7.5/10
When I was a little squirt, I was dumbfounded to find my screen full of start-to-finish, blood-soaked crazy when this VHS was swallowed by my VCR. I was always entranced by Tarantino’s writing and I loved me some El Mariachi/Desperado action but, holy Salma, this got way outta hand. I absolutely fucking love this over-the-top schlock-fest. A couple of criminals take a family hostage to a surprise vampire buffet. Didn’t expect that and it blew my developing mind away. I still watch and love this flick on sick days and every time I remember how much it rules.
Loved the entirety of this movie aside from some of Richie’s hallucinations frustrating me. Hands down one of my favorite vampire flicks. The imagery is so great, the vampires so monstrous as it evolves into a tongue-in-cheek carnival of tequila-laden chaos (I’m looking at you Tito and Tarantula cameo amidst the mayhem). I truly appreciated how this bled from one genre to another without missing a beat. Definitely returning to the Titty Twister.
