"From Dusk Till Dawn" won’t be everyone’s cup of bullets and blood, but
it is a near-perfect specimen of its rare type, an amalgamation of
"Reservoir Dogs," "Desperado" and the "Evil Dead" films that switches
genres on a dime. It is quick of wit and quicker of pace, bracingly
profane, often hilarious and gross at the same time, gaudily violent,
in-your-face and generally a hell of a lot of fun for those who enjoy
this sort of thing. Those who don’t enjoy this sort of thing should
probably avoid the artwork on the box, let alone the film itself.

A new disease has reached epidemic proportions, attacking and killing the children of New York. Entomologist Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino) uses genetics to find a way to attack the disease's carrier, the common cockroach. She succeeds by creating a hybrid containing termite and manta DNA and this new species kills the roach population by secreting an enzyme that causes the roaches to starve to death. Unfortunately, three years later, Dr. Tyler learns that her genetic species didn't die out in one generation as they were designed to do; instead they have not only bred, but they have evolved exponentially.

While a similar barrage of predictable slashing and thrashing has been
done before, horror master Wes Craven cranks up the production values,
updates the dialogue and smartens up the characters to bring this tired
genre into the '90's.
