After Sinners exceeded expectations both critically and commercially last year, the audience's attention was drawn to a very similar movie from the mid-1990s. The older film was From Dusk Till Dawn, which, like Sinners, featured vampires and was set in a saloon. It starred George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino, and grossed around $60 million at the worldwide box office. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, From Dusk Till Dawn spawned a spin-off series and is now regarded as a cult classic. You'd be surprised to learn that only a year earlier, Rodriguez made a movie that grossed roughly the same amount at the box office. Coincidentally, that movie's premise sounds remarkably similar to another property, one that would attain unparalleled success many years later. The movie in question is currently available on Netflix, but not for every subscriber.
