Foul-mouthed, hot-tempered criminal Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his disgusting, idiotic brother Richie (played by writer Quentin Tarantino) leave a trail of bodies in their wake as they head for Mexico. They take a vacationing family (Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Ernest Liu) hostage and arrive at their intended rendezvous point: a phenomenally seedy, sleazy bar called "The Titty Twister." Before long, they have learned the truth about the bar: all the staff are vampires who regularly prey on the customers.
While the excesses of this movie are too much for conservative folk (and especially film critics), this action-packed, spectacularly gory movie was fun for me; it's like being in an intense, gruesome haunted house ride. The cast is enjoyable; it's particularly noteworthy that Tarantino and director/editor Robert Rodriguez chose an interesting, off-the-wall collection of performers, including former "blaxploitation" star Fred Williamson, makeup effects expert Tom Savini (as a biker named "Sex Machine"!), and veteran movie heavy Marc Lawrence. It also provides an amusing showcase for Cheech Marin, who plays three small roles.
The visual/makeup/creature effects design is impressive, although I must repeat that this movie is more for hardcore horror fans and some of you may find it repulsive (and pointless).
However, I say good job! I give it eight out of ten!
