What an utter disappointment this was. I'm a fan of the original film. But this almost adds nothing to the original. The actors are mediocre at best, but especially the writer fails terribly. The choice to hint already early in the film to vampires totally missed the point why the film was so successful artistically in the first place. I stopped watching at series one when they entered The Titty Twister. It went downhill so fast, not only the writing but the acting as well, like the actors totally lost inspiration as well. Till that moment I would have given the film a 6- but after, I give it a 1- . Do not bother watching this.

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.

I really liked the first season. The characters, plot, mythology, everything seemed pretty well written and well thought out. I was looking forward to season two....Season two started alright, but then as the season progressed, the storyline became moronic. By the end of season two I felt like I had been robbed. The characters were acting out of character (Carlos letting enemies walk away at the well, Ranger Gonzales standing around holding his gun in Jackknife Jeds while the customers were becoming the main course, and the list goes on and on) there were times when you could not figure out a characters action, or inaction at all.My rating is giving the first season an 8, the first six episodes of season 2 a 7, and the last episodes of season 2 a 1. Instead of hiring Demi Lovato, They should have hired a writer or two.Edit: In looking at the other reviews for the show, I noticed that a lot of the good reviews came before Season 2, that makes sense.

From Dusk Till Dawn ...I first thought this was another foreign Mexican show but it isn't. It is about Ancient myths and ideologies coming to place in a modern 21st century environment, a brotherly drama, a pact of blood and human destiny. It's really not something you can summarize here at all.It stars some of the most convincing actors I have seen on TV, and the action scenes are so unbelievably intense (and I'm not someone who gets on the edge of my seat for even what many call the most intense scenes on the Game of Thrones, which is known for its high intensity scenes), but in this show, it does a damn fine job of getting me all pumped up and excited without even consciously knowing that i am excited. Some parts are just cinematically beautiful, and some of it just reminds me of those quintessentially awesome cinematic scenes from a classic Tarantino movie like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino is heavily involved with this show and does the screenplay for the episodes. Stellar cast and crew working on this. It's a definite winner. Similarly, if you think the pilot is slow (which is highly unlikely if you watch it till the end, you will be hooked onto what happens next, just like me), the next four episodes is more drama & action, and then it comes to some super intense action-hero type stuff, which the 12-year old dorky comic book reader kid inside of me, just couldn't stop jumping up and down about. I seriously binge watched the entire first season in one or two days, and again, I am not this type of person, but it is totally worth it binge-watching this entire series.I think this is a more hardcore version of Supernatural and it has similar 'brotherly' themes. Like that, it also has the same suspense that The Walking Dead does, with vampires instead of undead zombies. The effects are damn convincing and awesome, no other words to describe it. The awesome plot twists like the Game of Thrones, are also present here. This is mainly because the writers and Special effects team are movie guys, and have done really popular classic movies, and they use those same techniques for this show.This is my new favorite TV show. (even higher than Game of Thrones, the Walking Dead, etc) and no, I haven't even watched the movie version yet. But I will eventually.I recommend this to anyone in this world.
