This is a great horror film. It this better then the original From dusk till dawn. It is a prequel. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 4 is underrating it. I give it 9 out 10. This a very scary movie. All the From dusk till dawn movie are are must. See this movie. It is one of the best horror movie of all time. This is scarier then The silence of lambs ever could be. This movie will scarier you. It not easy to be scarier then the original From dusk till dawn. But this film was successful in being scarier then the original From dusk till dawn. This is not a 4. Take my word for it. See this awesome movie.

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.

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.

Faithful to the source material but not enslaved to it, this fine genre film is a cult classic that surpasses the original in many ways. Superbly written and directed by a gifted master, the stage is well set for the actors to do some truly great work. Certainly Robert Patrick gives one of the finest and most inspired performances of his celebrated career. The supporting cast is also excellent and accentuates the dialogue supplied them in a superior script. The drama, the pathos, the humor of the first entry is all there and much, much more. This is one of those rare films that transcends the label of "sequel" and offers an even more intense and creative experience to the audience. Often overlooked and unrecognized as the rough gem it is, this motion picture deserves to be seen by more appreciative, sophisticated cinemaphiles on a wider basis.
