How it scared people
The vibe
For fifty minutes it's a nasty Tarantino-scripted crime picture, and then everyone walks into a strip club on the Mexican border and the genre changes without warning — still the cleanest bait-and-switch in horror. Salma Hayek's snake dance is the hinge. Everything after is KNB latex, exploding vampires and Cheech Marin playing three separate roles.
