Bank robbers (l to r) Duane Whitaker, Muse Watson and Raymond Cruz Spiegel is a longtime associate of Sam Raimi, having made acting appearances in all of Raimi’s films as well as co-writing The Evil Dead II (1987), before making his directorial debut with the supermarket slasher film Intruder (1989). What entirely wrecks the film is Scott Spiegel’s direction. Texas Blood Money imaginatively reworks the fundamentals – with the outlaws now having to conduct a bank robbery while at siege from the police outside the building and from their own vampire-infected numbers on the inside. Certainly, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money develops the premise better as a horror film than From Dusk Till Dawn did, which, after a fine lead-in, ended up being nothing more than an extended barroom brawl. That did not stop Tarantino and Rodriguez overseeing two sequels, of which this was the first and would be followed by the prequel From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter (2000), which is the best of the three films, and the tv series From Dusk Till Dawn (2014-6).īoth the sequels use the same basic plot set-up of the first film where a group of outlaws encounter the Titty Twister bar and then have to fend off vampires.

It's a goofy movie with some good action (at the end), but is otherwise bad. The film is kind of a weird one to recommend. It's a big distraction for an already silly movie. Much like the picture-in-picture silliness from Dragon Fighter, it just adds nothing. The film is full of weird camera choices like filming from the bottom of a glass, filming between the loops of a rotary phone & moving the camera up and down to match the movements of one guy doing push-ups. The worst part, to be honest, is the hokey camera angles used. Army of Darkness was made in 1991 and this film was made in 1999- it should look better. Let me clarify that comment so that it doesn't sound like a compliment. Their CG effects are really dated and many of the effects are shot like Army of Darkness. The story is stupid, the Acting is all over the map and the effects are mostly-silly. The good parts- practical effects, real Vampire action (at the end) and a decent (if silly) climax. Given this crap, is it any wonder why I take forever to write these? In all seriousness, the movie is not terrible.
