Movie Description
A notorious pair of criminal siblings on the run from the Texas Rangers kidnap an R.V.-driving minister and his kids to get into Mexico in this schizophrenic thriller. Once across the border the unlikely caravan heads for a seedy bar that promises refuge but offers something entirely different--a horde of bloodsucking vampires! Written with flair by Quentin Tarantino.
Synopsis
The reptilian Gecko brothers, Richard and Seth, are headed south of the border after a gruesome killing spree. Along the way, they kidnap jaded preacher Jacob Fuller and his two teenage kids. When they arrive in Mexico, the quintet pull up to the Titty Twister, the toughest, nastiest, raunchiest biker bar on either side of the border. Unfortunately, the Titty Twister is also home to a nest of violent vampires -- who can transform an hombre into a fellow bloodsucker with just one bite. This sets the stage for the mother of all gorefests, as the Geckos, their hostages, and a few allies use their wits and endless ammo to battle the nocturnal creatures.
