This journey to hell, which includes a steamy strip number by sultry performer Santanico Pandemonium ("Desperado's" Salma Hayek), provocative special effects and out-of-the-stratosphere violence, manages to be as gruesome as it is dull.
FROM DUSK TIL DAWN SALMA HAYEK FULL
Without giving too much away, the gunmen and family are about to experience the most horrifying nightmare of their lives, one full of violent vampires, relentless bats, decayed denizens of hell-you know, the usual crowd. While Seth keeps his depraved brother from pawing Fuller's teenage daughter (Juliette Lewis), the group heads across the border for a rendezvous with a certain "Carlos" at a strip joint whose name should go unmentioned in a family newspaper. The fugitives, who want to escape to Mexico with their stolen money, commandeer a mobile home with new hostages: Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel), a preacher who has recently lost his faith, and his two children. And that's just the beginning of the movie. When paranoid brother Richard thinks the storekeeper is signaling the Ranger, the scene ends in a bloodbath and conflagration. While the Ranger chats casually with the petrified storekeeper, the criminals hold two hostages at gunpoint in the back. But the movie, which features two killers on the lam, a family held hostage and a Mexican bar full of vampires and varmints, is gratuitously nasty, even for the likes of Tarantino.Īrmed robbers Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his softspoken, psychotic brother Richard (Tarantino) find themselves cornered in a convenience store when an unsuspecting Texas Ranger wanders in. It's often witty, in a grotesque kind of way and, by its own peculiar standards, it's occasionally inventive. "From Dusk Till Dawn," a grisly, quasi-comedy directed by Robert Rodriguez (who made "El Mariachi" and "Desperado"), has a propulsive, pseudo-hip metabolism. And unfortunately, Quentin Tarantino is what we deserve. But after watching "From Dusk Till Dawn," which Tarantino scripted and appears in, that thought has become unmistakably clear: Quentin Tarantino is the antichrist. George Clooney Harvey Keitel Quentin Tarantino Juliette Lewis Salma Hayek Ernest Liu Fred Williamson Cheech MarinĪ very troubling yet indistinct thought has been rising to the top of my cluttered brain with each Quentin Tarantino movie. The gunmen and family are about to experience the most horrifying nightmare of their lives, one full of violent vampires and relentless bats.

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.Armed robbers Seth Gecko and his softspoken, psychotic brother Richard find themselves cornered in a convenience store when an unsuspecting Texas Ranger wanders in. 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 realize 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 nonstop parade of gore, gunfire, and pointy-fanged mayhem featuring Salma Hayek as a snake-charming dancer whose bite is much worse than her bark. 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). 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.
FROM DUSK TIL DAWN SALMA HAYEK MOVIE
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.
