Overview
About the Film
From Dusk Till Dawn is a 1996 American horror-crime film directed by Robert Rodriguez from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, who also stars alongside George Clooney. They take a family — a preacher who has lost his faith played by Harvey Keitel and his two children — hostage and force them to drive their RV across the border to a strip club called the Titty Twister, where they plan to meet their contact. The film's most famous feature was its radical mid-point genre shift — for its first half, From Dusk Till Dawn is a tense, Tarantino-scripted crime thriller; then the strip club's employees reveal themselves to be vampires, and the film transforms into a splatter-horror siege movie for its entire second half.
Salma Hayek's entrance as the vampire Santánico Pandemonium, performing a hypnotic snake dance, was one of the most iconic introductions in 1990s cinema. George Clooney's performance established his big-screen charisma before his breakout in Out of Sight.
