What to Expect

It’s refreshing to review a horror movie with some mainstream appeal for a change. (waves to horror culture outsiders entering through Google searches) Hello, non-horror fan visitors! Welcome to the dungeon, we got fun and games! Just don’t play any with the creepy puppet dude, he plays for keepsies. What more can you say about From Dusk Till Dawn than “It’s a dude flick”? It’s written by the dudest dude-flick maker that ever duded, Quentin Tarantino, and directed by Robert Rodriguez, who has a couple other horror features under his belt but isn’t intent on this particular genre.

Critic Reviews:

Robert Rodriguez pushes the envelope but fails to make any lasting impression except revulsion at the spectacle of acclaimed independent filmmakers wasting their talents on such trash.

– The Hollywood Reporter

In a lot of ways, From Dusk Till Dawn hints at the over-the-top antics that would come in Tarantino's Kill Bill. It's relentless, gory, and a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

– Classic-Horror.com

Yet the reason From Dusk Till Dawn entertains is because it never takes itself seriously. The film is steeped in wit, parody, and offbeat humor.
