Watch From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money For Free

Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This straight-to-video sequel to the surprise cinema hit of '96 is a lot better than I had heard and expected. Sure, it's just a rehash of the original film done on a much smaller scale (and lower budget, obviously), but what this film may lack in money and originality it more than makes up for in pacing and almost non-stop action. It's definitely a tongue-in-cheek cross between comedy and horror, a fact which some reviewers seem to have missed, and is pretty enjoyable on a dumb-but-fun scale.Director Scott Spiegel first cut his teeth by assisting with some of the EVIL DEADs back in the '80s, before making his debut with the incredibly gory slasher movie INTRUDER. Here, we find out that Spiegel hasn't progressed as a director (as has his pal Sam Raimi) in the twelve-odd years since then, as basically he uses exactly the same kind of comic-book style as in that movie. Spiegel's penchant is for bizarre camera angles, so we witness things occurring from behind moving fans, from the point of view of a man doing press-ups, from the mouth of a vampire, from the bottles of barrels and glasses, and lots more besides. Far from being annoying and over-the-top (well, maybe over-the-top) as some reviewers would have you think, these dodgy camera angles are the highlights of the film for me; at least they're somewhat original and make the film more fun and interesting to watch. You can just imagine Spiegel trying to work out where he can place the camera next...The contrived plot is tenuously linked to the original film by having a brief scene set in the bar (seemingly rebuilt after the slaughter that occurred there before), and also a cameo appearance from that vampire barman Danny Trejo, who sets the plot in motion. Don't be fooled into thinking that Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino had anything to do with this film, as they didn't; being executive producers, all they had to do was let Siegel use the rights of the film so that they could get a cut of the money. That's their achievement over with.The cast is familiar only to those who enjoy similar B-movies and straight-to-video releases. The noticeably ageing Robert Patrick is surprisingly pretty good as the lead, especially considering the slumming level of some of his performances in the past decade. Bo Hopkins plays the town sheriff, and could well be playing exactly the same character he did in MUTANT fifteen years previously; did someone mention typecasting? Also of interest are some brief cameos from Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Bruce Campbell, who star in a movie playing on television (!) at the very beginning of the film, and are bitten to death by a flying swarm of vampire bats.These bats lead me on to the special effects in this film. They are cheap, yes, but they're also enjoyable on a B-movie level. The bats themselves are purely CGI, and are pretty well done; not in the least bit realistic, but then they don't have to be for a comic-book film like this. The vampires look less like aliens this time around, more like actors with prosthetic appliances, contact lenses, and false teeth, and of course we don't get to see any fancy morphings either. Saying this, the vampire deaths - where they dissolve into skeletons - are suitably grotesque and gruesome, and highly reminiscent of the end of the first EVIL DEAD. The blood and violence level is relatively high but not disturbing, more splattery in the style of BRAINDEAD, with severed heads bouncing around and the like.After a fairly nondescript two-thirds, this film suddenly kicks into high-gear at the end with a showdown between the majority of the Mexican police force and the four vampire bank robbers, with Patrick caught in the middle. Here, seemingly endless amounts of bullets are fired, loads of vehicles explode, and people are slaughtered wholesale. Pretty damn impressive on the low budget this film has, and it almost comes close to a similar scene in TERMINATOR 2 on which it models itself. In fact, this finale is highly entertaining and packed with action, flying stuntmen and other cheesiness. While FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2: Texas BLOOD MONEY never rises above the level of a B-movie, it's undeniably enjoyable entertainment that contains a tongue-in-cheek approach sometimes lacking in movies today. Fans of EVIL DEAD II and similar efforts should have a field day. Yes, this is a bad film, but it's a damned good bad film that never becomes boring!

I don't know why, when I'm done watch this movie, I go to IMDb like usual to give my good rating for this freaking good movie and ended up shock with this rating: 4.0 (10/2/2016) and I wonder why its so low. So I digging up and they said this movie have a bad actor, mindless action and everything. I don't know what to say but I love this movie so much as how much I love the first one. I think it looks really great, with modern western style. All the vampire did a really good job here to scared me to death. Maybe because there is no George Clooney or Salma Hayek that make this movie not really popular. But in 2016, this movie looks so classic and I'm sure will be one of those rare material that's hard to be make by people in this age of 2000s. I dunno what to say but the feel, the atmosphere and the action is so good and was carefully made. If you love the first one you will love this one too. One of the best horror action from 90s. It deserved around 7-8 actually.

Robert Patrick Week: Day 6From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money is shamelessly grimy B-movie trash. The first Dusk Till Dawn flick is a chaotic horror classic, and this one takes certain ingredients from it and attempts to give it its own hard boiled heist flavour, to a certain degree of success. It's less crazy than the first, less of a horror, and unfortunately not as good a movie. It doesn't deserve the critical beatdown it's got though, and is still a rambunctious bundle of late night cable TV fun. Robert Patrick scruffily portrays Texas career criminal Buck, who gets himself a rag tag posse together to rob a backroad casino and make off with a bunch of loot. Only problem is, Razor Charlie, a straggler from the events of the first film, is hitch hiking along the highway, and turns their world upside down. We never actually see any action take place in the infamous, amusingly named Titty Twister bar, but rather a bunch of shoot em up carnage alongside dusty highways and dingy motel rooms. Hot on Buck's trail is Sheriff Otis Lawson (Bo Hopkins) who aims to bust his crew for good. Buck's crew consists of several welcome character actors including Duane Whitaker, Brett Harrelson, Muse Watson and Raymond Cruz as the grumpiest Cholo in the state. Watch out for neat little cameos from Tiffani Thiessen and Bruce Campbell as well. A healthy helping of gore, some cracking little shootouts help this one to be an albeit inferior sequel that's still enjoyable and commendable for not being a lifeless retread. Fun stuff.

In a further melding of the crime and horror genres, "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money" entertains as well as it can. Admittedly, it's pretty damn stupid, some of the effects are extremely hokey, and there's not much story to speak of. But it's got a sublime B movie cast, it's very lively and sometimes gory, director Scott Spiegel revisits his "Intruder" gimmick of coming up with ridiculous P.o.V. shots, and there's a healthy dose of humour. All of that makes this a sequel that's more fun than it might have been otherwise.Robert Patrick stars as Buck, a career criminal. Buck is convinced to join a bank robbing scheme by his associate Luther (Duane Whitaker). But Luther has angered the wrong individuals - the blood sucking variety - and this starts a chain reaction of vampirism; things keep going from bad to worse. The wonderfully idiotic twist is that Luther still insists on going through with the job. When the vampires increase in number and get out of control, Buck is forced to team up with his nemesis, a hard nosed Texas sheriff named Otis (the always amusing Bo Hopkins).Patrick, Whitaker, and Hopkins are joined by Muse Watson ("I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its first sequel), Raymond Cruz ("Alien: Resurrection"), Woody Harrelsons' brother Brett ("Strangeland"), and Danny Trejo, a holdover from the first movie. The cameos in the opening sequence are fun, too. James Parks plays the son of the character whom his father Michael portrayed in "From Dusk Till Dawn". Patrick and Hopkins are great (it's a treat to see Bo in an ass kicking role) and they pretty much hold the whole thing together.This is a "good", goofy, dose of no brainer entertainment for 88 straight minutes.Seven out of 10.
