Richie’s inability to play it cool leads to a number of comical mishaps where people wind up needlessly dead. Speaking of the flick’s darkly comedic elements, much of the trouble Richie and Seth find themselves in results from Richie’s neuroses and the results are both hilarious and useseful for adding to the chaotic tension. As bizarre as that may sound to anyone that hasn’t seen the film, it’s pretty fitting to the off-color tone and dark humor that is peppered in throughout. In one unforgettable sequence, we see a functioning guitar made entirely of human parts fused together. The visceral elements are epic and serve to remind of the genre output of the ‘80s when practical gore was the standard (and perhaps that’s why Rodriguez has the legendary Tom Savini on hand to play a particularly memorable character). Though the horror elements present later on, the third act delivers as much carnage as a more conventional vampire flick might offer up over the course of its entire runtime. Join others and track this song On Dusk Till Dawn, ZAYN and Sia tell the story of two lovers who are willing to do whatever it takes to stay together. And I have to assume that was very much by the director’s design. Rodriguez maintains the intensity he has established from the get-go throughout the picture and it’s only the threat at hand that changes at the one-hour mark.īecause the story that unfolds is harrowing throughout, the shift from two brothers on the run from the law to two brothers fighting for their survival against a clan of vampires doesn’t feel nearly as disruptive as it may otherwise have.

The pivot from heist film to horror movie could easily have felt disjointed and clunky but it doesn’t. The tonal shift works as a clever subversion of expectations and it’s handled remarkably well. Just as Seth and Richie manage to put some distance between themselves and the authorities, they wind up in even worse danger than they were in with the law in hot pursuit.

Every night, creatures all around you are moving about under. We see the characters go from the frying pan to the fire. Dusk till dawn: The secret world of night creatures in towns and cities. While the horror doesn’t present itself until the third act, the flick moves at breakneck pace from start to finish. The film starts out as a gritty action-heist picture and manages to be supremely entertaining as exactly that. And anyone with a beating heart is there to serve as a snack. But when Richie and Seth show up at the bar they’ve chosen as a rendezvous point, they are faced with a decidedly different obstacle: The majority of the employees and patrons of the establishment are vampires. Their plan succeeds in getting them out of the country. Following a bank robbery, the siblings stop off at a fleabag motel, where they take a family of three hostage in the hopes of blending in while making their way across the Mexican border. From Dusk till Dawn catches up with the Gecko brothers: Seth (George Clooney) and Richie (Quentin Tarantino).
