Product Description

Review

From Dusk Till Dawn is a voraciously vulgar and violent film that illustrates how talented filmmakers can create a deliberately bad movie. Scripted by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez (Desperado), the film can best be described as a Mexican road picture turned self-conscious vampathon with a droll postmodern slant. Remarkably, the narrative consists of two contrasting types of films crudely soldered together. The story begins as a Pulp Fiction-type gangster tale featuring the sharp and profane dialogue seen in Tarantino's other films. Then with no warning, the movie suddenly transforms into a zany, vampire bloodbath similar to the tongue-in-cheek horror works of Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson. However, Tarantino is able to turn the genre on its undead ear, creating an over-the-top gorefest featuring holy-water condom balloons, quadruple impalement, and Harvey Keitel sucking blood as a preacher-turned-vampire. This bold and bizarre Tarantino/Rodriguez effort is laden with frenetic editing and fresh dialogue, but all style and cinematic skill fall to the wayside when the body count abruptly begins. This is a tour de force of outrageous bad taste coupled with delicious talent. Those who relish the work of Quentin Tarantino will certainly find merit in the first half of the film. Others who consider themselves horror aficionados will go bloody crazy over the eventual monster mash. ~ Adam Goldberg, All Movie Guide

Synopsis

In this action-horror flick from director Robert Rodriguez and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino stars with George Clooney as a pair of bad-to-the-bone brothers named Seth and Richie Gecko. After a string of robberies that left a river of blood in the Geckos' wake, the sadistic siblings head to Mexico to live the good life. To get over the border, they kidnap Jacob Fuller, a widowed preacher played by Harvey Keitel, and his two children, Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). Once south of the border, the quintet park their RV at a rough-and-tumble trucker bar called The Titty Twister, where Seth and Richie are supposed to meet a local thug. After a couple of drinks, they realize that they're not in a typical bar, as the entire place begins to teem with vicious, blood-sucking vampires. With the odds stacked greatly against them, the Fullers and Geckos team together in hopes of defeating the creatures of the night. Makeup artist Tom Savini and blaxploitation star Fred Williamson appear as allies against the vampires, and Cheech Marin fills three different roles. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

2.0 out of 5 stars Yikes, this is BARE BONES!, Dec 31 2008
By B. Clark "Standing O" (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Scene, audio and subtitle selections are all you get with this Blu-ray release of From Dusk till Dawn. It doesn't bother me that much, as I hardly ever view special features. But seriously, nothing??

The transfer is okay, but really could've benefited from complete remaster. There is noticeable dust and clutter in various parts of the movie. Having said that, it is a marginal improvement over the Dimension DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun gore fest, dialogue, Blu-Ray should include special features, Jan 2 2009
The film was played on a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV and LG BH200 Combo Player.

The PQ was a 4/5, with some imperfections,and I give the sound a 5/5. The film itself was a 3.5/5, for me. The DTS Master Audio worked for this film, with powerful and articulate sound for the "blow 'em up" scenes, and subtle sound audible throughout the film.

The film thrusts unlikely characters into an even more unlikely situations. The crisis of consciousness of the dad in this situation, in reversing his position of his religious beliefs is both humorous, and core to the film, which has many religious undertones. The son and daughter are both eccentric and Clooney and Tarantino are convincing as the con-men on a mission to flee the country. The combination of music, Selma Hayek's dance performance, with the snake, and the other supporting characters provide a realistic backdrop for this Vampire comedy.

Very entertaining, and great price for the Blu-Ray. A worthwhile addition, if you like Rodriguez, and the actors, and definitely enjoyabl e from a sound perspective.
