![]() ![]() Spiegel is a longtime associate of Sam Raimi, having made acting appearances in all of Raimi’s films as well as co-writing The Evil Dead II (1987), before making his directorial debut with the supermarket slasher film Intruder (1989). What entirely wrecks the film is Scott Spiegel’s direction. Texas Blood Money imaginatively reworks the fundamentals – with the outlaws now having to conduct a bank robbery while at siege from the police outside the building and from their own vampire-infected numbers on the inside. Certainly, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money develops the premise better as a horror film than From Dusk Till Dawn did, which, after a fine lead-in, ended up being nothing more than an extended barroom brawl. That did not stop Tarantino and Rodriguez overseeing two sequels, of which this was the first and would be followed by the prequel From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter (2000), which is the best of the three films, and the tv series From Dusk Till Dawn (2014-6).īoth the sequels use the same basic plot set-up of the first film where a group of outlaws encounter the Titty Twister bar and then have to fend off vampires. A man squeezes another's crotch, a man is thrown over a fence by a bull and a man is nearly hit by a car.The Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez collaboration From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) was a considerable success, even if it met with a mixed reception from public and critics alike. Several cars explode and a man bursts into flames. A man hits one man with a parking meter and another with a street sign. Many scuffles with many people thrown into walls, poles, cars and plate glass windows. A few bats are shot we see a few with bloody wounds and some flailing in puddles of blood. A head is thrown at a wall and leaves a bloody mark. We see many corpses, some decomposed and some with bloody bite marks all over them. A man throws a knife into a man's leg and a man stabs another, then licks the bloody knife. A man is thrown from a building and electrocuted by some wires, then falls onto a car. A man strangles another a man wraps a cord around a woman's neck and pushes a fan's uncovered spinning blades toward her face as the scene ends. Many people are attacked by bats or bitten by vampires (we see lots of blood squirt on their clothing and nearby objects and bloody marks on their bodies). In one scene, lots of gunfire is exchanged and we hear screams in several scenes, lots of people are shot - sometimes repeatedly - but we rarely see more than a few holes in their clothing before they fall to the ground. A very bloody man pulls a bullet out of his stomach (we hear squishy noises) and then falls to the ground (blood splatters as he hits). A man is pushed onto a telephone pole hook we see the hook coming out of his mouth and blood on his face and clothing. A nude woman is attacked by bats in the shower and we see her bloody body lying in the bloody bathtub (her bare breasts and shoulders are visible) later we see bloody water overflowing onto the floor. ![]() A man chokes a nude woman, pushes her into a mirror (we later see big shards of glass sticking in her bloody face) and decapitates her with a shard of glass (her head rolls into the bloody bathtub, and we see it there again in a later scene). VIOLENCE/GORE 10 - Several people are impaled by knives, poles and a bull's horn green goo, foam and blood pours out of their bodies and their flesh quickly decomposes. ![]()
