5/10
Good for a single watch, maybe two
17 October 2004
This is one of the best behind-the-scenes documentaries I've ever seen, but it's long and pretty slow, unfortunately. This has just about every single part of the behind-the-scenes process, and just about every single crew-member that there was on From Dusk Till Dawn. It has a little of the actors involved as well, but it concentrates more on showing the people behind the film, rather than the ones that you actually see in the film itself. It has plenty of clips of crew-members explaining what they do and why they like their job, and many shots of them working or enjoying their spare time. It's more "behind" the scenes than any other behind-the-scenes documentary that I've ever seen, that's for sure. I thought it was pretty interesting to see so much of what went on between takes and behind the camera, for once. I just thought too much of this was dull and less interesting than it could have been. I would have liked more talking about the actual movie, and more of Rodriguez and Tarantino explaining their vision of the film, instead of various crew-members joking around. All in all, a decent behind-the-scenes documentary, but too long and uninteresting. Not worth getting the collectors edition of From Dusk Till Dawn for, but if you can watch it for free, do so... once. I recommend any big fan of From Dusk Till Dawn to get the collectors edition, though. It features plenty of stuff that fans of the film and/or fans of Tarantino and/or Rodriguez will enjoy. Overall, Full Tilt Boogie rating: 5/10. From Dusk Till Dawn collectors edition DVD rating: 7/10. 5/10
