On the run from a bank robbery that left several police officers dead, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his paranoid, loose-cannon brother, Richard (Quentin Tarantino), hightail it to the Mexican border. Kidnapping preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his kids, the criminals sneak across the border in the family's RV and hole up in a topless bar. Unfortunately, the bar also happens to be home base for a gang of vampires, and the brothers and their hostages have to fight their way out.

Critics Consensus

A pulpy crime drama/vampire film hybrid, From Dusk Till Dawn is an uneven but often deliriously enjoyable B-movie.

"From Dusk Till Dawn" answers the question about George Clooney, but raises a couple about Quentin Tarantino.

[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.

A perfect encapsulation of the interests of both Tarantino and Rodriguez. Clooney occasionally seems miscast, but the two narratives in one (crime and vampire) nicely anticipates Grindhouse. Plus: Hayek's dance sequence is an all-timer.

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.

Didn't expect it to start out as a from realistic crime drama and become a vampire movie but I ended up loving it!

Now i know where the movie "Sinners" comes from. The similarities are obvious. Sinners was trash from the beginning.

From dusk till dawn was indefinitely the worst movie I have watched in ages, Its a mish mash of two different genres and clichés that were not supposed to come together. It was obviously just Tarantino and Robert just wasting someone's money to have some fun. If you are a uncultured annoying person I would 100% recommend this movie, other wise stay away from this movie

Without a doubt Robert Rodriguez's best film, it's incredible how this film completely changes genre from the middle to the end.
