Well produced with a lot of love and some real thought put into the story, exciting and provides more than enough for any horror fan. The first was the bank robbers on the run with hostages, the second was the heist crew and the third is a rousing Desperado style actioner that morphs into the horror we all know is coming. From Dusk till Dawn was followed by two direct-to-video installments, a sequel From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money (1999) and prequel From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangmans Daughter (2000). I love the formula for these films they always start out with a slower paced, pulp/crime style narrative that suddenly explodes into creature FX, blood orgies and vampire mayhem without much warning. Narrowly escaping death, outlaw Johnny Madrid is on. Danny Trejo also returns, as he must, playing pretty much the same character he did in the first and second, never mind the fact that he keeps dying (you can’t really kill Danny, everyone knows this). The latest bone-chilling installment of From Dusk Till Dawn reveals how this frightening saga all began. Bierce is famous for actually disappearing somewhere in that area back then, and I like how the film cleverly weaves fact and fiction, putting in a commendable effort to make the turn of events fascinating beyond just a servicable horror level.
Also along for the ride are a group of wagon travellers including a young newlywed couple (Rebecca Gayheart and Lennie Loftin), oddball Ezra (Orlando Jones) and the real life writer Ambrose Bierce, played with alcoholic grit and gallows humour by Michael Parks. Madrid is unknowingly headed for a far worse danger though, when he and Esmerelda run straight into the iconic Titty Twister bar, dressed up like a frontier whorehouse this time around. Information page about From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangmans Daughter (starring Marco Leonardi, Michael Parks, Temuera Morrison and more) on American. It's 100 years before the first film, and Ambrose Bierce (Michael Parks) is on the trail of a killer who has fled to Mexico, where he stumbles onto a vampire-infested brothel. Rounding up a posse, he hunts Madrid and his scurvy gang through the terrain. The ferocious hangman is none too pleased, given the menacig scowl of Maori bad boy Temuerra Morrison, who played Jango Fett in another prequel we all love. When notorious outlaw Johnny Madrid (Marco Leonardi) dodges the hangman’s noose and escapes, he brings abused daughter Esmerelda (Ara Celi) along and scrambles for the state line. It’s a period piece, set a hundred years in the past, sometime around the Mexican/American war. The first came out of the gate roaring and paved the way, the second was a more mellow heist orientated flick that incorporated the horror elements in as it went, but the third does something altogether different. In fact I’d even be so bold as to say that despite not having quite such a budget and resources as the original Tarantino/Rodriguez splatter party, this prequel almost has more in the way of imagination. Some franchises feel stale and wrung out by the time the third effort comes along, but not From Dusk Till Dawn.
