7/10
Laughable horror, gore, and violence
13 June 2005
The Gecko brothers (played by George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino) will make you laugh, make you cry, or do just about anything else, as they take Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his two kids (Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu) hostage in the Southwest after a successful bank robbery. For the freedom they so desire, they decide to flee to Mexico in Fuller's RV and when they finally are south of the border, they stop at the first bar they see for a drink; unfortunately, the dark, dank pit is inhabited by blood-sucking vampires. The "Titty Twister" is full of vampire-like bar-employees and truckers who desire the fresh meat that arrives every so often. Extreme, gory violence ensues as the Gecko Brothers and Fullers try to defend themselves and prevent from becoming vampires along with the seemingly only sane and non-vampire at the bar, Sex-Machine (Tom Savini).

The violence and music made me laugh, and I enjoyed every minute. Cheech Marin has multiple roles and director Robert Rodriguez makes his signature move (family-member roles) by casting cousin Danny Trejo as one of the bar patrons.
