VHS Movie Reviews of From Dusk Till Dawn [VHS]
Movie Review: I honestly don't understand how someone could dislike this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a movie with a great cast, this is it: George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, consistently hilarious Cheech Marin, Juliette Lewis, Fred Williamson, the gorgeous Salma Hayek, Quentin Tarantino, Danny Trejo (who, like Luis Guzman, always makes a movie better), legendary makeup artist Tom Savini (aka Sex Machine), and Kelly Preston even has a bit part! Some may not be fans of Tarantino as an actor, but there is no denying that the power this cast has easily overshadows Tarantino's limits, and would probably even cover for Keanu Reeves. Maybe.
If you want a visceral gore-fest, this is it: vampire parts fly in gory, green explostions; whole people explode, arms and next get gouged, stakes get rammed, and there's even a scene where Fred Williamson literally rips out a person's heart. This is a graphically violent film for the lovers of over the top violence. If your primary reason for watching CSI is SPECIFICALLY to see blood spatter (read: blood showers), then this might be up your alley.
If you want a surreal, exploitative movie made explicitly for the thrills, this is it: a Holy Water super-soaker, vampires of all shapes and sizes, a penis-revolver, a shotgun/table leg cross, perhaps the most attractive collection of hookers and dancers ever seen (especially in a grungy P.O.S. bar just over the U.S. - Mexican border), and a corpse guitar are enough to cause a laugh-riot and sensory overload, sure to satiate even the most impatient movie-goer.
If you want action-adventure, this is it: Psychopathic and violent, Brothers Seth (Clooney) and Richard (Tarantino) Gecko are wreaking havoc on their way towards a rendezvous with their contact in a run-down Mexican strip-joint/brothel/bar. Along the way they murder and pillage, then take a family - Jakob Fuller (Keitel), daughter Kate (Lewis), and Jakob's adopted son - hostage to add the tension. Determining who will survive the ordeal is difficult as is, but when the group finally descends upon the "Titty Twister" (the bar), and the vampire strippers and truckers begin to show their teeth, the action goes to eleven almost immediately after pulling up a barstool.
Add in Tarantino's famous tongue-twisting dialogue and nearly perfect screenplay, direction from Robert Rodriguez that keeps the movie rocking, superb camerawork, extras pouring out of the DVD case (commentary from Tarantino and Rodriguez, music videos, deleted scenes, bios, etc.), and THE most seductive table-top dance scene in movie history (courtesy of Salma Hayek), and the result is one best guilty pleasure movies ever made, and just a great time overall. I actually pity you if you can't shut the critical analysis portion of your brain off long enough to enjoy this movie.
Summary of From Dusk Till Dawn [VHS]
It's nonstop thrills when George Clooney (THE PERFECT STORM, THREE KINGS) and Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) star as the Gecko brothers -- two dangerous outlaws on a wild crime spree! After kidnapping a father (Harvey Keitel -- U-571) and his two kids (including Juliette Lewis -- NATURAL BORN KILLERS), the Geckos head south to a seedy Mexican bar to hide out in safety. But when they face the bar's truly notorious clientele, they're forced to team up with their hostages in order to make it out alive!From a match made in heaven comes a movie spawned in hell! Young hotshot director Robert Rodriquez (El Mariachi, Desperado) teamed up with Pulp Fiction auteur Quentin Tarantino (offering his services as writer and co-star) to make this outrageous, no-holds-barred hybrid of high-octane crime and gruesome horror. QT plays Richard Gecko, a borderline psychopath who breaks his career-criminal brother, Seth (George Clooney), out of prison, after which they rob a bank and leave a trail of dead and wounded in their bloody wake. Then they hijack a mobile home driven by a former Baptist minister (Harvey Keitel) who quit the church after his wife's death and hit the road with his two children (played by Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu). Heading to Mexico with their hostages, the infamous Gecko brothers arrive at the Titty Twister bar to rendezvous for a money drop, but they don't realize that they've just entered the nocturnal lair of a bloodthirsty gang of vampires! With not-so-subtle aplomb, Rodriguez and Tarantino shift into high gear with a nonstop parade of gore, gunfire, and pointy-fanged mayhem featuring Salma Hayek as a snake-charming dancer whose bite is much worse than her bark. If you're a fan of Tarantino's lyrical dialogue and pop-cultural wit, you'll have fun with the road-movie half of this supernatural horror-comedy, but if your taste runs more to exploding heads and eyeballs, sloppy entrails and morphing monsters, the second half provides a connoisseur's feast of gross-out excess. Bon app?tit! --Jeff Shannon
