From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter

This third installment to the "From Dusk to Dawn" movies is a prequel, as it takes place in the old West in American history. Initially one might think vampires and the wild West doesn't make for a good combination, but the movie was actually enjoyable. While better than part two, this movie still fell short of part one.

The story in "From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter" is essentially exactly the same as in the first two movies. A band of outlaws and holy men and up at a seemingly deserted tavern in a secluded location. As night falls, the patrons turn into blood-thirsty vampires.

The characters in the third movie were more detailed than those in part two, and as such you get more into the movie and a greater wholeness permeates the overall storyline.

As for the acting talents in the movie, then people were doing fair jobs with their given roles and characters. It is, as always, a treat to have Danny Trejo in a movie, alongside the other familiar faces in the movie.

While better than part two, this is not a movie that will make a lasting impression, nor is it a bright shiny moment in cinema history. "From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter" is exactly what you would expect from a movie of this type. It is enjoyable enough for what it turned out to be.

The first movie stands well on its own. The second movie is just a filler. And the third movie is essentially also just a filler, although it does show the origin of the seductive Santanico Pandemonium character from the first movie.

After Watching From Dusk Till Dawn, i fell in love with the movie. I couldn't wait till the sequels came out! I didn't even mind the fact that they where being released to video, because the first one was so great, they couldnt possibly screw up! That was until i saw From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. There where only a few entertaining parts in that film, and when i saw a few...i truley mean it! I thought they wouldnt even release the third installment after how horrible the second one was. But luckily they did! Hangmans Daughter is a far superior film compared to the Texas Blood Money. Sure this film does not surpass its original, but i will amdit for a sequel it is a good film. The cinematography is amazing, and the characters are well acted. I think the story is very entertaining, and explains things about the first film, which i thought was interesting! Its just the way this film shot, that makes it diffrent from the first and especially the second! And definatly as one person stated Rodriquze really did have his hands on this film! Some of the style does remind you of his earlier work!

All in all, a good film, that doesn't surpass the first...but as a film on its own its a good film, with style! Rent it if you have some spare time! But just make sure you like From Dusk Till Dawn, or you might not enjoy this film as much!

It begins with the getaway of Johnny Madrid (Marco Leonardi) , a nasty local bandit , from the gallows who then kidnaps his hangman's (Temuera Morrison) beautiful daughter , Esmeralda (Ara Celi) , with a little help from Reece, a female outlaw from the U.S. With the hangman and a local posse on their trail, Johnny meets with his gang who all rob a stagecoach which contains American author Ambrose Bierce (Michael Parks) along with newlywed couple John and Mary Newlie. As night falls, all parties coincidentally seek shelter in an isolated inn which is run by vampires led by the high priestess Quixtla (Sonia Braga) . However , the team unwittingly come into contact with the vampire denizens of the bizarre bar and soon join the ranks of the undead , taking place the usual carnage . Along the way a violent posse formed by the handman , deputies and underlings go after them . Esmeralda is revealed to be the half-human, half-vampire princess Santanico Pandemonium, whom the vampires want as their heir in which all the humans must join forces if they are to survive the night from the vicious blood-suckers.

Ridiculous , but entertaining horror/western , it results to an absurd prequel to ¨From dusk to Dawn¨ 1995 by Robert Rodriguez who here produces, in which a bunch of delinquents led by Marco Leonardi and other partners-in-crime decide to knock over a stagecoach and subsequently taking shelter at the weird brothel , then things go awry , while describing the tale of the birth of the vampire princess Santanico Pandemonium . Direct-to-video follow-up , it is a passable entry , quickly made , being set 100 years ago in Mexico , earlier the first film's massacre . This gory vampire movie contains thrills , chills , plot twists , brief doses of humor , gore and guts as well as go-for-broke action set pieces. The film is starred by Ambrose Bierce/Michael Parks , a notorious author who missed in Mexico , in fact the title of the film, "The Hangman's Daughter," is taken from the title of a short story titled : "The Monk and the Hangman's Daughter¨. As the protagonists suffering the bite put on them , except for Ambrose Bierce who manages to avoid momentarily the ordinary slaughter with lots of blood and gore . There are sympathetic and snappy dialogues but with no much sense and full of profanities and bad taste . This "Prequel" to the first From Dusk Till was professionally directed by directed by P.J. Pesce . Rating : 5.5/10 , this one is an acceptable film of the saga . Average . Only for ¨From dusk till dawn¨ saga followers and completists.

However, what it delivers isn't a little.

The prelude, if you will, actually lasts the majority of the movie. The horror doesn't start until very late. Until then it's a violent western tale to be told. And if there was time and money on this project I think it could have delivered a whole lot more.

Still doesn't measure up to the first movie, but was a whole lot better than the second one. Besides, Western/Vampire Horror Movie isn't something you see every day and it earns points just for that.

I definitely recommend this movie, it's not about to change your world, but it's different enough to be entertaining and imaginative enough to be interesting.

You know, this film aint too bad at all! this is an entertaining horror flick that returns to the quality of the first film and away from the pure drivel of the second movie. this is set in the past and we see the Vampire club as it was in the past. Like the first movie in this we see no monster action for the first half and pure blood sucking gore for the entire second half of the film. This not to say the first half is poor because it isn't. Again like the first movie the first half is different yet very watchable.

The acting is very good and the special affect are ok if not spectacular.The story is hardly ground breaking but at times this is very funny and in the moments when it was supposed to be, not like in the second movie when it was funny when they were trying to be serious! An above average horror that is hard not to like. 7 out of 10.
