From dusk till dawn
(1996)
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Starring: Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis
our comment. "I wish fucking Tarantino would keep his star-crazed ass behind the camera..."
A notorious pair of criminal siblings on the run from the Texas rangers kidnap an R.V driving minister and his kids to get into Mexico. Here they plan to meet up with a gangster named Carlos who has promised to hide them from the law... for a price.

Once across the border the unlikely caravan heads for a seedy bar that promises refuge until dawn, but offers something completely different... a horde of bloodsucking vampires.

A very energetic and inventive movie that's loaded with gory fun and hilarious dialogue, and whatever you do stay away from the two sequels; they stink bigtime!

Story: 7/10 - This road movie/splatter flick sure is one schizofrenic piece of work, nonetheless it's quite entertaining and well made. I like that fact that the horror comes as a surprise to the audience as well as the characters.

Acting: 8/10 - Keitel, Clooney and Lewis are all great actors, but I wish fucking Tarantino would keep his star-crazed ass behind the camera where he belongs.

Violence: 10/10 - People are eaten alive and vampires are shot, decapitaded, blown up, impaled, stabbed, burned and melted. Yeah! I guess you could say it's sort of violent.

Nudity: 5/10 - At a bar called the Titty Twister, who would have thought!

Coolness: 10/10 - A wonderfully sick and demented film, with overcool cameos by Tom Savini (with a gun crotch?!), Fred Williamson and B-movie veteran John Saxon.
