A vampire film for people who don't like vampire films

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 1999)

First off, this movie gets points from me for making the redneck couple seated ahead of me leave midway through. From Dusk Till Dawn is at once brilliant and mindless. Who else but Quentin Tarantino would attempt to make a Thug (George Clooney) and his deranged rapist brother (Tarantino) the protagonists of the story? More to the point who else could have succeeded? As long as the viewer goes in recognizing that this IS a Tarantino script and that there won't be any "angst-ridden" vampires going on and on about the existential rammifications of their conditions, the ride is more than worth the price of admission. 8 out of 10
