From Dusk Till Dawn of the Dead

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas head to Mexico and find themselves locked up in a bar full of blood-sucking vampires!

It's October! So that means it's the return of the Spooky Ookie season on the podcast, and we bring back our Halloween mini-arc – VAMPIRES, WITCHES, AND WEREWOLVES, OH MY! Over the next four weeks we'll present a different horror film, based on Vampires, Witches, Werewolves, and Oh, My (a spooky Grab Bag).

It's Week One : Vampires, and we're talking the Quentin Tarantino penned, Robert Rodriguez directed classic FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. Starring George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino as the Gecko brothers, a pair of fugitives on the run for a string of robberies and murders, who kidnap the Fuller family of Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, and Ernest Liu; commandeering their RV and using it to escape into Mexico with. Once across the border, this very Tarantino-esque, talky crime thriller turns full bat shit crazy, when they find themselves holding out in a bar that is a haven for vampires.

The film is notable for making stars of Clooney and Salma Hayek, as well as featuring some pretty groovy tunes, but it is clearly a film of two parts.

Does it hold up and have a place as one of the great cult vampire movies of all-time? Or is it a great crime film that is dragged down by its shlocky genre film second half? Tune in to find out...
