Of course it don’t make no sense! Look on the label, you see “sense” written there? This movie is made of: beer, violence, rock and roll, titties, action, whiskey shots, gore, trucks, pussy, swear words, motorcycles, duct tape, and greasy fajitas guaranteed to give you the shits in the morning. Come to that, not even the vampires stay true to form at least two of them transform into. What was a crime thriller now becomes a desperate battle for survival, as the robbers and hostages at the center of Team Human wage war on Team Vampire until the sun comes up. They make it to “the Titty Twister,” (dude flick cheer!) a bar in Mexico, where they’ll hole up until morning to meet their connection to safe South American passage.īut then suddenly a vampire movie happens! The Titty Twister is a vampire nest operating out of an ancient Mayan temple disguised as a rowdy bar, and they just transform into fangy chompy critters at the same time every night to snack on the patrons. The Gecko brothers meet a small family with a motor home, which is just the ride they need to bluff across the Mexican border, so that’s how they end up taking an ex-minister (Harvey Keitel) and his two kids hostage, forcing them to smuggle the robbers. for awhile, and aside from an early confrontation at a liquor store and newscasters referencing their off-screen train of carnage from their recent heist, there’s very little blood shed on-screen. There’s an uneasy tension between them Seth is a professional thief with standards of his own and only kills when circumstances force his hand, while Richard is a psychotic pervert who will kill just as easily for fun, but who also broke Seth out of prison last time, so Seth owes him one. So the Gecko brothers, Seth (George Clooney) and Richard (Quentin Tarantino), are bank robbers on the lam headed through Texas for the Mexican border. never mind.ĭraw Me A Beer And I’ll Tell You The Plot For you non-horror fans, that was a reference to. Like a human centipede, the cast is dumped out the exit of one into the entrance of the other midway through. It’s the back half of a horror movie, sewn to the front half of an action-crime thriller. Of course, it’s not proper to call From Dusk Till Dawn a horror movie. Here he gets to play the smug role of “Sex Machine,” a biker packing a double-barrel six-shooter codpiece. The main horror alumnus out of the cast is Tom Savini, a horror veteran with a devilish grin who is better known for his makeup and special-effects work than his acting. What more can you say about From Dusk Till Dawn than “It’s a dude flick”? It’s written by the dudest dude-flick maker that ever duded, Quentin Tarantino, and directed by Robert Rodriguez, who has a couple other horror features under his belt but isn’t intent on this particular genre. ( waves to horror culture outsiders entering through Google searches) Hello, non-horror fan visitors! Welcome to the dungeon, we got fun and games! Just don’t play any with the creepy puppet dude, he plays for keepsies. It’s refreshing to review a horror movie with some mainstream appeal for a change. One night is all that stands between them and freedom.
