I loved the first "Dusk Till Dawn" and it really bugged me to see how terrible the second one turned out to be. When I got a copy of the third one at the video store I work at, I kept thinking how was it going to be. Surprising enough, its a fun-filled sequel with plenty of kinetic camera work and gore that really keeps it up to the first. The acting is solid from the cast and everyone plays it out fine, especially Marco Leonardi as the tough lead and Michael Parks, who played a sheriff in the first. For a small budget, the special fx look great and its good to see the old fun-filled makeup being splattered on the screen. The plot that follows is very interesting and all the characters are well developed. First-time director P.J. Pesce does a great job and handles the camera work well. It creates a perfectly odd western film. The only faults I had were that just when things are getting better around the plot in the first half, then suddenly piles on the gore, drowning everything from the intriguing storyline. I didn't mind, but it really takes out most of the plot/logic of the film. The end also seemed quite rushed.
(SPOILER WARNING AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!) - I was disappointed since they finish it exactly like the first and you really want to find out what happens to the survivors of the bloodbath.
All around and despite downfalls, I thought it was a great deal of fun and a mighty good cult film to watch with friends who have strong stomachs. Don't miss it if you enjoyed the first.
