A collection of the most blood-thinning vampire films of all time
About the film:
A pulpy crime drama/vampire film hybrid starring screenwriter Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney in his first major Hollywood role.
Seth Gecko (Clooney) and his younger brother Richard (Tarantino) are on the run after a bloody bank robbery in Texas. They escape across the border into Mexico and will be home-free the next morning, when they pay off the local kingpin. They just have to survive ‘from dusk till dawn’ at the rendezvous point, which turns out to be a Hell of a strip joint.
“A deliriously trashy, exuberantly vulgar, lavishly appointed exploitation picture”
—Todd McCarthy, Variety
