If the movie Open at Dawn, from the year 1996, has gone down in the history of the cinema is for the sensual dance, with little clothes, of Salma Hayek with a yellow python, and for being a film scripted by Quentin Tarantino, who is also the co-star with George Clooney , under the direction of Robert Rodríguez.
I have just seen this movie again and the passage of time has affected it a lot, especially in the area of special effects.
As you will all remember in Open till dawn Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney played two brothers who had robbed a bank and wanted to escape to Mexico to dedicate themselves to the good life but, once in this country, they wait in a roadside bar for their contact to arrive at dawn but, to their surprise of all, all the dancers, waiters and employees of the bar are vampires which forms a fight, with a lot of gore, of humans against vampires.
The movie can clearly be divided into two parts and the key point would be when the vampires appear. In the first part, the script shines more with some of those magical dialogues that come out of Quentin Tarantino's fist like the scene at the gas station. And, in the second part, all the action would come with a lot of blood and dismemberment courtesy of Robert Rodríguez.
Open till dawn has had two continuations that have been released directly on DVD.
