I loved this film for many reasons. For one, the switch from a crime thriller to a horror thriller was seamless. I for one had not heard much about this film before I watched it, and I assumed the TV... Read more at imdb.com

Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk till Dawn combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin vampires, and some funny humor from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it has Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino... Read more at imdb.com

Critics of "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" often dismiss it as grade Z-slasher tripe, however the film is really two separate but equal genres (hard boiled crime drama and B-horror comedy) scotch taped together. Definitely not everyone's cup o' cinematic joe,... Read more at imdb.com
What could have been an excellent hostage movie was totally ruined by what apparently looks like a bored director ... there were so many directions that the movie could have taken ... a vampire slash-fest was not one of these!!!... Read more at imdb.com

But all seem perfectly aware they're in a movie, and a bad movie at that.
The movie drags terribly until they arrive at the bar, your typical movie biker hangout from hell (think "Road Warrior" meets strip joint), introduced in an unoriginal music video-style sequence.

complete From Dusk Till Dawn review by Chris) From Dusk Till Dawn Movie Review by Ben (7/16/2007) I can't believe I have missed commenting on the very enjoyable film.
Sexy and magnetic like the best Tarantino films and awesomely creative like the best Rodriguez flicks, this is the best meshing of the two masters thus far.

I wish Tarantino would get over the fascination of hearing his own dialogue, although I must admit he seems to have found his perfect role as a demented pervert with a heart of coal.
These two filmmakers may be best buddies (and they are), but their styles just don't seem to match sometimes: Tarantino's penchant for long, drawn-out scenes doesn't fit with Rodriguez's quick cutting style.

Pay close attention to the other bar patrons, including the blaxploitation flick hero Fred Williamson and cult horror special effects guy, Tom Savini, as "Sex Machine".
It's a seriously tongue in cheek affair, with no concessions to plausibility or taste; a hilariously gory film in a similar vein to Peter Jackson's Braindead and Bad Taste , but with the trademark Tarantino style that makes it ooze cool.

That is why I am willing to stand up and say I enjoyed FROM DUSK TILL DAWN .
Then, at the last moment, Tarantino pulls that infamous PSYCHO switch, turning FROM DUSK TILL DAWN into an out and out horror movie.
