Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre
Release Date: 06/01/2024
47. From Dusk Till Dawn (Rodriguez, 1996) Chekhov's Codpiece Gun
Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre
Cultists, Sinners was a film that wore its influences on its sleeve. One obvious influence was the ‘90s Cult Classic From Dusk Till Dawn. The film kicked off a series of Grindhouse collaborations between directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, but does it really have more than superficial similarities to Sinners?
