DVD Synopsis

In this action-horror flick from director Robert Rodriguez and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino stars with George Clooney as a pair of bad-to-the-bone brothers named Seth and Richie Gecko. After a string of robberies that left a river of blood in the Geckos' wake, the sadistic siblings head to Mexico to live the good life. To get over the border, they kidnap Jacob Fuller, a widowed preacher played by Harvey Keitel, and his two children, Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). Once south of the border, the quintet park their RV at a rough-and-tumble trucker bar called The Titty Twister, where Seth and Richie are supposed to meet a local thug. After a couple of drinks, they realize that they're not in a typical bar, as the entire place begins to teem with vicious, blood-sucking vampires. With the odds stacked greatly against them, the Fullers and Geckos team together in hopes of defeating the creatures of the night. Makeup artist Tom Savini and blaxploitation star Fred Williamson appear as allies against the vampires, and Cheech Marin fills three different roles. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Oh my gosh. What a horrible movie. If you are someone who likes gory guts spraying everywhere you will love this movie. It was actually two stories in one. The first part is about two brothers, one a bank robber and the other a psychopathic rapist, killer. They elude the police and cross over into Mexico with a family they hold hostage in an RV and go to a roadhouse. Here is where the title comes in, From Dusk to Dawn, and the second part of the story begins. That is where the gore and guts come in. You have to see it to believe it. Yuck! Go for it, horror film lovers!
