From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino, From Dusk Till Dawn is a genre-bending film that combines crime thriller and horror elements. The story follows the Gecko brothers, Seth (played by George Clooney) and Richie (played by Quentin Tarantino), as they flee to Mexico after a series of violent crimes.
The brothers take a family of hostages—Jacob Fuller (played by Harvey Keitel), a former pastor, and his children, Kate (played by Juliette Lewis) and Scott (played by Ernest Liu)—to help them cross the border. They arrive at a remote strip club called the Titty Twister, but their night takes a horrifying turn when the club’s staff and patrons reveal themselves to be vampires. Together, the group must fight for survival until dawn.
Released on January 19, 1996, the film is celebrated for its sharp dialogue, unexpected twists, and unique blend of humor, action, and horror. It has since gained a cult following for its over-the-top style and memorable performances.
