VAMPIRES. NO INTERVIEWS. 

Bank-robbing brothers Seth and Richie Gecko (George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino) are trying to make it to Mexico, taking preacher Jacob Fuller’s (Harvey Keitel) family hostage in the process; what they’re not counting on though is vampires. It sounds like a great idea, and some of Robert Rodriguez/Tarantino’s fans ate it up, but this breed between gangster movies and vampire flicks is about as thin as they come. However; the visual effects are pretty cool and so is the cast; we could have done without Tarantino, but Clooney is almost likable as his brother.

1996-U.S. 108 min. Color. Directed and edited by Robert Rodriguez. Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino. Cast: Harvey Keitel (Jacob Fuller), George Clooney (Seth Gecko), Quentin Tarantino (Richie Gecko), Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin… Tom Savini, Fred Williamson, Kelly Preston.

Trivia: Co-executive produced by Rodriguez and Tarantino. Tim Roth and Steve Buscemi were considered for parts in the movie; Tarantino also considered directing it at first. Followed by two direct-to-video sequels, starting with From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money (1999).
