Salma Hayek is to die for - By: Ben Dover, 13 Feb 2006
I didn't even know there were two sequels to this, that probably means they're awful. I liked From Dusk 'til Dawn very much, but didn't take it to seriously. In fact it's the only Tarantino movie I like. I think he's too over-rated as a director & writer. He gives me the impression he'd stamp his feet & throw a tantrum if a Hollywood studio said "no" to one of his films. He needs to chill & grow up a little.

FDTD has alll you'd expect in a Tarantino flick: guns, blood, a few gratuitous deaths, more blood, a bit of horror, & oh yes, a multitude of swear words. Tarantino, one-dimensional? Never! Oh I almost forgot women, more specificallly scantily clad women. And for me, this movie has one highlight: the dance Salma Hayek does with the snake & the wine. Maybe it's just me, but I think those few tender minutes have more eroticism, more passion, more sensuality, than exists in the entire porn industry to-date. She is just...sublime. Magnifique! So I was a bit disappointed when, a few minutes later, she turns into a vampire & subsequently gets staked through the heart. Alas, we never see her again. Boooooo!

It is a good movie, & worth watching again & again just for the ride. But if blood & gore, deaths, murders & schlock horror turn you off, don't buy it.

1 great film, 2 minors. - By: , 06 May 2003
The first time I saw From Dusk Till Dawn, I thought I was watching a different film. The reviews said 'Vampire movie' I was not watching a vampire movie. at least, I didn't think so.
Which is probably what makes the film so bizarre. You are convinced that it is your standard crime movie. Until that fateful moment when...
Ok, I won't spoil it. Excellent CGI effects make this a superbly presented vampire film, different from alll others.
The sequels are definitely worth watching, but neither can match the first.
The third film, The Hangman's daughter, is basicallly a remake of the first. It has a very similar storyline. The second film is not bad, but the lack of Rodriguez' & Tarantino's contributions are its downfalll!
Everybody should at least own the first episode of these fine films, & if you like that one, buy the rest.
