From Dusk Till Dawn 3 - The Hangman's Daughter
This gory prequel captures the wild, anything-can-happen spirit of the original FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, even reproducing the first film's memorable closing shot. It avoids feeling like a mere rerun, however, by cleverly taking place nearly 100 years ago, around the turn of the century on the Texas-Mexico border. There a legendary outlaw gang, husband-and-wife evangelists, a village executioner's runaway daughter and real-life macabre author Ambrose Bierce (Parks), their assorted posses and pursuers wind up at the raucous, timeless, vampire-run saloon that ties these flicks together. Midway through, the motley characters must forget their quarrels and fight ferociously for their lives after the hideous bloodsuckers drop their disguises and begin to feast. The origin of one of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN's most memorable characters is revealed--even though actress Salma Hayek is replaced by unknown lookalike Celi--and fans of this series will drink it up, as well other undead westerns like SUNDOWN: THE VAMPIRE IN RETREAT.

The third in the series of vampire thrillers shifts virtually the same plot as the previous two back 100 years into the Old West to ring a few, but not enough, neat changes. A desperado gang on the run from a gun-toting posse goes to ground in an out-of-the-way Mexican bar only to come under even worse attack when they realise their hide-out is a vampire lair. Virtually resembling two different movies glued together by a mid-way shock revelation (which will come as no surprise to those familiar with the classic original), it's only the horrifically inventive ways of removing vast numbers of assorted body parts that counts in this average chiller.

Pleasantly Surprised!
This is a film that I've been put off watching for some time now. The original was fantastic - a definite five-star all-time favorite. But the first sequel was absolute crap. How anyone could screw up the original concept so badly, I just don't understand, but they did. So I've not got round to watching this second sequel (actually a prequel, set over a hundred years before the first film) for some time now. However I'm glad I eventually did, because this film is much, much better than Texas Blood Money.
However it's still not quite as good as the original. The story is very similar, just in a western setting. So it misses out on the originality and impact of the first movie. It's got the feel of a remake, just with cowboys rather than escaped convicts, and is therefore somewhat predictable. Also the main characters aren't as developed as they were in the original or as well acted (but Clooney, Tarantino and Keitel would take some beating, so that's not too surprising). However this film is just as much fun as the first (the violence, gore and nudity certainly compare favorably), and with this sort of movie, that's what counts.
The disc itself wasn't anything to get excited about though. The picture and sound were OK on my laptop, but the only extra was one cut scene from the very end of the movie.
Overall, a good, fun, enjoyable film. Watch the original, watch this one, but stay well clear of the first sequel which is truly dire! -

Gunfight at the Vampire Pyramid!
this is really the first movie so lets call this dusk til dawn one.
Well this goes into detail where all them orrible vampires multiply and get a whippin from some no messin cowboy dudes, way before the titty twister was built on that ancient pyramid structure which you see at the end of the george clooney, Harvey Keitel gorefest.
This disc is also part of the dusk till dawn trilogy boxset.
My favourite scene when a vampire has his meat and two veg kicked and they fall on the floor,( you should here the wailing vamp here its hilarious ) cracking good gore/comedy nice and cheap too. : ) -
