ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Heralded by critics as "too much fun not to like," FROM DUSK TILL DAWN is a genre-bending, delirious gorefest, penned by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez, in which two criminals and their hostages unknowingly seek temporary refuge in a truck stop populated by vampires, with chaotic results. While certainly not for the faint of heart, this "hilarious piece of genre filmmaking" (Apollo Guide) is a delicious escape that stars Tarantino, Academy Award winner George Clooney and Academy Award nominees Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis.

SYNOPSIS

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.
