Storyline
Seth Gecko and his younger brother Richard are on the run after a bloody bank robbery in Texas. They escape across the border into Mexico and will be home-free the next morning, when they pay off the local kingpin. They just have to survive 'from dusk till dawn' at the rendezvous point, which turns out to be a Hell of a strip joint.

This is horror with a wink and a nod to drive-in theatres and sweaty back seats. This is how it's done.

ReelViews
It's great fun, but certainly not great art.

The New York Times
Mr. Rodriguez demonstrates his talents more clearly than ever -- he's visually inventive, quick-witted and a fabulous editor -- while still hampering himself with sophomoric material.

The New Yorker
The movie's horror-comics second half is cheesy, derivative, and ultimately a little wearying. But it's also unpretentious and insanely cheerful.
60
Robert Rodriguez's second effort is a funny, craftily written piece of low-grade horror crapola.
