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...
