From Dusk Till Dawn is a 1996 horror movie directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino. The movie stars Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, and Juliette Lewis in leading roles. The film tells the tale of two criminals, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his younger brother Richard Gecko (Quentin Tarantino), who are on the run from the law after committing a series of heinous crimes. They hijack a family's RV with the intention of crossing the border into Mexico and escaping punishment for their crimes.

The film opens with the Gecko brothers on the run, as Richard (Tarantino) has just killed a liquor store clerk. They are using the run from the law as a cover to meet with their contact in Mexico, who will help them to start their new lives. Along the way, they pick up a family of three, consisting of Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel), a pastor, his teenage daughter, Kate Fuller (Juliette Lewis), and his son, Scott Fuller (Ernest Liu). The Geckos hold the family hostage, forcing them to drive them to Mexico through the back roads.

The story takes a dramatic and action-packed turn when the group finally reaches the Titty Twister, a nightclub in the middle of nowhere. Everything about the club screams "seedy" and the group soon finds out the club has a sinister side. As it turns out, the nightclub and its patrons are all vampires. The club is actually a supernatural lair for creatures of the night, and the Geckos have just entered into their territory.

The rest of the film follows the group as they try to survive the night and battle the horde of blood-thirsty vampires. The Fullers and Geckos must band together to fight the undead enemies and protect themselves from getting bitten or killed. The film becomes a blend of action, horror, and humor, as the group fights for their survival.

The acting in From Dusk Till Dawn is phenomenal. George Clooney and Juliette Lewis are excellent in their roles as the dangerous yet somewhat sympathetic Gecko brothers and the wary teenager, Kate Fuller. Harvey Keitel delivers a strong performance as Jacob Fuller, who struggles to reconcile his faith with the violent chaos that surrounds him. The film also features standout performances from other actors, such as Danny Trejo as Razor Charlie and Salma Hayek as the sultry Santanico Pandemonium.

One of the most significant aspects of the movie is the visual style, which is both gritty and flashy. Rodriguez's use of bold colors, extreme close-ups, and quick cuts creates an intense and engaging atmosphere. The effects and makeup of the vampires also stand out as especially effective, with terrifying and believable designs that are still impressive even by today's standards. Tarantino's signature dialogue and writing style are also on full display throughout the movie, adding to the film's overall charm.

From Dusk Till Dawn has become a cult classic among horror fans and is still relevant today. The film is a mashup of several different genres, which provide a unique blend of riveting action, gripping horror, and humor. Its charismatic cast, gripping storyline, and impressive visuals helped to establish a new standard for horror films in the 1990s. Fans of horror and action will enjoy this classic film, which represents a perfect blend of vampire lore, genre-bending storytelling, and memorable characters.

From Dusk till Dawn is a 1996 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 48 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.2 and a MetaScore of 48.
