Jay Carr Boston Globe "From Dusk Till Dawn" answers the question about George Clooney, but raises a couple about Quentin Tarantino. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review David Hunter The Hollywood Reporter [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. Jan 19, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Imagine two movies plucked from opposite sides of the video store. Rated: B- Nov 18, 2008 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Robert Rodriguez’ ... forked tongue-in-cheek From Dusk Till Dawn [is] a blast, replete with Peter Cushing in-joke and a disco ball of burning death. Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It’s two films in one: a ruthless crime picture out of the Tarantino playbook that takes a detour to a Mexican brothel that turns out to be a nest of bloodsuckers ... Nov 16, 2024 Full Review Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying From Dusk Till Dawn has stylish direction coaxing its genre-bending narrative, with bouts of dark hilarity, all centered by the charismatic George Clooney. This vampire jaunt has a one-of-a-kind bite.  Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert D Bring back more like this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Shaun R Loud, crazy and bloody. This was at a time when Clooney was actually cool. Great film, total carnage. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Amazing 2 This movie was a masterclass in action/horror. Great movie to watch again and again and represented hispanic lore of vampires well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Nick O Robert Rodriguez turns the violence all the way up in this ultra-gory, non-stop extreme action vampire flick that absolutely explodes out of the gate! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Alexsander B A film that started very well, but had a peculiar development to say the least, but it's still a good action film.
