![]() ![]() They swarm and it’s a treat to watch them take out the good guys one by one. It’s loud, rowdy and looks like a great place to hang out, until the vampires start in. The setting for the second half of the film, the Titty Twister, is a character itself. He’s dealing with his own issues and trying to keep his family together and like the Gecko brothers, they stick together until the end. I also like Keitel’s character Jacob, the preacher who’s lost his faith. It’s about family and even though they’re brutal killers, they’re still family. ![]() I love how no matter what, Seth and Richie stick together. The film moves along at a great pace, not going too fast or two slow. You can’t see it happening, it just happens and you’re suddenly on their side. Unlike other films which telegraph the switch, or force it on the audience, here it’s organic. It’s the double switch, which wrestling fans know all too well. By the end of the film, when everyone is dead, you’re happy to see Seth drive off into the sunset, even though he’s killed a number of innocent people before reaching that bar. ![]() The film does such a great job at making the switch that you pretty much don’t notice it. The second half of the film is a horror film, where the violent criminals switch and become the good guys. The first half of the film is a road movie with two violent criminals, who are clearly the bad guys. In all honesty, this is two different films meshed together. Quite frankly, I find them to be incredibly boring, but From Dusk Till Dawn changes the typical formula up. I’ve never ever been keen on vampire films. This is most likely the source and true home of the vampire monsters who’ve been spreading their curse for centuries, with many abandoned motorbikes and trucks from their past victims littering its grounds. After Kate drives the RV away, the camera pans back to reveal that the “Titty Twister” bar is the top of an Aztec temple partially sunk into a valley wall. Kate offers to accompany Seth, but he declines and gives her some cash before they go their separate ways. Theyhelp the two get out as the bar explodes.Īngry over the deaths of Richie, Jacob and Scott, Seth demands that Carlos lower his 30% take for his stay in El Rey, He tells them to wait in the bar, to which Carlos reluctantly agrees. The night comes to a close with Seth and Kate being the last two alive and they break windows to get out of the bar while killing more vampires before Carlos and his men show up. The group spends the next few hours fending off the vampires with each person in the group getting bitten and coming back. They also figure out that forming a cross with two objects helps fend off the vampires. Seth convinces the group that Jacob is their best weapon, if he rediscovers his faith. Only Seth, Jacob, Kate, Scott, a biker named Sex Machine (Tom Savini) and a Vietnam veteran trucker named Frost (Fred Williamson) survive the attack and quickly establish an alliance in order to survive through the night. One of the dancers locks the door and the vampires start feeding on all bar patrons. Chaos subsequently ensues as the employees, the strippers and the house band, are all revealed to be vampires. She undergoes a transformation into a horrific vampire and bleeds him to death before she meets her own end. ![]() In a short confrontation, Richie is stabbed in his already wounded hand and seeing his blood, Santánico attacks him. Afterwards, Chet Pussy and some others approach the group, looking to settle the score with the Geckos.
