Also featured is the suspect Carlos, with his links to an underworld that plainly means different things to different people, as well as the seductive Santanico Pandemonium, a representative of the undead with a taste for humans.
#Watch from dusk till dawn movie#
Here’s our comparison guide to the movie and the series: CharactersĮssentially they’re all present and correct: on the run bank robbers and brazen killers Seth and Richie Gecko, the RV-owning Fuller family – former minister and widower Jacob, his daughter Katie and adopted son Scott, who the Gecko boys kidnap to help them cross the Mexican border.
The latest hopeful is From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, a reinvention from the creatively fertile mind of Robert Rodriguez, the one-man Austin, Texas production house, of the low-budget horror and crime mash-up he concocted with Quentin Tarantino in 1996 in the wake of the duo’s ascension with the likes of Desperadoand Reservoir Dogs.Ī pulpy hostage thriller overtaken by a fight against vampires, the movie gives way to a 10-part series that screens on SBS 2, Tuesdays at 8.30pm (watch episode 1 above). Turning a successful movie into a television show is a tricky matter, as the demands of two hours versus 12 or even 24, the limits of small screen production budgets and the necessity of a contained storyline against that of a long form work can all swiftly become fatal flaws for every Fargo, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and M*A*S*H, there is a Clueless, Highlander and Casablanca (don’t know about the terrible 1983 television series? Keep it that way).
