Seth Gecko and his younger brother Richard are on the lam 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.
Sounds while creating Seth Gecko: ♦ From dusk til dawn. View the trailer.
After a hectic shootout and some funny, quirky dialogue in the opening, the movie does develop quite slowly and is buoyed only by the occasional interesting bit of dialogue (which is trademark Tarantino). A few of the characters we’ve been introducted to do up to this point are fairly interesting, but are a little underused or are simply excessive in whatever they do. I was finding myself rather bored by the proceedings. But once they reach the bar, all hell breaks loose, as our “heroes” unpleasantly discover that the bar is owned by vampires, and for the last 45 minutes From Dusk Till Dawn is a non-stop ride of action, thrills, and campy dark humor.
