Customer Reviews of From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter

Been There Before
I guess if you're a fan of the original cleverly planned From Dusk To Dawn,you have interest in seeing where the sequels would go...In the case of "Texas Blood Money",a low-budget,poorly conceived movie...absolutely nowhere! But as was the case with prior Blockbuster sequels sometimes it takes a 3rd try to get it right...The best way to describe From Dusk To Dawn 3: Hangman's Daughter is an exact duplicate of the first with the era and the characters changing,otherwise the premise is the same.Like Clooney & Tarantino from the original,It is now Outlaw,Johnny Madrid who is on the run.And instead of the kidnapped family in the Van,It is the Stagecoach passengers who uwittingly enter the famed Bar after their Stagecoach drivers are killed...The Bar is the same with Vampire hosts forming the entertainment.Instead of Cheech Marin providing the "hawker" role,You now have a Stable boy.So what you get with "Hangman's Daughter" is a basically a rehash of the original and when you get done watching it,You feel you're "been there,done that".Is it entertaining? Yes,Graphic Special Effects,Lots Of Action & Suspense.It's certainly watchable and certainly entertaining.If you keep your expectations realistic.The Acting is passable.The Characters are likeable.Temuera Morrison will make you forget Salma Hayek in a moment.All in all,I felt entertained for my "buck" (actually 5) Hopefully the series has now had its run before "watering" it down any further ala "Halloween" or "Friday The 13th.

Ambrose Bierce vs The Vampires
This third movie in the series goes back to the turn of the century (19th to 20th that is) and concerns author Ambrose Bierce who traveled to Mexico to aid in the revolution but was never heard from again (see the book The Old Gringo by Carlos Fuentes). In this version of history, Bierce runs into some vampires at a saloon that becomes the bar in the first movie.

Bierce is looking for Pancho Villa to offer his services. But on his way he runs into outlaws, highwaymen, would-be outlaws, posses, a half-breed, a Fuller brush man, and lots of vampires.

Several plots bring all of the characters to the vampire saloon. There we see that even drunk Bierce would have been a fine addition to the revolution. But the usual biting and bloodletting ensues and we discover that the hangman's daughter is an important figure for the vampire (although I wonder how the newly-converted brush salesman knows enough to announce that she has come).

Although this film follows the previous films in pitting outlaws against vampires, this one has a different feel due to the historical setting and characters. It also sets the stage for the later events of the first movie. Bierce is a wonderful character and very nicely portrayed. I will not tell you if his historical disappearance is due to vampires or not.

Pretty Good Third Entry In "Dusk" Series
Third entry in "From Dusk Till Dawn" series is a prequel which has a violent outlaw escaping his execution at the hands of a ruthless hangman and taking off into the desert with his daughter. The two end up at the infamous bordello bar from the first "Dusk" film and it's vampire mayhem galore. This straight-to-video effort is actually very creative with both its direction and general story, not to mention some quality make-up effects from the KNB team. Featuring a strong cast for a video release which includes "Dusk Till Dawn" alumni Michael Parks and Danny Trejo, Rebecca Gayheart, Orlando Jones, and Temura Morrison, just to name a few, this sequel is actually far more solid than one might expect.
