Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)
Like a Cheesecake Blizzard: It's a pulpy mess loaded with empty calories, but it's so divine that once you start, you can't help but shovel it into your mouth until the last drop, brain freeze and diet be damned. ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)

Lewis Butler
The casting was excellent (Daniel DayLewis as Newland Archer, Michelle Pfeiffer as Ellen Olenska, and Winona Ryder as May Welland), and the acting and directing near perfect. Numerous Oscar possibilities in this film. You could feel the repression of a ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at Lewis Butler

But off course, all of this is really nice and all, but is it entertaining? Well, what shall I say? It probably is one of the most entertaining films ever made, especially if you like splatter films, 'cause this baby is loaded with gore.

These guys were going for a B-movie feel, lots of blood, lots of guts, lots of tits and ass, and lots of fun, and for the most part, they achieved their goals.
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN has its problems, but it delivers in respect to most of the stuff ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")
DVDActive (Chris Gould)
I haven’t seen any of FDTD's sequels, and judging by the things I’ve heard I’m not missing much. I guess the reason the sequels aren’t up to much is that there wasn’t a lot there to begin with. If it wasn’t for ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at DVDActive (Chris Gould)

At present, there is a Tarantino backlash in progress, but it's unlikely that the growing public dislike of "Mr. Overexposure" is going to damage From Dusk Till Dawn's box-office prospects, since the target audience won't care about the ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
Deliriously violent and gory as all get-out, Robert Rodriguez's Mexican-biker-vampire flick isn't for everyone. The body parts fly in the second-half of this Quentin Tarantino-scripted story about two bank-robbing brothers (played by Tarantino and TV ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J.

Q Network Film Desk (James Kendrick)
"From Dusk Till Dawn" is a movie screaming for a bad review. It has shallow characters, raunchy dialogue, and an overabundance of visually shocking gore and violence as its centerpiece. The problem is, in its own sick and twisted ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at Q Network Film Desk (James Kendrick)

"From Dusk till Dawn" is one of Robert Roderiguez better works. This horror/comedy, which has plenty of violence and gore, but is well-written and acted.

filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
If you have the faintest idea what this movie is all about, I'd appreciate a call. As best I can tell, the lowdown is this: guns, hostages, a Winnebago, Mexico, breasts, booze, vampires, and gore...lots and lots of gore.

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
It's great fun, but certainly not great art. From Dusk Till Dawn, a special effects blood-and-gore extravaganza from director Robert Rodriguez, follows in the footsteps of such cult classics as Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series, thumbing its nose at convention ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

A vampire gore-fest, the plot may be insubstantial but who's counting when you're faced with a tidal wave of explosions, violence and humour. Squatting at the epicentre of a convulsion of crime, brothers Seth (George Clooney) and Richard Gecko (Quentin ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at Movie Reviews UK

Movie ram-blings (Ram Samudrala)
From Dusk Till Dawn stars Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney in a Robert Rodriguez gorefest. The plot is fairly simple: Clooney and Tarantino play two thieving and murdering brothers, Seth and Richard Gecko.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
It's a love it or hate it film. I simply hated it. On its menu for fun, is a violent feast served up as charm and done in a tongue-and-cheek manner. It's a serial killer/horror film farce of nonstop over-the-top action and sleaze, involving ...read the complete From Dusk Till Dawn movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
