Review of From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) by Scuffle — 21 Oct 2021

A brilliant Horror crime thriller !!!!!

I rank this move alongside The Lost Boys and Interview With The Vampire as one of the best vampire films ever made.

I was very fortunate enough here in Australia that I did not hear much about this movie upon release. My friend rented it out from our local video store and bought it over to my place. Back then, we only had blank movie covers for new releases when they came out so you didn't see the cover or have the blurb on the back. My mate just said you have to watch this.

I was loving the film as it was and it went it got to the big reveal midway through the film, it blew my mind. From then on it was all gore and vampire violence and I was cheering. I was not expecting that at all.

The movie is very violent but the violence is also met with a lot of humor. I am not the biggest fan of George Clooney, but his character of Seth Gecko remains one of my favorite bad asses in cinema history.

If you love vampire movies with a lot of gore and humour then you must check this out. There is a lot of hilarious quotes to be have which I have quoted several tiles over the years. To me, it's one of the last good vampire movies to be made in years and it came out in 1996.

The movie is directed by Robert Rodriquez who is an amazing director and it's based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino who also stars in the movie as Seth's sleazy murderous brother.
