Description
It's nonstop thrills when George Clooney (THE PERFECT STORM, THREE KINGS) and Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) star as the Gecko brothers -- two dangerous outlaws on a wild crime spree! After kidnapping a father (Harvey Keitel -- U-571) and his two kids (including Juliette Lewis -- NATURAL BORN KILLERS), the Geckos head south to a seedy Mexican bar to hide out in safety. But when they face the bar's truly notorious clientele, they're forced to team up with their hostages in order to make it out alive!

From a match made in heaven comes a movie spawned in hell! Young hotshot director Robert Rodriquez (El Mariachi, Desperado) teamed up with Pulp Fiction auteur Quentin Tarantino (offering his services as writer and co-star) to make this outrageous, no-holds-barred hybrid of high-octane crime and gruesome horror. QT plays Richard Gecko, a borderline psychopath who breaks his career-criminal brother, Seth (George Clooney), out of prison, after which they rob a bank and leave a trail of dead and wounded in their bloody wake. Then they hijack a mobile home driven by a former Baptist minister (Harvey Keitel) who quit the church after his wife's death and hit the road with his two children (played by Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu). Heading to Mexico with their hostages, the infamous Gecko brothers arrive at the Titty Twister bar to rendezvous for a money drop, but they don't realize that they've just entered the nocturnal lair of a bloodthirsty gang of vampires! With not-so-subtle aplomb, Rodriguez and Tarantino shift into high gear with a nonstop parade of gore, gunfire, and pointy-fanged mayhem featuring Salma Hayek as a snake-charming dancer whose bite is much worse than her bark. If you're a fan of Tarantino's lyrical dialogue and pop-cultural wit, you'll have fun with the road-movie half of this supernatural horror-comedy, but if your taste runs more to exploding heads and eyeballs, sloppy entrails and morphing monsters, the second half provides a connoisseur's feast of gross-out excess. Bon appetit! --Jeff Shannon

 From Dusk Till Dawn October 11, 2008
It is a classic. the 2 disc set has everything you need and more. if you are a Quentin Tarantino fan, Harvey Keitel, or George Clooney, it is a "must have". as an added bonus if you are a Salma Hayek fan, she is the hottest Vamp on the planet!! if you like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs fan, get this one. it is great.

0 out of 1 found this review helpful
How rare it is to find a great vampire movie starring a major actor, George Clooney in this case, who gives one heck of a performance! Suffice it to say that if you are a horror movie buff, this film will satisfy your deepest horror needs, curdle your blood, chill your bones, and give you an ending shot that explains all you need to know. With enough said, order your copy today!

I love it. It's Campy, Fun, over-the-top, and action filled. Great performances, cast, dialog, and non-stop entertainment.
And Vamp Camp works for me.

woah -- 128 reviews? this is insane!! yeah, the cd rocks...but the only reason to buy the cd is song #13 - by tito & tarantula..."after dark"...the rest is just rock, not so extraordinary...and mostly found elsewhere. but i suppose #13 is also...but if not, buying a cd for a gem like this could not be wrong... in any way....
