gavin6942 Luther who wants to get the old gang back together and arranges to meet Buck at the El Coyote in Mexico. Buck starts rounding up the old team which consists of C.W. Niles (Muse Watson), Jesus Draven (Raymond Cruz) and Ray Bob (Brett Harrelson).Bilge Ebiri of Entertainment Weekly rated it D- and wrote, "Without the genre-bending goofiness and engaging characters of the first Dusk, all that's left is cheap splatter effects and clichéd Western/horror homages." Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club called it "a gigantic waste of everyone's time, money, and energy." Youssef Kdiry of DVD Talk rated the film 4/5 stars and wrote, "I really enjoyed this movie. It was violent, sexy and politically-incorrect." I love the vast difference of opinion. And it is warranted, because on its surface this is not a very good movie. It certainly is nothing compared to the original. But you have to give it credit for keeping everything light and fun, and for the myriad of guest stars from Bruce Campbell to Robert Patrick and beyond. Even Tiffani Theissen? Geez. Much more fun today (2016) looking at this in retrospect.
George Mountzouris Don't listen to all the negativity, this film is not nearly as bad as it is said to be. I did not expect big things from this film, but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is actually quite good! I am a big fan of the original 'From Dusk Till Dawn', which is a great film, so I was interested in seeing what the sequel would be like. The director, Scott Spiegel, experimented greatly with some unorthodox shots and cool cinematography. It definitely sets the tone for the film. The acting is decent, especially from Robert Patrick, who I liked in this movie. I thought he was good as the main character. There is also some good acting in parts by Duane Whitaker, who did a good job as the 'leader', Muse Watson, and Bo Hopkins, who I liked as the Sheriff. The premise of the film is simple, and yet it's thanks to fun performances by some of the cast, and the work of Scott Spiegel, that the film works as a pretty cool art film. I appreciate the experimental work of Spiegel, for the trickery he shows with the camera. The music is pretty good too, although not on the level of the original's soundtrack. In my opinion, this film suffers from two things: the fact that it doesn't know what type of movie it is half the time, and some sub par acting by some of the cast (not mentioned above). The film at times feels like it's making fun of itself too much, and although it's a good thing that the film isn't taking itself seriously, I feel that the crew got a bit too carried away in some scenes. Some more seriousness in tone in some scenes, and less camp would have benefited the film as a whole. Overall, this is a good film, for a B-Grade sequel. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's a lot of fun, and if you're in the mood for a good vampire flick, and especially if you're a fan of the original and feel a need to return to the FDTD universe, it's definitely worth a look. I was under the impression that fans of the original are disappointed by this movie, but I do not agree with that at all. Fans will be pleased with this effort, if you don't go into it expecting a product as good as the original. This film was never going to be of the same quality as the first, but this should not stop you from appreciating it for what it is.
FlashCallahan Five criminals get together to rob a bank in Mexico. On his way to their rendezvous point, one of them gets into an accident, and stumbles upon the Titty Twister Bar. This little detour sets up the terror that awaits the outlaws and the officers on their trail....I don't know whether its the fact that I saw the brilliant original the night before, or the lame cameos at the beginning, but as soon as the title arrived, I know it wasn't going to be good.The film has very little to with the original, and I don't even know where it rests on the Tarantino/Rodriguez movie timeline, which makes it all the more frustrating.Patrick is there for the pay check, and the rest of the cast just try to to be too cool for school.The script is a massive problem too, whenever there is a Tarantino type scene, its cringeworthy as it just doesn't ring true.Action is boring, and on the whole, it shouldn't have been made.
atinder First movie was great and I loved it and this sequel is not connected to last movie, one of the vamps return to this movie, well for part of the movie as goes missing for rest of the movie. This movies does take a while to get started as there have a lot of filler scenes ,with some vamps scenes.The first few scenes with vampires look descent with make up effect as the movie goes on the vampires look less scary When the movie started get a little less boring, they make movie look messy, it just felt like the movie was all over the place and i did not were to go with and then gave up with rushed last 10 mins.The effect in this movie was not were near as good as the first, some were little descent but most of it was really bad,The acting was decent in the movie.Worth watching a least once 4 out of 10
