Marco Leonardi is quite a live-wire as the outlaw Johnny Madrid and his combination with the lovely, if pouty Ara Celi comes off. Michael Park's wry character Ambrose Bierce is a fascinating one, as he pretty much soaks it up with little effort in which doing so emits an ambiguously tainted air about him. Strangely enough while nasty and kinetic, I thought it became tiring when the survivors of the feeding work together despite their differences and try to fend off the vampires, as I thought the initial build-up was interestingly offbeat with its dry humour and lasting bite despite the systematic staples. But the two while crossing paths during stages, eventually come to be one when they encounter an orgy of alcohol, sexuality and blood at a desolate inn that just happens to be home for the blood-sucking kind. The mellow story starts of episodic - focusing on an Civil war hero looking to long for some cause while on the other side is an infamous outlaw with a hypnotic runaway beauty whose father (a hangman) follows their trail. It wears its influences quite proudly too. The sweeping camera has scope framing the moody, sunbaked landscapes and story dramatics with constant flair with that spaghetti western brutality shinning through. For most part this horror western comedy is very well executed, as it's brashly pieced with its admirably crafted make-up FX, slickly directed for its low-scale budget and colourfully acted. In a way it kind of plays out more similar to the original, only this time the carnage is set in the early 1900s (where the Old West was coming to an end) to be finally played out once again in the seamy Mexican tavern that harbours blood-gushing surprises for its guests. While I didn't think the second entry was as bad that it's usually made out to be, however "Hangman's Daughter" is still a definite improvement over "Texas Blood Money". Just like the previous sequel, the third entry of the "From Dusk till Dawn" franchise would be another quickly produced straight-to-video sequel that would be somewhat a prequel to the original film.

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. It is enjoyable enough for what it turned out to be. "From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter" is exactly what you would expect from a movie of this type. 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. It is, as always, a treat to have Danny Trejo in a movie, alongside the other familiar faces in the movie. As for the acting talents in the movie, then people were doing fair jobs with their given roles and characters. 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 night falls, the patrons turn into blood-thirsty vampires. A band of outlaws and holy men and up at a seemingly deserted tavern in a secluded location. The story in "From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter" is essentially exactly the same as in the first two movies. While better than part two, this movie still fell short of part one. Initially one might think vampires and the wild West doesn't make for a good combination, but the movie was actually enjoyable. This third installment to the "From Dusk to Dawn" movies is a prequel, as it takes place in the old West in American history. Reviewed by paul_haakonsen 5 / 10 Wild, Wild Vampires?.
