From Dusk 'Till Dawn: Season Two (2015/E One Blu-ray)



Picture: B+ Sound: B+ Extras: B Episodes: B+



Robert Rodriguez returns with Season 2 of the new hit From Dusk 'Till Dawn series that airs on his El Rey network. Being a fan, but not having the channel, I'm very pleased with the quick release of the show on disc with a very excellent transfer (which we will get into later).


Re-making (sort of) the original Tarantino/Rodriguez film in the first season with a fresh cast, Season Two expands further with heart stopping action, great special effects, and a cast that is fun to watch. I highly recommend this series if you are a fan of the original film as it keeps the spirit alive and is produced very nicely. You can tell that Rodriguez definitely was about to tell the story he wanted to here and is really off the chain. Similar in some ways to True Blood, this show will please fans of both action and vampire horror.


The series stars D.J. Cotrona, Zane Holtz, Eiza Gonzalez, Jesse Garcia, Danny Trejo, Madison Davenport and others among a solid cast! Episodes include Opening Night, In A Dark Time, Attack of the 50 Ft. Sex Machine, The Best Little Horror House in Texas, Bizarre Tales, Bring Me The Head of Santanico Pandemonium, The Last Temptation of Richard Gecko, There Will Be Blood, and Santa Sangre.


In this supernatural crime series, Seth Gecko and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko, are wanted by the FBI and Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez after a bank robbery left several people, including policemen and Gonzalez's mentor Texas Ranger Earl McGraw, dead. Heading for the Mexico border pursued by Gonzalez, the Geckos encounter former minister Jacob Fuller and his family, whom they take hostage by commandeering the Fullers' RV. Drug lord Don Carlos reroutes them to a strip club populated by Snake like people that all must fight for food to survive until dawn.


Presented in 1080p high definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and a crystal clear, lossless DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 track, the show looks better on disc than it does on television! E One has done a terrific job with the presentation here, as was the case with the first season.
