Une nuit en enfer

Is this the best supernatural/horror show ever done? No. Is it mildly ridiculous for a director to remake his own (admittedly awesome) movie into a t.v show? Sorta.

The first few episodes AFTER the pilot seem to drag a bit, and you're left seriously questioning whether all these discombobulated plot points are actually going anywhere. That and the fact that to anyone who's seen the movie, which probably 98% of the viewership has, it may feel like an overly long trip to the bloody fun you know is coming at the Titty Twister.. When this project was first announced, I was hesitant about the idea of essentially a remake of one of my favorite movies.. Even with Robert Rodriguez at the helm. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" was my sentiment... But alas, I stuck with the whole first season, trusting in my beloved RR that he had a real vision and purpose to expanding this story...And I'm glad I did.

The back half of the first season was phenomenal.. the actors are all settled into their parts by this point, and the expanded mythology starts to come together in very satisfying ways. It bears mentioning that the whole season is beautifully and excellently shot and edited. All practical effects are flawless. I can't wait for season 2, as it will be breaking new ground and getting past the plot of the original movie. It's on Netflix ppl, check it out.

The first season is a very extensive and amazing version of the movie. Of course there are parts added, but it is fully in the spirit of the movie, and very well written. The second season was a continuation of the first season, as if it was one ongoing story. However, about season III: wow. I think it's somewhat like the Godfather (comparison ends as is): part I is an epic tale, part II is rather good too, but season III is just the worst. What the f*** happened?! This is nothing like the first two seasons: the acting is (very!) cheap, the story is fully not connecting to the previous story, it's just... too simple. As if the budget was cut by 90%. This is like a new series trying to lift by on the success of the first two seasons. I just can't find the right words for how terrible this is... Like Scrubs: if you liked the first seasons, as I did very much, do not watch the last (/latest) season!!

Based on the FROM DUSK TILL DAWN movie from 1996. And it went for 3 seasons but it stopped.

This is not a sequel to the film but rather a remake in television series form featuring the same characters from the movie.

The vampire mythology has been changed from the movie and has been expanded on more in the television show.

The first season was great. Very familiar to the movie but with a lot of differences. I thought the second series went downhill a bit. It was entertaining enough and fun to watch but it did seem to drag on for a few episodes. Thankfully the third season picked the pace back up. It seemed rushed but it was back on track. Even though it ended they did leave it open in a way that they could do another season down the track.

I do not know why they stopped making the series. A lot of people were angry when they found out it wasn't renewed. It was the most popular show on that channel at the time. But oh well, sometimes things must come to an end.

Everyone who was cast did an AMAZING job. I hope one day they all work together again as the chemistry they had was great.

The show wasn't as violent as the movie but like the movie there was some well written dialogue and humour throughout.

I highly recommend this show if you were a fan of the movies or if you like vampire related shows in general. Even if you are not a fan of such a genre, it is still worth checking out.

Hopefully we will get something else set in the world of From Dusk Till Dawn again one day

Took a couple of episodes to get used to it after the film, but this series is really good. In some ways it rivals the movie.

I was very apprehensive about checking out the From Dusk Till Dawn the Series, because I really liked the original film and felt that the show wouldn't do justice. This is also because they attempted to do several other films afterwards that were all flops. The difference though between the last couple films and this series, is that Robert Rodriguez(the guy who created/directed original film) is the helmer of this series rather than someone else. The show has proved to be successful with his adapting the film to television. 5 episodes in the series and each one has been nostalgic of the film. What I like about the show is that it follows the original story religiously, but goes into way more detail than it did in the film. I assume things will be somewhat different though from the film before the season is over in order to keep the story going since the series was recently renewed for another season after this one. So far though, the story is building the same way it did in the film, in that the Gecko brothers are on the run after robbing a bank, join up with the Fuller Family by taking them hostage in there RV so that they can evade police and make there way for El Rey. Episode 5 was the best episode I've seen yet. A small synopsis is that The Gecko Brothers and Fuller Family are almost into Mexico, but they need to get past the border checkpoint. This scene is much different than the film though, it that the stakes feel way more dangerous and higher. The story is great and smart, incorporating Wilmer Valderammas character Carlos and Ranger Gonzales who is still hot on the Gecko Brothers trail. All I have to say is by the end of the episode, you'll be wanting to see next weeks. If you've been keeping up with each episode so far, you've noticed little nods to the world of Rodriguez/Tarantino such as The Big Kahuna Burger, Earl Mcgraw's character played by Don Johnson in the series, Seth/Richies mannerisms..etc. If you get the El Rey channel, Netflix, or have internet to download, I definitely recommend keeping up with the series. It is surprisingly an entertaining show to watch on Sunday's.
