is a fast paced film, from the opening scene in the liquor store to the closing scenes as Good Guys face off to the vampires.I think it is masterful the way Rodriguez transforms this movie from a bad guys on the run movie into a vampire movie.He does it so well, it is a massive shock/surprise when the vampires first show up in the movie.The action in the movie is first rate and top notch, and the gore is abundant and plentiful once the vampire part of the movie starts.The cast is excellent, George Clooney(excellent as the nice but tough bad guy) and Quentin Tarantino(overacts but its funny) do well as the Gecko brothers, on the run from the law.Harvey Keitel is outstanding as the preacher with a loss of faith, Juliette Lewis is good as his daughter, and watch out for Cheech Marin in 3 different roles.Some of the characters other than the main ones in the movie are likeable, such as Sex Machine and Frost. This film is a thrill from start to finish and when it grabs you by the throat it does not let up until the credits roll.I love this film, and have watched it so many times. I cannot recommend this film enough.GO BUY IT NOW,before you miss one of the best action/horror film you'll ever see.
