Story Synopsis:
From Dusk Till Dawn is a non-stop blood-and-guts vampire spree. When the Gecko brothers—disturbed sex-offender Richard (Quentin Tarantino) and thief Seth (George Clooney)—escape from prison and head for the border, they leave a bloody trail behind them. On their way, they kidnap the Fullers—a former minister (Harvey Keitel) and his two kids, Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu)—ending in a seedy strip bar filled with vampires. The Geckos and the Fullers engage in an all-night battle resulting in death, gore and strewn body parts.

DVD To LaserDisc Comparison:
The sharp 1.82:1 picture is sure to please with excellent color fidelity and natural fleshtones, though some scenes appear unfocused. The matrix PCM soundtrack is preferred overall to the low level or non-existent surround delivered by the discrete except when the split surrounds and .1 bass effects are activated in the Dolby Digital version.
