SUMMARY

A gang planning to rob a bank in Mexico and find themselves at the Titty Twister bar deep in the desert. As the police close in on them, the criminals find themselves fighting for their lives against the bar's clientele of vampires. [Full Synopsis]

CAPSULE REVIEW

A hopeless sequel that lacks any of the redeeming qualities of the original. Poor effects, tepid direction and lacklustre performances add up to a forgettable effort that sorely needs some of Tarantino's trademark snappy dialogue. Worth watching for the ever-wonderful Bruce Campbell who thankfully only apears in the first few minutes. Otherwise one for must-see-everything vampire devotees only.
