From Dusk Till Dawn: Season Three

Seth and Richie Gecko (D.J. Cotrona and Zane Holtz) are together again in this third season of the south-of-the-border vampire series inspired by the 1996 film directed by Robert Rodriguez (who produces here and also directs an episode). Richie, a one-time hothead who became more focused and crafty after he was turned into a vampire, and his human brother Seth now give orders in the vampire underworld, working for vampire Lord Venganza Verdugo (Ana de la Reguera) after a demon from Hell named Amaru possesses their one-time collaborator Kate (Madison Davenport) and plots to kill the vampire Lords and take over the world. Former enemies (including the Texas marshal on the trail of the Geckos and a rival vampire warlord they fought in season two) join forces to send Amaru back to hell. This season adds spaghetti Western style, notably in a showdown in a desert ghost town where the vampires use enchanted bullets to kill the possessed soldiers of Amaru's undead army. Jake Busey and Wilmer Valderrama return and cult horror icon Tom Savini joins the team this season. Produced for the El Rey cable channel, the show features dark humor, lively (if not always witty) banter, and loads of movie references, along with over-the-top violence. Compiling all 10 episodes from the 2016 third season, extras include episode commentaries, behind-the-scene featurettes, and a deleted scene. A strong optional purchase. (S. Axmaker)
