Review of From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) by Scritty — 28 Jan 2019

It's a B movie. It makes no bones about it. At no point does it look in on itself and pretend to be high art, or to have lasting message. It's tittilation, schlock and some gore. It's playground humor and as such very self aware of that.

If judged as high art - it fails. If judged by standards of the horrors of modern political correctness - it fails.

Judged as a B movie schlock horror. A film of its time that hails back to movies 10, 20 and 30 years older (like the Grace JOnes curio "Vamp").

Then it succeeds.

It isn't the best movie ever. But if you know what you are getting (and just a quick look at the cover or read of the tag lines should tell you that) It's pretty good.

Reading many of the "professional" critics (For professional critics read "Political ideologues paid to pollute the chattersphere with a monotone regressive message) it's clear many mark this film down on purely idological reasons based on the very tightly defined political views that seem to be the only accepted currency in the rapidly vanishing and increasingly impotent and self obsessed "main stream media". That's a shame, but until the MSM burns itself out as it doubles down year on year with its hugely unpopular political agenda, that's just where the world is.

Side note; Read the Vox review minutes before I wrote this, Then Google pointed me to associated news items such as Disney writing off 300 million it put into Vox only last year and the 15% of staff they are laying off next week. Two catastrophic events that will undoubtedly lead their idologically blinkered leaders to double down on their failed strategy yet again. And give the next fim that isn't laden with socialist messgaes a poor score.

But as virtually no-one watches or reads MSM in any form any more.
